    "For The President's Own" - John Williams

    I just stumbled on this video last night. Two of my 'heroes in music' are John Williams, and the Marine Band. This approx 8 minute video is of a rehearsal of the Marine Band with John Williams on his new piece written for the celebration of the 215th anniversary of the "President's Own, Marine Band. There's also a short interview with then director, Col. Michael Colburn. Mr. Williams still writes some great and challenging music.

            Such great musicians at the Marine Band and John Williams is simply amazing. Any more footage of this collaboration?
