Marine band to perform patriotic marches, concert band literature, wind ensemble pieces at Emens show
by Sharon Hernandez
Until 1891, the U.S. Marine Band had played exclusively in Washington, D.C., for events of national importance, presidential events, holidays and White House activities. The band began touring across the country that year under the leadership of its 17th director, John Philip Sousa, and since then (except during the Great Depression and World War II), the band has performed in a fall concert tour (starting in October and ending the first days of November).

"Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" brings the John Hughes' teen comedy/romance into 2008. Like the classic films, "The Breakfast Club" and "Sixteen Candles," awkward teenage love is established during a single wild day, and the characters learn a hell of a lot about themselves along the way with the obligatory indie-rock soundtrack playing throughout the whole ride.
