"The President's Own" United States Marine Band performed Monday October 2,
2006 at 8pm in the PAC. The director was Lieutenant Colonel Michael J. Colburn and the
assistant director was Captain Jason K. Fettig. The different numbers in the performance
were "Summon the Heroes", "Guillaume Tell Duo Brillant", "The High School Cadets",
"Scherzo and Finale" from Symphony No. 4 in F minor, "Semper Fidelis", "Lincolnshire
Posy", "American Spirituals", and "The Stars and Stripes Forever". The different
instruments played were flutes, clarinets, saxophone, cornets/trumpets, horns, trombones,
tubas, bass, and keyboard. There were other instruments used that used but I was not able
to identify them. When I looked at the pamphlet they were piccolo, oboe, bassoon,
euphonium, and percussion. I didn't know there were different types of clarinets.
I thought the performance was interesting. I went in not really knowing what to
expect. I didn't that the event was so formal, that the band would be so big, and that it
was such a popular event. The band was dressed in their marine attire and looked very
organized
