About Marine Corps Music
Marine Corps musical units perform at ceremonies, parades, festivals, professional sporting events, concerts, and other public events. Marine Corps musicians sustain the Corps’ rich military culture and present inspiring public programs that entertain audiences and instill a sense of national pride and patriotism. Ten Marine Corps bands perform six types of ensembles:
- Concert Band - A group of 50 Marines, a full wind ensemble that performs all types of traditional music and transcriptions.
- Ceremonial Band - A group of 21-50 Marines which performs marches, patriotic music, and official ceremonial music at various military ceremonies.
- Jazz/Show Band - 15-20 Marines who perform Jazz, Swing, Rock and other various styles of popular music.
- Jazz Combo - A smaller version of the Jazz/Show Band. This ensemble, usually consisting of 3-6 Marines, is able to perform jazz music in a smaller, more intimate setting.
- Brass/Woodwind Quintet - A group of five Marines who perform traditional and ceremonial music in smaller venues.
- Bugler - A trumpet player who performs at funerals and memorial services.
