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. John Philip Sousa initiated the concert tour tradition in 1891.
The band’s 17th director, Marine Band Director Col. Michael J. Colburn, has chosen a diverse mix of programs from traditional band repertoire and marches to instrumental solos. Programs are rotated throughout the tour to accommodate different concert venues.
By the end of October, the Marine Band will have performed a total of 29 concerts in 31 days on its 2011 tour. This year's tour route takes the band through eastern Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
