​

April 14, 2024 | Story by Megan Trexler | Commander, Navy Installations Command

WASHINGTON – The Emmy-winning Imagination Movers, an American children's band known for their high-energy songs, catchy lyrics, and vibrant imagination, headlined events in Navy Region Japan and Navy Region Korea during the week of March 15-22, 2024. The events took place at Naval Base Atsugi, Fleet Activities Yokosuka, and Fleet Activities Sasebo in Japan, and Fleet Activities Chinhae in Korea, as well as Naval Base Singapore. Hosted by Navy Entertainment, these family-friendly gatherings brought joy and excitement to over 350 Navy families.

Formed in New Orleans, LA, the Imagination Movers have carved out a unique niche in children's entertainment. Their anthemic pop-rock sound is not just for kids but also appeals to parents, creating a perfect setting for family bonding. This distinct blend of engaging music and entertaining performances was on full display during their recent tour across Navy bases in Japan and Korea.

The events were more than just concerts; they were a celebration of imagination and creativity, encouraging kids and adults alike to think outside the box and dream big. The band's ability to connect with their audience was evident in the enthusiastic participation and smiles on the faces of both children and parents. In times when family members are often separated due to military duties, such events play a crucial role in strengthening family bonds and providing much-needed leisure and relaxation.

The Imagination Movers' performances offered a respite from the challenges of military life, bringing a piece of home to these distant shores. The success of these events underscores the importance of providing quality family entertainment to those serving overseas.

Navy MWR’s mission is to deliver high-quality, customer-focused programs and services that contribute to resiliency, retention, readiness, and quality of life. Navy Entertainment tours make a positive impact on the morale of our troops. The program provides quality, live entertainment for Sailors stationed overseas and on deployed ships at sea.
