Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. - The sound of a single drum echoes across Lance Cpl. Torrey L. Gray field and a Marine Corps drum major raises his ceremonial mace, prompting the 80 members of The U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps to prepare their instruments in unison. The brass glistened in the sunlight as the Combat Center was once again captivated by the talented performance of The Commandant’s own.
