    The little doohickey in the center is a music lyre.
    The Marine Band is the only unit in the Corps that has it

    I didn't know what it was? Now, I know it is a doohickey music lyre. Thanks Brett!

    Hey Brettw, I got to play with The Marine Band during President Reagan's inauguration. I was a high school trumpeter at the time. Would you have been there?
    I had played with some well respected orchestras by that time and I remember that I was amazed by The Marine Band's impeccable timing and attention to details in their music. I have never heard any better musicians.
