The performance also earned the band it's first caption award (best music) at a USSBA National Championship show. In addition, the band was awarded the prestigious Esprit de Corps Award given by the Marine Corps to the band best exemplifying the characteristics of pride, professionalism and patriotism. Congratulations to all memebers of the band!!!
