There are ten U.S. Marine Corps Fleet Bands in addition to the U.S. Marine Band and the U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps. Fleet Marine Force musicians are trained combat warriors, who have marched with commands since the inception of the Corps. Marine Corps Bands perform at ceremonies, parades, festivals, professional sporting events, concerts, and other public events across the United States and around the world. Marine Corps bands entertain and educate their audiences; inspire patriotism and represent American values through music; and represent the discipline and professionalism of the Marine Corps itself.
