The Equity Arc Wind Symphony brings together talented pre-college musicians from historically underrepresented cultural backgrounds for a tuition-free multi-day training residency with the United States Marine Band (USMB).

This opportunity is open to advanced pre-college wind, brass, percussion, and string bass instrumentalists from historically underrepresented cultural backgrounds. You will need to sign an eligibility statement as part of your application.
