Uniforms and Instruments
The field musicians of the United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps wear white gauntlets which cover the wrists and bear and play silver color brass instruments.
The brass played by "The Commandant's Own" are bugles pitched in G. Additionally, their bugles are two-valved models similar to those used by drum corps in the United States and Canada prior to 1990. The D&B's current inventory of brass instrumentation was manufactured by the Kanstul Musical Instruments company in 2006.
