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.

2010 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs until the third one broke and I started sending them back for repairs. Then I used either the Fuji S200EHX or the Nikon D90 until I got the S100fs ones repaired. At the end of the year I bought a Nikon D5000 but I returned it pretty quickly. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Lexington, KY and Nashville, TN), and my 5th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). My office at the main Commerce Department building closed in October and I was shifted out to the Bureau of the Census in Suitland Maryland. It's good to have a job of course but that killed being able to see basically any cultural events during the day. There's basically nothing of interest that you can see around the Census building. Number of photos taken this year: about 395,000..
