ABOUT THE BAND

The Parris Island Marine Band, with fifty enlisted instrumentalists and one band officer, performs hundreds of commitments each year in every idiom imaginable. The different groups within the band consist of a concert band, marching/ceremonial band, stage band, brass quintet, and a jazz combo. The Parris Island Marine Band’s primary mission is to provide musical support for the Recruit Training Regiment as well as events in the Beaufort area. In addition to playing at more than 40 recruit graduations each year, the band also performs numerous concerts and parades all across the United States, to include performances in Minnesota, Kentucky, Florida, New York, Georgia, Massachusetts, and South Carolina.

The culmination of military pride and efficiency along with precise musical expertise has set the United States Marine Field Bands apart from any other military unit. The Parris Island Marine Band is dedicated to upholding and displaying the very same high standards and traditions established by the United States Marine Corps.

Performance sponsored by The Italian Club of Bridgeport.
