Equity Arc's collaboration with the United States Marine Band to promote diversity and inclusion in music faced challenges due to a federal executive order banning DEI initiatives. Despite the cancellation of the concert originally scheduled for May 4th, Marine Band veterans resurrected the event by stepping in during a makeup concert. The initiative aimed to showcase young musicians of color and foster music education, highlighting the need for diversity in orchestras, which remain predominantly White. This situation illustrates resilience and commitment to inclusion in the arts community.
