Marine band to perform at Furman Park

The Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band, one of 12 Marine Corps fleet bands, will perform at Furman Park on July 8, the second installment in Downey's concerts in the park series. 

The live performance begins at 7 p.m. at Furman Park. 

Stationed in San Diego, the band provides musical support for military units, civilian community relations, recruiting and troop morale and welfare. 

When the band is deployed in support of combat operations, its primary mission is to provide security for the Third Marine Aircraft Wing or any other mission directed by the Commanding General. 

Admission to the concert is free. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs, but umbrellas and pop-up structures are not allowed.
