SUMMARY:"The President's Own" United States Marine Band
DESCRIPTION:Join the renowned “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band for an evening of spirited selections\, ranging from classical to popular. \nFive years have passed since the scarlet coats of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band last appeared on stages in the Northeast of the United States. In the style of the band's 17th Director John Philip Sousa\, who initiated the concert tour tradition in 1891\, Marine Band Director Col. Jason K. Fettig has chosen a diverse mix of programs\, from traditional band repertoire and Sousa marches to instrumental solos and a salute to the Armed Forces. Free tickets are available (limit four per request) by clicking the "Register" tab on the upper right of this page. Seating is general admission and ticket holders must be seated by 7:15pm; remaining seats will be released to the standby line at that time.\n  \nEstablished in 1798 by an Act of Congress signed by President John Adams\, the United States Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. The band made its White House debut on New Year’s Day\, 1801\, and has performed at the inauguration of every President since Thomas Jefferson\, who is credited with giving the band the title\, “The President’s Own.” \nFrom the earliest days of our nation\, the Marine Band’s primary mission has been to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Performing for state arrival ceremonies\, dinners\, receptions\, and accompanying famous entertainers\, Marine Band musicians appear at the White House more than 200 times each year. Additionally\, the Marine Band participates in more than 500 public and official performances annually\, including concerts and ceremonies throughout the Washington\, D.C.\, metropolitan area and across the country during the fall concert tour. \nIn 1891\, the band’s legendary 17th Director\, John Philip Sousa\, led the Marine Band on its first concert tour. As a result\, for more than one hundred years\, the Marine Band has toured throughout the country performing in communities both large and small. Marine Band concerts offer a unique blend of traditional concert band and contemporary wind ensemble music suitable for people of all ages and musical tastes.\n  \nWebsite: http://www.marineband.marines.mil/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/marineband\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/marines/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/marineband\nYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/usmarineband
