The 369th Experience, was cocneived and actualized during the WWI centennial period. Around 2013 the idea of creating a tribute orchestra to James Resse Europe's 369th Regimental band started to perculate.
The idea was to gather musicians from HBSU's (Historically Black Colleged and Universities) and form them into "The 369th Experience"
Driven by the vision of the very dedicated Ms. Stephanie Neal, by 2018 the vision had manifest into a full orchestra being assembled for the 2018 Armistice Centennial Event Celebration.
Sponsorship and support came from the U.S. WWI Centennial Commission and a grant from Coca Cola.
