Marine band starts summer concert series


The band played on last night in Triangle as the National Marine Corps Museum kicked off what it hopes will become an summertime tradition.

Members of the National Marine Corps Band played for area residents who pitched lawn chairs in Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, outside the museum. The two-hour free concert began at 7 p.m., and in addition to the music it was a chance for those who attended to have a picnic on the lawn where sandwiches, drinks and ice cream were sold.

Additional performances are scheduled for July 8, August 5 and 19. The museum will stay open on concert days until 7 p.m.

The museum sits off U.S. 1 in Triangle and is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. seven days a week. It’s closed Christmas Day.
