It’s become one of my favorite, annual Christmastime traditions — seeing the President’s Own Marine Corps Band perform live at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
The Marine Corps Band will perform at 7:30 p.m on Saturday, Dec. 14 inside the museum’s Leatherneck Gallery, as it does every year. The concert is free to attend, but the band always packs the house, so you’ll want to arrive early to get a good seat.
- And this year, we’ll be singing along with the band as they perform songs like “Jingle Bells,” “Joy to the World, and “Frosty the Snowman.” This is in addition to playing samplings of the band’s full repertoire that includes other holiday favorites.
- Last year, they played music by film composer John Williams, to include the theme from “Home Alone,” one of my all-time favorite holiday medleys.
The National Museum of the Marine Corps is located at Quantico, at 18900 Jefferson Davis Highway in Triangle.
- The band will also play another holiday show this season prior to its performance at the Marine Corps museum, at 4 p.m. Dec. 7, at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts.
See you at the show.
