I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

2. MCMMUS_100612_34.JPG: The President's Own: "The Marine Band is eminently the national band of the country." -- Washington newspaper report, 1873 Established by Congress in 1798, the Marine Band received the title "The President's Own" from newly inaugurated Thomas Jefferson in 1801, leading to more than two centuries of stirring White House performances. At first, the Corps recruited musicians from Italy, then accepted boys as young as 12 as apprentices. Under the inspired direction of John Philip Sousa from 1880 to 1892, the Band blossomed into one of the most recognizable and beloved of American ensembles. Millions of Americans head the Band every year and thrill to "Hail to the Chief" played by Marines immediately after the swearing-in ceremony at each presidential inauguration. Parades and Concerts: "A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, a flash of color beneath the sky. Hats off! The flag is marching by!" -- Henry Holcomb Bennett, The Flag Goes By, circa 1900 The Marine Band's mission is to provide music for the President and the Commandant. During the mid-1800s, Commandant Archibald Henderson began the tradition of opening the Marine Barracks in Washington DC (the Corps' oldest post), to the public for Sunday concerts. The tradition continues at evening parades where the Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, and Silent Drill Platoon electrify onlookers. They have become a universal symbol of the competence, discipline, and spirit of the Corps.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
