🇺🇸 Kia ora! 🇳🇿 Last month, the Marines of the Marine Corps Forces Pacific (MarForPac) Band held public concerts and participated in ceremonies in New Zealand in commemoration of Anzac Day. The Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was formed as part of a larger expeditionary force to execute strategic amphibious landings on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey during the First World War. By the end of their 8-month campaign at Gallipoli, the ANZAC would suffer over 34,700 casualties. The first day of the campaign, 25 April, would soon become a national holiday in Australia and New Zealand. Anzac Day remains as one of the most significant national occasions in Australia and New Zealand with commemoration ceremonies being held every year in Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States as well as Australia and New Zealand. The MarForPac Band supported dawn service ceremonies in Paraparaumu and performed for active and former New Zealand Defense Force service members. @usembassynz @usmarinemusicprogram @pacificmarines @pukeahu @oldstpaulsnz #usmc #marinemusic #marinemusician #pacificmarines #marforpacband #marineband #marines #kiaora #newzealand #wellington #anzacday #lestweforget #anzac

Congratulations are in order! The 1st Marine Division Band celebrates the promotion of #piano instrumentalist Gunnery Sergeant Kevin Ashley to his current rank. This incredible leader is not only a master of his instrument, but also a master of his craft as a Marine. His passion, dedication, and energy have inspired countless Marines to be their best selves. GySgt Kevin Ashley embodies the very spirit of our Corps. He's a mentor, a role model, and a true leader who sets the tone for excellence and teamwork. In the Marine Corps, Gunnery Sergeants play a crucial role as advisors, providing guidance and expertise to junior Marines and officers alike and always ensuring that our core values of honor, courage, and commitment are upheld every step of the way. We're honored to have him as part of our team and can't wait to see what the future holds for him. Semper Fidelis, Gunny!

🇺🇸 Talofa! 🇦🇸 The American flag was first raised over what we call today American Samoa on 17 April 1900. Ever since, the people of American Samoa have celebrated this day as Flag Day, commemorating their association with the United States and strong cultural heritage as Samoans. From 12 to 17 April, the Marine Corps Forces Pacific (MarForPac) Band conducted several performances in the days leading up to and on Flag Day including school performances, a parade and state dinner, and the main Flag Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Pago Pago. The MarForPac Band has participated in Flag Day for over a decade, providing the musical and patriotic backdrop for what many American Samoans consider to be the most important day of the year. @pcsas_marines @pearlcitymarines @usmarinemusicprogram @pacificmarines #flagday #americansamoa #samoa #talofa #usmc #marinemusic #marinemusician #pacificmarines #marforpacband #marineband #marines

In the Snow of Far-off Northern Lands Marines with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Band participated in Exercise Nordic Response 2024. Exercise Nordic Response, formerly known as Cold Response, is a NATO training event conducted every two years to promote military competency in arctic environments and to foster interoperability between the U.S. Marine Corps and allied nations. Our Marines provided security for Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 and completed the Cold-Weather Training Course, including an Ice-Breaker Drill where Marines were trained to survive ice fracturing underfoot while traversing frozen bodies of water. @2nd_maw @iimefmarines @nato @usmcfea Are you interested in serving as one of “the few, the proud” and making music your mission?

📚Educators Workshop📚 Last week educators from 8th Marine Corps District @8thmarinecorpsdistrict visited Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego @mcrdsd to observe recruit training and gain a better understanding about the transformation from recruits to United States Marines. During this time I met an awesome music educator from Salt Lake City named Cj @cj_drisdom . One of the days I was able to show him @marinebandsandiego facilities while learning about the in and outs of a Fleet Marine Band. Cj observed rehearsals , learned about the Marines daily schedule, and he saw the band perform at the graduation on Friday. Are you interested in attending the workshop? Do you have an educator, counselor or administrator that wants to spend some time in San Diego learning about the Marines☀️? We have many spots to fill these next coming months. DM to learn about the opportunity. Other highlights from the week: - Attending one of my fellow Musician Placement Director’s promotions, congratulations Master Sergeant Santiago @12mcdmarinemusic - Visiting all the Marine bands on the west coast @1mardivband @3rdmawband @marinebandsandiego - Sharing the opportunity of being a Marine Musician with the students from @echspepband while they were receiving master classes from @1mardivband . - Seeing a lot of my friends from the Marines, to include my peers, former students, and my mentors. - Performing with my friend @kevin.ashley_ jazz combo. - Meeting the official mascot for @mcrdsd , PFC Bruno 🐶 #music #education #marines #marinemusic #marinemusician #utah #arizona #newmexico #texas #colorado #nevada #idaho #wyoming
