Euphonium player Arthur W. Lehman served with the U.S. Marine Band from 1947 to 1971. The papers, scrapbooks, recordings, and publications he donated demonstrate the pride he felt in being a part of this organization, the close relationships he developed with fellow members, and his interest in band music.
