Lakeside Jazz Festival 2009 

For the first time in the history of the Marine Corps Music Program, the Corps’ most talented Jazz musicians came together last week for a series of special performances. An audition-based selection process determined which members of the Marine Corps’ 12 field bands would make the cut to be a part of the “All-Star Jazz Ensemble.” The 18 Marines selected for the gig assembled at Parris Island on Easter and boarded a tour bus that took them to performances in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, culminating at the Lakeside Jazz Festival in Daytona, Fla.
