United States Marine Band

For more than two centuries, "The President's Own" United States Marine Band has been part of the events that have shaped our nation. John Philip Sousa, leader of the band in the 1880s, said "The Marine Band is the national band... as great among bands as America is among nations." The Washington Post says, "The U.S. Marine Band demonstrated once again that it is not only the best in the land but, very likely, the best in the world." This extraordinary concert is free and open to the public. Information on how to request tickets will be announced.
