Description
Film provides a brief overview of the history of the Marine Corps Band, quartered at the Marine Barracks in Washington, DC. The film includes a shot of Caspar Weinberger as a VIP, suggesting the film was produced in part during the term of President Nixon even though the film closes with a still photo of President Gerald Ford.
