United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps - Uniforms and Instruments

Uniforms and Instruments

The field musicians of the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps wear white gauntlets which cover the wrists and bear and play silver color brass instruments.

The brass played by "The Commandant's Own" are bugles pitched in G. Additionally, their bugles are two-valved models similar to those used by drum corps in the United States and Canada prior to 1990. The D&B's current inventory of brass instrumentation was manufactured by the Kanstul Musical Instruments company in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words uniforms and/or instruments:

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    Sound all the lofty instruments of war,
    And by that music let us all embrace,
    For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
    A second time do such a courtesy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
