Unless you get invited to a state dinner at the White House, this may be your only chance to see the world's most famous military band in person.

The U.S. Marine Band, America’s oldest continuously active professional musical organization, will be performing a free concert in the Hudson Valley. But if you want to go, you'll have to reserve your spot now.

Serving as the president's personal "house band," The U.S. Marine musicians' mission is to provide music for the President of the United States and the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Whenever there's an important event at the White House, the U.S. Marine Band is there.

The historic band has performed at every Presidential Inauguration since 1801, marching in the parade and providing music during the swearing-in ceremony. The ensemble also plays during state funerals, days of remembrance and White House celebrations such as the Christmas tree lighting, Easter egg roll, state arrivals and more.

The Hudson Valley will be treated to a free performance from the U.S. Marine Band on Sunday, October 9 at John Jay High School in Hopewell Junction. While tickets are free, they must be reserved ahead of time. Those tickets officially became available at Midnight on September 9 and are being limited to four per person. Once they're gone, they're gone.

TLC show 'American Chopper' Orange County Choppers Headquarters in Newburgh Abandoned & For Sale

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you enter this property. By doing so you risk bodily harm and/or prosecution for trespassing on private property.
In 2003, a father-son business reality show hit the Discovery Channel. It was called American Chopper and it followed the custom motorcycle building business of the Teutul family out of Newburgh, NY. Paul Sr. owned the shop with sons Paul Jr and Mikey working in the business. There was a slew of cast and characters. The center of the show wasn't just the amazing custom motorcycles built for celebrities and others, it was the volatile relationship between Sr. and Jr. The show ran for 12 seasons before the two could no longer get along. It ended up in lawsuits and the two not talking for ten plus years. In the past few years, the business moved to Florida. This left the 61,000-square-foot headquarters for sale and abandoned. Take a look at what remains of Ocean County Choppers.
