The Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active
professional musical organization. Founded in 1798, the band has
performed for every U.S. President since John Adams. Known as “The
President’s Own” since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the Marine
Band’s primary mission is to provide music for the President of the
United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
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 marches to instrumental solos.
This concert is part of the 2019 U.S. Marine Band Concert Tour on the West Coast and is sponsored by the Acalanes High School Instrumental Music Program. The concert is free, but tickets are required. Tickets are limited to 4 per request. This event will take place in the school's gymnasium.
