My daughter sent me a photo from a concert she attended last night in Santa Rosa featuring The President's Own, the U.S. Marine Corps Band which is touring the country right now (I'll bet they're glad to be away from the White House). I'm guessing she took this shot while they were playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" since it looks like the piccolos are out front.
I almost think she'd join if they'd guarantee her a spot in that band.

We've had that band in our town. They are amazing!
My uncle was a member of "The Presidents Own" for about 20 years as a saxophonist. He has a lot of fun stories about playing for presidents and luminaries.
We had the chance to see them perform several times and they are always impressive. And for a performance group, they do operate as a military organization - My uncle didn't make a very good Marine, but he can play a mean saxophone.
