Why would there be a need for a 215th anniversary concert anyway? Maybe 225.

The US Marine Corps treats November 10, 1775, as its birthday, but after the Revolutionary War it was disbanded and not re-established until July 11, 1798, at the time of the so-called Quasi-War with France. So this July would be 215 years from that date.

There's no need it's only tradition...
