The prestigious United States Marine Band, known as “The President’s Own” for performing for every U.S. President since John Adams, will give a free concert on Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in State College Area High School’s Performing Arts Center.
Founded in 1798, the Marine Band is America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization. Its primary mission is to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
The State College concert is part of the 2022 U.S. Marine Band Concert Tour to the Northeast. 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.
