The Marine Corps prides itself on being the best they can be. That motto also applies to the President’s Own. They are some of the best musicians in the country, with extensive advanced training and degrees in their field.
Requiring rigorous physical training standards means you are not going to get the best musicians. They will join other musical ensembles and are good enough to qualify.
The musicians in President’s Own are second to NO other musicians in the U.S. military.
Beyonce put them in a bad light by insisting that they use their pre-recorded track.
Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor went live and all the rest of the band music was played live.
As was the band music they played in the parade.
As was the band music they played at the Commandant’s Ball that evening.
The band was on duty from roughly 4 AM to 11 PM yesterday.
bttt
Beyonce only proved herself as a no talent grubber.
