The United States Marine Band: Musicians
Gallery
About this Gallery
Since 1798, the Marine Band's primary mission has been to provide music for the President of the United States. Whether performing for South Lawn arrival ceremonies, state dinners, receptions, or accompanying famous entertainers, the musicians appear at the White House nearly 200 times annually. These performances range from a solo pianist or harpist to the full concert band. Today's Marine Band musicians graduates of our nation's most prestigious music schools are selected at highly competitive auditions and often hold advanced degrees in music.
