In 1921 , the 06:04.410 --> 06:06.209 Second Advanced Base Band was 06:06.209 --> 06:08.153 officially formed . In those early 06:08.153 --> 06:10.089 years , the band marched in local 06:10.089 --> 06:12.200 parades and played weekly concerts at 06:12.200 --> 06:14.256 the Oregon Pavilion in Balboa Park , 06:14.440 --> 06:16.440 which is a tradition that continues 06:16.440 --> 06:18.440 today as the band still performs on 06:18.440 --> 06:21.529 that very same stage . In 1948 , the 06:21.529 --> 06:24.149 band adopted its current title , Marine 06:24.149 --> 06:27.279 Band San Diego .

Major General 11:08.549 --> 11:10.716 William Biddle sought to change this , 11:10.716 --> 11:12.549 and in 1911 , he established the 11:12.549 --> 11:14.890 Corps's first formal training schools , 11:15.440 --> 11:18.109 one in Parris Island , South Carolina 11:18.320 --> 11:21.169 and one in Mare Island , California . 11:21.750 --> 11:24.750 By 1923 , West Coast recruit training 11:24.750 --> 11:27.070 was moved here , where it has remained 11:27.070 --> 11:30.650 ever since .
