CMC Surprise Serenade
On Jan. 1, 2020, at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., the Marine Band performed the "Surprise Serenade" for the 38th Commandant of the Marine Corps General David H. Berger. A tradition that dates back to the mid-1800s, the ensemble performed The Marines’ Hymn, “Bless this House,” and “Semper Fidelis.” Following the serenade, the band was invited into the Home of the Commandants for a tour.
