SENT VIA EMAIL TO: INFO @JUDICIALWATCH.ORG MR MICHAEL BEKESHA 425 THIRD ST SW SUITE 800 WASHINGTON DC 20024

Dear Mr. Bekesha: SUBJECT: YOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUEST, FILE NUMBER USMC-HQ 2013F020207 This responds to your January 30, 2013, FOIA request seeking records and recordings in reference to the 2013 Presidential Inauguration ceremony of Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Kelly Clarkson, and James Taylor. Your request was received on January 3 1,2013, and controlled under file number USMC-HQ 2013F020207. We initiated a search of the files maintained by the Marine Band, which identified 172 pages and one music track as responsive to your request. Upon review, we have determined that the documents are releasable and have enclosed a copy with this letter. You will see that some information has been redacted. Specifically, names, telephone numbers, email address, and other personal data have been withheld pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(6), which prohibits disclosure of personal information when an individual' s privacy interest in it outweighs any public interest. In addition, portions of the document that contain pre-decisional advice or recommendations have been withheld pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(5), which protects such information as part of the deliberative process. The purpose for withholding such recommendations is to encourage the free and candid exchange of opinions and advice during the decision-making process. The music track is too large to send via email, so we have made it publicly available on the Headquarters, Marine Corps, FOIA Reading room. The website link is http://www.hqmc.marines.mil/Agencies/USMCFOIA/USMCFOIAFreg uentlyReguestedRecords/ 20 13PresidentiallnaugurationCeremony.aspx. Please be advised that the recorded sound of the Marine Band is in the public domain and as such is provided per the FOIA request. However, the musical selecti ons still may have copyright encumbrances attached to them. It is the requester's responsibility to give all necessary notices, acquire all copyright clearances, and pay all required fees for any use of copyrighted music. Every music title should be researched. We cannot relieve anyone of their responsibility to obtain licenses or permission from the various copyright holders and/or music publishers involved. Neither the Marine Corps nor the Marine Band accepts any responsibility for any use of Marine Band sound other than our own distribution.

5720 ARSF-F2 April 30, 2013 Ms. Knowles-Carter's, Ms. Clarkson' s, and Mr. Taylor's vocals/music do not belong to the Marine Corps. Please note that Mr. Taylor did not require any support from the Marine band, so we do not have any mu sic tracks responsive to your request. For musical recordings by Ms. Knowles-Carter, please send your request directly to Mr. Jordan W. Siev, Esq., ReedS.mith LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022. You may contact Mr. Siev by email: jsiev@ reedsmith.com; office phone: (212) 205-6085; cell phone: (917) 371-6206; or fax: (212) 521-5450. For musical recordings by Ms. Clarkson, please send your request via email to Mr. Jason Halbert (Music Director) at jasonhalbert@mac.com. We have categorized you as an "other requester" for the purpose of assessing FOIA processing fees. As such, you are entitled to two hours of search time and 100 pages of duplication free of charge but are responsible for the payment of any fees beyond that. In this instance, the applicable fees did not exceed your free entitlement so there is no charge for processing this request. Questions concerning this action should be directed to Ms. Barbara Gonzalez of my staff at (57 1) 256-8636 or (703) 6 14-4008, or via email to smb.hgmc.foia@ usmc.mil or fax at (703) 614-6287.

RE: Inaugural Ceremony playback system Friday, June 29, 2012 14:46:00

Sir,
(b)(6)

how I would specify this system:

1. Redundancy: if one playback machine experiences problems, a second should take over with minimal loss of audio. 2. Loads pre-recorded audio from Marine Band editing system. 3. Reproduces up to 24 tracks of pre-recorded audio at minimum 16 bit resolution with 44.1kHz sample rate. 4. Locates to up to 100 cues within 5 seconds 5. Starts playback without perceptible delay from time when playback button is pressed. Audio playback will start in time with the conductor's down beat. 6. Interfaces with sound reinforcement mixer.

-----Original Message----From: (b)(6) Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 10:33 To: (b)(6) Subject: Inaugural Ceremony playback system Sir, As we approach the planning phase for the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Ceremony, I wanted to propose a minor tweak to the technical requirements that will hopefully result in a small improvement in the technical coordination for the ceremony itself. A bit of background first. For previous ceremonies, the Marine Band has been responsible for renting playback equipment for the ceremony. This sometimes results in some coordination challenges when it comes time to interface that

Inaugural Ceremony Music Playback System Monday, October 15, 2012 8:29:00

Good Morning (b)(6) At the Communications meeting last Friday we briefly discussed changing the way that the audio playback system for the inaugural ceremony is procured. Traditionally, this has been a Marine Band responsibility, but based on our experiences in 2005 and 2009, I would like to propose that the specification and provisioning of this equipment become the domain of the audio contractor for the ceremony. This will ensure that the playback system interfaces properly with the rest of the audio system. In addition, this enables us to benefit from the audio contractors knowledge and experience in satisfying this type of requirement. The playback system has two primary functions. First, in cases when Marine Band instruments are frozen and unable to produce sound, the playback system reproduces prerecorded audio. This must be done in sync with the Band itself so that the sound of the band is synchronous with the video of the band. Second, frequently guest performers require backing tracks. These also must be synchronous with the live video of the group. As a result the system must have the following features: 1. Redundancy such that if a playback machine experiences problems, a second takes over with minimal loss of audio. 2. Able to ingest pre-recorded audio from Marine Band editing system. 3. Reproduce 24 tracks of linear PCM digital audio at minimum 16 bit resolution with 44.1kHz sample rate. 4. Locate up to 100 cues within 5 seconds 5. Start playback without perceptible delay from time when playback button is pressed. Audio playback shall start in time with the conductor's down beat. 6. Interface with sound reinforcement mixer. Please let me know if I can provide any additional clarification. Best Regards,
(b)(6) (b)(6)

Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Tuesday, December 04, 2012 14:39:00

Hi (b)(6) We had a brief conference call with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir earlier today to discuss the inaugural ceremony. This quick note is just to make sure that you have all the information I have. Sounds like they're bring a 300 piece choir and a vocal soloist to sing Battle Hymn of the Republic. They'd like to use a backing track for the instrumentals and are leaning towards also having the choir prerecorded, though the soloist will go live. I've asked them to send me 4 stereo stems for playback: backing tracks, choir, vocalist, and effects. That should give us options if the choir decides to go live. They may make that decision as late as their onsite rehearsal on Sunday the 20th between 12 and 3. Best Regards,

RE: Inaugural recordings Wednesday, December 19, 2012 15:38:00

Hi (b)(6) Good to hear from you. I should be OK with just the portable Pro Tools system at my place during rehearsals to load audio and build the project file. I should be able to load those files to HD system on site. I'll bring them on an external drive for that purpose. I don't anticipate needing the 360 Systems IR, though I'm happy to have that loaded and ready if you feel it would be a good idea to have a backup to the backup. As for scheduling, it should be sufficient to have the portable rig to my place by a week out, on January 14th. I'm happy to work around your schedule though if you're going to be loading stuff into the Capitol earlier and wanted to drop it by.

you want/need it. So the question is: Do you need both Pro Tools systems at your studio to record with, or can you use the smaller (more portable) system there, and when you arrive on site, simply dump a copy of your files on to the other system, or attach an external hard drive with the files on it? And when do you need the system to be at your studio? (Once I have the answers to these questions, then I'll ask you for an address and directions to where you want me to bring the system). Also, could you please include a cell phone for you when you reply? Thanks, and I look forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely,

(b)(6)

though the soloist will go live. I've asked them to send me 4 stereo stems for playback: backing tracks, choir, vocalist, and effects. That should give us options if the choir decides to go live.

Hi (b)(6) Our music arranger has been talking with (b)(6) (b)(6) people, who are indicating that their preference would be that (b)(6) sing to click for (b)(6) tune at the PIC. I've indicated that we have tried to avoid that in the past, but in case they really want it, will we have any in-ear monitoring this year that could be fed from a click track on the PT playback systems? Is it even possible given the wireless lockdown during the ceremony? I haven't heard anything else from any of the other artists regarding their preferences, but as always I'll pass along whatever I hear. Best,

We have no problem providing wireless In Eras for headline talent. We would steer backing musicians into using hard line ears. Most pop performers these days prefer In Ears. As far as frequencies, we can get those cleared with the Capitol Police in advance. Keep me posted,

I checked with (b)(6) who's running sound for the (b)(6) about click for (b)(6) (b)(6) From a purely technical perspective, he is able to provide wireless in-ear monitoring for the main soloists. So I'll leave it up to the (b)(6) to determine whether that is something he is comfortable wearing and whether he's comfortable working with a click track at the ceremony. Once I know what he decides, I'll pass that along to (b)(6) V/R

I wanted to include multiple tracks and some fades to make sure those worked. Two of the biggest changes from 9 to 10 involved handling interleaved stereo files and how fades are handled. Should work, but we'll see. Cheers,

Is there any special instrumentation for this that isn't included in the Sousa Band. Please let me know if you think we need to add anyone/anything special to accomplish the recording. Thanks again for the quick turnaround. s/f,

Initially, I had planned to attend the Sousa rehearsal on Thursday - but after listening to the rehearsal recording online, it seems the arrangement of In the Dimness of Twilight is working fine.

Re: Sousa Reh/ (b)(6) Recording Thursday, January 03, 2013 8:51:13

Hi again, It would be prudent to have it ready I would guess. Based on my conversation with (b)(6) music director, (b)(6)(b)(6) (b)(6) I would say there is a 99.9% chance he will be adding click to the recording - and that (b)(6) will be doing extensive practicing with the recording we send (pending its approval.)
(b)(6)(b)(6) (b)(6) The last few measures (in concept now) will be faster, but occur after (b)(6) hits (b)(6) final note. So, the departure from click and harmony in that specific place shouldn't be an issue. I'm hoping it will provide the flourish that the Colonel is requesting.

I hope that helps! Thanks,

For future reference, should the click ever need to be used, it's quarter note = 78 bpm. (b)(6) treatment of the melody has many meter changes, but never any tempo changes. I would imagine for the recording, (b)(6) music director could add the click as long as it stays at 78 bpm.

I understand your concerns and your inquiry does not come across as reluctance or annoyance. I am aware that a conversation between the arranger and I has to happen so the arrangement submissions/ revisions can be made in adequate time. I was waiting to hear back from (b)(6) on a few things to cover all bases before connecting with (b) (6) However as (b)(6) you can imagine, schedule is full of activity and (b)(6)hasn't been able to respond yet. I'm sure (b)(6)will get back to me as soon as (b)(6)can. In the meantime, I'll make sure I call (b) (6) today to connect on whatever we can without (b)(6) for now and we'll proceed as best as possible. The main things will be the key (b)(6)wants to sing in and also the tempo, pace etc. (b)(6)sang it in G maj for a performance (b)(6)did in 2004 which was amazing. However, obviously (b)(6) voice has matured and changed in the past 8+ years and I wanted to be sure we put it in a key that reflects that maturity and that (b)(6)is comfortable with now. Maybe we can just use G maj as the starting point and transpose if necessary after I speak with (b)(6)I just thought it would be easiest to know the Key and any important input (b)(6)had before hand. But as I said, I'll call (b) (6) today and see how far we can get in that conversation. I will also inquire to (b)(6) again today and hopefully hear back on a few things. Thanks!

If we are to have something for (b)(6) review this week, it is critical that a conversation between (b) (6) (our arranger) and someone from (b)(6) team happens today. (b)(6) we are not likely to have something ready until early next week. Please don't mistake our concern for reluctance.

Some descriptive words used were: huge and orchestral, it needs to sound presidential, classic, solid, controlled, and authoritative. He'd like to add a few extra spaces within the phrases - and conceptually they seem to be for rudimental percussion. I should also share that (b)(6)said (b)(6)wants it to top (b)(6) 2004 Super Bowl appearance. He said he would play with it tonight and send some harmonies to consider in parts, but that he would like it to be a collaborative effort - more for me to get an ear on what he's thinking in order to incorporate what I feel is appropriate. He said I should get something from (b)(6)soon. After the arrangement is written, he would like the band to record it. Then he will have one of with our recorded arrangement to make a recording for (b)(6) consideration and feedback. For

performance,

(b) (6)(b) (6)

informed me that

(b)(6)

would like everything to be pre-recorded for use on the day.

Regarding the time table, I told (b)(6)(per our discussion this morning) ideally we'd like to record something for them on Friday, but that will depend how soon he's able to send me (b)(6) harmonies. He said he would have something for me in the morning, but also asked about another possible time to record should it be necessary. I told (b)(6) though I couldn't say for certain, my guess was likely Monday. I'll keep you posted on how this develops during the day, and please feel free to call in the morning for any clarification on any of the above!

Please find pdfs of the three versions of the SSB for tomorrow morning's recordings attached to this email. The accession # is labeled v1, v2, and v3 to designate each version. Version 1 is the exact same thing we recorded on Friday, only lowered a half-step with necessary range adjustments. Version 2 uses the slow intro with melodic changes and incorporates notes from (b) (6) regrading use of SD and fanfare motives in the 2nd statement (to make it sound more militant), additional percussion, and a few other accommodations. Version 3 starts with the in-your-face intro, the remainder of the arrangement will match the version 2 arrangement exactly except for the addition of a triangle roll in the last few bars (because I use it in the intro.) The players will have three separate pieces to read, all in the lowered key of E, and labeled v1, v2, and v3 as well. Lastly, it was my understanding based on my most recent conversation with (b) (6) that he will either choose one these arrangements, or request a combination of the above. (A "frankenstein" arrangement using the existing material.) This "final" version would be used for the official recording, but not recorded to "demo" so to speak.

(b) (6)

If (b)(6) is unavailable to rehearse and record with us until the evening of the 20th, I'm afraid our options for anything other than a synced performance (pre-recorded vocal and instrumental) are very limited. In order to consider the possibility of a live performance, we would have to have an opportunity to rehearse/record with (b)(6) in our facility, followed by an onsite rehearsal at the Capitol. The bare minimum of time required to accomplish this would be three hours (one hour at our facility, one hour travel/setup time, one hour of on-site rehearsal). I can't speak on behalf of the schedulers at the Capitol, but I'm hopeful that one of the people CC'd on this email might be able to let us know if there is any possibility of an evening onsite rehearsal. also asked about the possibility of a sound check on the 21st. Based on my understanding of the schedule, I doubt that would be an option, but again I defer to the folks from (b) (6) . While our preference is still to rehearse/record with (b)(6) if (b)(6) schedule prohibits this I think acceptable results can still be achieved through the synced performance option (b) (6) described. And if the predicted "Arctic front" really rolls in, a synced performance may become inevitable. But before we completely dismiss the possibility of the rehearse/record option, I ask for input from the (b) (6) side of the equation. With warmest regards,
(b) (6) (b) (6)

(b) (6)

Id like to introduce you to (b) (6) . He is the (b) (6) meet (b) (6) , (b)(6) (b)(6) I've briefed a little on where we stand regarding the Inauguration Rehearsal/Soundcheck per (b)(6) schedule and informed (b)(6)that I would be putting (b)(6)in touch with the appropriate authority to handle such things. He's aware that the 19th is not a possibility, and that the 20th, IF possible would have to happen in the evening hours. He is not the primary contact for scheduling however he informed me that he would be putting you in touch with those that handle the rehearsal schedule for this event to see if a late rehearsal is possible. . If (b)(6) is unable to make it to rehearsal on the 20th, or if the evening rehearsal/recording isn't possible, then that locks us in to doing a synced performance as there will be no soundcheck on the 21st to accommodate a live performance. I will be sending (b)(6) the 3 arrangement variations tonight for (b)(6) to decide which one (b)(6)likes the best. We have planned on having either THE FINAL or multiple FINAL Recorded arrangements by Wednesday. I should be able to have it demo'd by that evening. That would mean we should plan the recording for (b)(6) on Thursday so (b)(6)can have Friday, Sat, and Sunday to rehearse and learn the sync. In any case, in order to prep the band, (b) (6) (b) (6) will need to know by Wednesday if (b)(6)will be attending rehearsal/recording on the 20th and recording on site there.

We are so, so happy to be a part of the inauguration! Thank you again for the invitation and for all of your help! I just want to confirm that the below is possible regarding our sound for the ceremony. Due to the nature of live events and the expected frigid weather during the Inauguration, we would ask that both FOH and Broadcast mixers not to use any live miking for the performance of The Battle Hymn of the Republic other than the soloist that will perform with the choir. We have provided the audio coordinators with stems of both the instrumental track as well as the stereo choir mix for use during the performance. As of now, we are planning not to use the soloist and soloist FX stems as (b)(6) will be singing live. Could you please confirm that this will be possible? Many, many thanks!

I will be managing the playback of all tracks at the inaugural ceremony. The pre-recording of the vocal part should be recorded by itself (not mixed with the band recording) to a stereo 24 bit/48kHz WAV file. If there are particular effects to be included, those should be recorded to a separate stereo file. This will enable the broadcast and live sound mixers to balance the separate stems of the band recording, the vocal recording, and any FX recordings as needed during the ceremony. I will ensure that all of those tracks are in sync. You can send me the final vocal tracks in whatever manner is most convenient for you (DropBox, FTP, etc...).

and the Band recorded the final National Anthem version morning. I've put recording on our archives website, where it is available for you to listen and download. I've included both an MP3 version for quick review and a higher resolution WAV version for use in prerecording the vocal track. I will be managing the playback of all tracks at the inaugural ceremony. The pre-recording of the vocal part should be recorded by itself (not mixed with the band recording) to a stereo 24 bit/48kHz WAV file. If there are particular effects to be included, those should be recorded to a separate stereo file. This will enable the broadcast and live sound mixers to balance the separate stems of the band recording, the vocal recording, and any FX recordings as needed during the ceremony. I will ensure that all of those tracks are in sync. You can send me the final vocal tracks in whatever manner is most convenient for you (DropBox, FTP, etc...).

If (b) (6) is successful in getting (b)(6) to record before (b)(6)comes to DC, then (b)(6)will come straight to the Capitol for a (b) (6) soundcheck. I think I should be there for this soundcheck, so would you please look into what will be required to secure my entry.

As I mentioned to both of you, (b) (6) thinks (b)(6) preference is going to be to sing live, but I told (b)(6)that without an opportunity to rehearse, we would not be willing to play live.

Hello All,

Just touching base about tomorrow's rehearsal/recording plans. Obtaining a recording has proven to be a more difficult task than previously anticipated due to scheduling. I am still trying to schedule a recording with (b)(6) tomorrow before the 7pm soundcheck. In the event that doesn't happen, the next plan is to travel to DC and record at your facility as the first stop when we arrive. I've connected with (b) (6) to try and formulate a plan of action. He informed me that an engineer is available to facilitate a 7:00pm recording if necessary. I understand the recording facility is about 5 blocks away from the capitol.

After the recording, we could head over to the capitol to do a soundcheck. Both live and with the pre-record if necessary. We are hoping the Pre-Record only takes about an hour.

Please let me know if there are any unavoidable issues with this plan.

Also please let me know if it will be possible to get recorded files to you later than 7pm in the event the recording elsewhere.

In answer to (b) (6) final question, if they were to do the recording elsewhere, I would need to have the recordings in the sound tent at the Capitol prior to (b)(6) soundcheck. I can load the material fairly quickly assuming that they conform to the specs I laid out to (b) (6) earlier (24bit, 48kHz WAV). They would need to bring them to me on a USB or Firewire 400 hard drive or thumb drive. V/R

I'm sure you were hoping for a more substantial change, but at this point I'm afraid there's not much more I can do regarding the Washingtonian. Perhaps you'll have better luck if you contact (b) (6) yourself. I crafted the following response that the USMC Division of Public Affairs has issued, and which seems to be helping to tamp this down.
(b)(6) (b)(6) The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC)requested that the Marine Band accompany (b)(6) in the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner at the 2013 Inaugural Ceremony. Each piece of music scheduled for performance in the Inauguration is pre-recorded for use in case of freezing temperatures, equipment failure, or (b)(6) extenuating circumstances. Because there was no opportunity for (b)(6) (b)(6) to rehearse with the Marine Band before the Inauguration, it was determined that a live performance by the band would be too risky, especially for (b)(6) such a high-profile event. No one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether (b)(6) (b)(6) vocal performance was live or pre-recorded.

Please feel free to give me a call about this tomorrow. I suspect we'll be focusing most of our day on ongoing damage control. With warmest regards,

I've just taken a quick look through the emails and think we'll be fine even if we have to turn them over.

is the response from the Director of the Marine Band -

The version of the National Anthem presented on Monday was an arrangement specifically written for (b)(6)(b)(6) (b)(6) (b)(6) (b)(6) by a Marine Band staff arranger in the key and musical style (b)(6) requested. It is considerably more complex than the standard setting of the National Anthem regularly performed by the Marine Band and therefore required at least one rehearsal with the soloist before a performance with live accompaniment at such a high profile event.

I have a nephew who is currently in the USMC, as (b)(6) in-law, was before (b)(6) and were rightfully proud. Now, I ask you forgive me for any navet my question might show, as I have seldom written about military matters.

I understand The Presidents Own did not rehearse with (b)(6) beforehand, and that rehearsals are important. However, the band must play the national anthem very frequently and know it inside and out. The prerecorded version (b)(6) sang to was presumably identical to what the band plays every day. Therefore, its unclear what would have been different between that and a live band rendition.
