The band is known as "The President's Own" because of a longstanding relationship with the office of the Commander-in-Chief. In 1801, at the invitation of President John Adams, the band played at the White House New Year's Day reception. That same year, Thomas Jefferson asked them to play at his inauguration. The Marine Band has played at every subsequent presidential inauguration.  </p> <p class="p1">The first concert the Marine Band held in Washington was in August 1800, when they played on a spot near the present location of the Lincoln Memorial. In 1809, they played for James Madison's Inaugural Ball, and continued to play for social events at the White House for the Madison administration and beyond.
