Marine Band Cancels Concert After Trump’s Anti-DEI Order Sparks Outrage
Following a recent executive order halting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, the U.S. Marine Band was compelled to cancel a scheduled concert showcasing student musicians of color. This cancellation prompted a swift and supportive response from veterans who volunteered their time to mentor the affected students. The planned performance, highlighting the talents of young musicians, was ultimately prevented by the new policy. The veterans’ intervention underscores the community’s commitment to supporting these aspiring artists despite the setback.
