Each base has their own band - here's a picture of the band that played when Shane's company came home in March:



Even the bases in Iraq have bands (the 1st MARDIV band deployed along other Camp Pendleton units), although the musicians are also pulling guard duty and fighting along side other Marines. The asst. drum major for the band assigned to the President was a heavy machine gun operator when he was deployed to Iraq.

The band music is wonderful - I've downloaded it before and transferred it to my cell phone and now when Shane calls, he has his own special ring tone - The Marine Corps Hymn. When my Marine mom friends call, it plays Semper Fidelis, and when anyone else calls, it plays The Washington Post. I love my cell phone.

And here's a story with pictures about the 2nd MAW band, currently deployed:
