RE: [hornlist] Inauguration picture
[quote] True, they don't go through the training, but an article in the Washington Post a few years ago pointed out that many take leave and go through training, thereby earning their rifles honestly. At the time of the article, the NCO bandmaster was preparing for his second tour of Iraq. They are Marines. They just take a slightly different path than most. [/quote] - The Washington Post was wrong. The President's Own and all assigned to it are non deployable. End of story. The only Fleet Marines that are there are some few that have duties such as loading crew and public affairs and a couple of other things. These Marines rotate in and out of that duty station like all Marines but are not musicians. There would be a senior NCO of that group but he would not be a Bandmaster. The senior NCO of the President's Own would be the Drum Major who is non-deployable. Any normal Marine that wins a playing position with the PO then becomes non-deployable as well. The term Bandmaster refers to the Fleet Marine Forces 12 field bands and by definition is the NCOIC and senior enlisted member of a given band. These Bandmasters would indeed deploy if their band deployed. A Bandmaster might or might not also have been a Drum Major. Perhaps the news article was confusing the PO with a Field Band or the School of Music there at Little Creek. The musicians of the President's Own do not go to Recruit Training and cannot detach to go do so. They do go through an orientation/crash course in Marine Corps protocol etc. I would wager that most of them won't in their career learn enough to "speak Marine." You former Jarheads out there will know what I mean! It is the Drum Major's job to teach them how to march and carry their instruments and push the paperwork and Traditionally the head Drum Major has been a Fleet Marine and that person might very well have deployed in the past prior to accepting a posting to the President's Own. Col. Foley succeeded in setting a precedent for promoting a non-fleet Marine as DM but that didn't last long and the normal tradition resumed with Thomas Kohl. Ironically, the current assistant DM was one of my Marines from San Diego. He deployed overseas to Iraq (several times possibly) prior to his winning a posting to 8th & I. Browne, the senior DM, was also a Fleet Marine prior to joining the PO. I have no idea whether he served in a combat area or not but he did get posted with the very excellent NATO band in Europe.

[Hornlist] No time for a cold?
I hate being sick worst than anything. Nothing worse than a stuffed nose, sore throat, plugged ears when I need to be in top form for a concert. Over the years, I've spent a lot of time & money looking for effective remedies for common ailments. I stumbled upon an inexpensive & effective home remedy for colds that one can buy at their local health food or supplement store or on line. This remedy has kept me, my husband, my family members and everyone else I know who has tried it from getting sick from colds & flu. At the first eensy-weensiest sign of a cold or flu (sore throat, sneezing, body aches, etc.) I put 30 drops of LifeTIME OO/OLE and one Air Borne tablet in 6 ounces of water. I drink quickly through a straw (it's nasty). I take this two or three times a day for three or four days or until all symptoms disappear. After I started using this, I found myself getting well so quickly I thought perhaps I really didn't get a cold; maybe my symptoms were just a "false alarm" and I wasted money on yet another phony product. But, as I used this combo over time, I realized it works because I haven't been sick from colds or flu for 2 years. (I used to get very ill from colds & flu several times a year.) LifeTIME OO/OLE is Oregano Oil and Olive Leaf Extract. It's a liquid herbal "food supplement" sold in a dropper bottle in the natural foods section of Fred Meyer, health food and supplement stores and on line. It costs $25 a bottle which seems like a lot, but one bottle lasts about a year depending on how often my family and I use it. Airborne or any of the similar copy-cat products are available everywhere. These products are more expensive to use, so I look for the store brand generics which work just as well for me. Before I found OO/OLE, I used the Airborne type supplements alone & it helped reduce the severity of my colds, but I still got sick for several days. When I started using the OO/OLE with the Airborne about 2 years ago, I stopped getting sick with colds and flu. (Knock on wood!!) I don't know if this will work for you. You'll have to take a risk and try it for yourself. Valerie in Tacoma PS, you can Google & research the ingredients of OO/OLE. Both these natural substances are believed to be potent broad spectrum antibiotics that are effective against viruses, bacteria and fungi such as candida. I haven't experienced any side effects from their use, but I'm careful to use them only when I need them. Make order out of chaos with a new filing cabinet.

[Hornlist] In-Dog-uration
While you guys are concerned with Inauguration pictures, on the Klarinet List they are more focused on how the Presidential In-Dog-uration turns out: when they pick the Presidential Puppy. That's when we will all get to see what species, gender and color the First Dog will be, and if the charming First Daughters will be able to tolerate it, in spite of a history of Allergy problems. Besides, I've had a few dealings with the "White House Marine Band", also known as the "President's Own", and have found them musically wanting. Whereas they are more than competent to play Sousa oom-pah Marches and Johann Strauss Waltzes, when it comes to music written with a bit more intellect and Harmony Invented After the US Civil War, they fail miserably! Don't expect them to play Bartók, Stravinsky or any of the More Modern Classical Composers' music for you.

Re: [hornlist]Inauguration picture
Two of them are officers (and hence next to useless) and the other two judging by the uniforms are likely musicians that were not slated to play. None of them are part of the loading crew or Public Affairs Office. I am sure they hitched a ride to see the inauguration. There are far more musicians in the President's Own than would be utilized in any one given band or chamber orchestra. The President's Own is not considered part of the regular Marine Corps. Officially it is a component of the Marine Corps Reserve but for paper pusher purposes only. The only way a regular Fleet Marine bandsman gets to that particular band is by the same audition everyone else takes. The lackey jobs like loading crew and public affairs tend to be regular Marines assigned to the 8th & I Marine Barracks. Musicians of the Marine Band do NOT get the honor of wearing the crossed rifles insignia of the Fleet Marine Forces as they have not been through Recruit Training and are not in fact Riflemen First. Sadly, Fleet Marines are forced to give up their normal insignia upon acceptance to the President's Own. A trade off not readily understood by non Marines. The Jack Attack!
