Recent tours have included performances in Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Mexico and a tour of the Hawaiian Islands. The Volunteers also perform annually at Disney’s Epcot Center for its Memorial Day celebration.

The ensemble regularly includes performances for senior citizens, young children and wounded soldiers in their tours.
