Join us on August 31, 7 PM, as the “The President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band performs at the National Museum of the Marine Corps!
The Marine Band performs a varied repertoire including new works for wind ensembles, traditional concert band literature, challenging orchestral transcriptions, and the patriotic marches that made it famous. The band frequently features its members in solo performances that highlight their virtuosity and artistry. The U.S. Marine Band is the only musical unit that bears the title “The President’s Own” and whose mission is to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
