Surprise Serenade
On Jan. 1, 2015, at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., the U.S. Marine Band performed the annual New Year’s Day “Surprise Serenade” for the 36th Commandant of the Marine Corps General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr., a tradition that dates back to the mid-1800s. Conducted by Director Lt. Col. Jason K. Fettig, the ensemble performed The Marines’ Hymn, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Bless this House”, and “Semper Fidelis.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt. Amanda Simmons/released)
