Auditions
Marine Band auditions occur only in anticipation of projected vacancies. They are announced in The International Musician and by direct mailings to college band directors and instrumental music instructors. All auditions take place in John Philip Sousa Band Hall at Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C., and are conducted much like those of major symphony orchestras. There is no taped round for Marine Band auditions.
Interested applicants should send a letter of inquiry with a current resume to Operations Officer, U.S. Marine Band, Marine Barracks, 8th and I Streets, SE, Washington, DC 20390-5000, or fax this information to (202) 433-4752. Applicants must travel to Washington, D.C., at their own expense.
