USMC Marine Corps Silent Drill Team 2007

[jommyu]

YOUR BEAUTIFUL!

[poofdude]

why is the name of the video USMC marine crops silent drill when its mostly the band playing.............

[imanoob4]

i like their red hummer

[gksk8monk]

If those are Marines why aren't they wearing dress bues?

[barz19]

FUCKIN AWESOME!

[mpmcd81]

I just wish all American kids got to see this. This is a perfect example of people who are mentally, physically, musically, and morally fit doing things that require tremendous discipline.

What a great example of what kids in this country should aspire to be like!

[EliFear]

That was at my high school. Damn, greatest moment of my life.

[tjenkins83]

Next year, I'm going to be leading a drill demonstration at the middle school where I work with a bunch of at-risk kids for our Veterans Day program. I plan on showing this to them as an example of what is possible when you work together. Can there be a better example of precision and teamwork? I don't think so.

Wish me and the kids luck.

It's been a while since I've done done drill manuevers.

[bergis81]

Good luck!

[glennwhite]

Good luck mate and well done to you for giving these kid's a second chance in life (its not something that we are all given or are blessed with !)

[TheShadowfox]

@tjenkins83  luck then and now

[OreoExtremist]

I wish you luck!

[fam145]

JAMES BLUNT

[blazefox2]

[imanoob4]

[RattlingMurdock]

[kitt2592]

That was just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Now I just have to figure out how to incorporate it into my team's competition routine.

[jommyu]

are they playin your beautiful by james blunt?

[silentdrillteam]

yes they are.

[hac522]

haha

[NSResponder]

A USMC band in red coats? Something seems a bit off, historically speaking.

-jcr

[silentdrillteam]

The USMC Drum and Bugle Corps wear red dress uniforms.

[sargentcorpral]

i have seen them and the silent drill they are amazing

[linkyg9575]

you want precision? here it is... HOORAH! Semper Fidelis!

[Altiar24]

sorry its oorah its a big difference

[tnhdz]

THIS is why i wasnt to join the Marines

is just so

WOW, i can't even express it in words.

[wardogs02]

thats the hard corp the marine corp

[musicman387]

man i wish my high school band could play that good and march that good.their playing and marching are seamless

[alreshied]

My brother was at 8th and I in the mid 80's. We were blessed to be able to go and see the friday night parade. I will never forget it. It is just amazing. You don't realize what work it is just watching, but my brother was exhausted afterwards, and he was a trophy winning wightlifter at the time. The end was the most touching point, when the lone Marine played TAPS. My brother also got to meet Pres. Reagan and Premier Gorbechov, buried Lee Marvin, and saw many dignitaries. Amazing

[optimusprime341]

This is amazing, My uncle was once a Marine, and I never understood the discipline until now. Again, this is gorgeous.

The few, the proud, the MARINES

[levey24]

no no no

not "once a Marine"

ur uncle is still a marine...

once a marine always a marine

[peterpieqt8]

totally true!

[Suppressingfire]

USMC God bless u all, the few the proud...

[rrac]

is that a James Blunt song?

[silentdrillteam]

Yes, beautiful, by James Blunt. Thanks for your comment.

[marinefrazier]

I can't wait to see them.

[jerokin]

That was cool! I would probably drop the gun. Nice job! 2 thumbs up!

[johnnybullard]

WONDERFULL

[1970cutlassS]

ridiculously awesome!

[DjScrewLivesOn]

they rn't relly a team there a Platoon, but they act as a team as do all marines.

[silentdrillteam]

Correct. They are the Silent Drill Platoon, but folks search using team so more people get to see them. Thanks for the comment.

[texasmarinemom]

This would have been much better had there not been so many interruptions in the video.

Regardless, watching the Silent Drill and Band can't help but make you feel proud to be an American! The pride I have in my son and his Corps brothers is immeasurable. God Bless the Marine Corps! Semper Fi!

[silentdrillteam]

yes, I know.. You can watch the 2008 version. No Interruptions.

[maddog4u31757]

[maddog4u31757]

You are so right. I want to be in the USMC Band but I hate it so much in highschool. I'm top in our district with a score of 94. Highest in the state of Georgia. I graduate this year and am going to the Marines. I sign my official papers in 15 days. Nervous hehe

[silentdrillteam]

ooh Rah, future Marine.

[maddog4u31757]

[ChrisJH35]

[silentdrillteam]

Yes they are.

[DjScrewLivesOn]

Yes

[tom93wood]

[petermccaslin]

I had the honor of driving the Drill team and the Presidents band on west coast tours to parades and special events back in the early 80's. I recommend you attend a live showing if you ever can. These guys are awesome! Semper Fi!

[PrimeTX]

As a non-military man I can only watch in amazement. It seems to me you can see the embodiment of every value dear to the Marines in that display. Courage, honor, dedication. I am humbled and awed.

[wideone23]

If it hasn't been mentioned already, The beginning of that vid features the Commandant's Own, USMC Drum & Bugle Corps. Proud to say that my brother played with them for four years. Together the CO and the SIlent Drill Platoon put on one hell of a show.

Semper Fi Marines!

British Forces here, wishing my American Brothers well.

[Camouflage222]

Wish you guys well on all your tours as well

[jilly44822]

Amazing...flawless...perfect.

[danielsemperfi]

They are known as "the presidents own" not the "commandants own"

[silentdrillteam]

Actually you are not correct, the United States Marine Marine Band is known as "The Presidents Own"

"The United States Marine Drum and Bugle Corps" is correctly referred to as "The Commandant's Own"...

Thanks for the comment. Semper Fi!

[Pikachu24]

Saw them at DCI 2007 @ The Rose Bowl

Man their tooo perfect especially their marching block

Gawd man glad to have seen them live

The Drum and Bugle Corps not the Silent Drill Team

[Charlieboy19424]

Hey!

That was at my School, I was there for JROTC.

It was SWEET live!

Ooorah!

[Cannook]

Very nice : Can you tell me are you invited to Royal Nova Scotia International Tatto ? July 1st. / 8th. Sure hope so . Diane , Canada

[silentdrillteam]

Not sure. I believe that week they are in Washington DC.

[j24than]

[silentdrillteam]

If you are here in Nevada, There is a 44 Minute DVD available, you can go to my profile by clicking on my username, and you will see a link to the website on the left side in light blue.

[punk1rock2not3fob]

The Silent Drill Platoon are amazing! Its hard work to do all the rifle stuff they do,But they make it look so easy!

[j24than]

nice sounds!!the philppine drum and bugle corps.are proud of you guys.!!godbless all marine corps.!!

[bbaritone]

Do you know where can I get the whole version of 'Your Beautiful' which the corps played.. Awesome vid by the way!

[silentdrillteam]

Hi,

There is a 44 Minute DVD available, you can go to my profile by clicking on my username, and you will see a link to the website on the left side in light blue.

[bcj460]

I'm sorry, but this isn't the Silent Drill Team, this is the Commandants Own! Still an exellent preformance, though.

[silentdrillteam]

Keep watching, It's over 5 minutes long. The Drum and Bugle Corps, "The Commandant's Own", is one part of the Battle Color ceremony. They perform first. The Silent Drill Platoon excerpts start at 2:41 into the video, sometimes the best is worth waiting for. Thanks for your comment.

[BudMarine]

Regarding this clip with the drum line featured in the begining, can you tell me what it is from? Is there a CD or DVD available with this clip included? I have seen a lot of " 8th & I " videos and none have this clip of the Drum Corps in it. When and where was it taken?

Semper Fi

[silentdrillteam]

I thought it was important to include as the Battle Color Ceremony is not just the Silent Drill Platoon, but includes the Drum and Bugle Corps as well.

There is a 44 Minute DVD available, you can go to my profile by clicking on my username, and you will see a link to the website on the left side in light blue.

[BudMarine]

Thanks, I went to the suggested site and it appears to have the same pic's on the album as the clip I mentioned. I placed the order and will write a review after I see it. This will be from my point of view as a former member ot the Drum Corps.

Semper Fi

[silentdrillteam]

Thanks, I look forward to the review. And thanks for serving. Semper Fi marine!

[BudMarine]

I played in the 8th & I Drum Corps back in 1959 to 1961. We were good but these guys are really good. We had single valve bugles, snare, tenor, and bass drums. That was it but we were from the old school drum corps from the late 1940's & the 1950's. Still love listening to them. Semper Fi.

[silentdrillteam]

Semper Fi! Marine. That's more great history, and I appreciate the comments.

[RadioForever]

Ques? Back in your day, did they have the School of Music in Little Creek, VA? How did they choose musicians, through auditions?

Thanks for replying.

[BudMarine]

In 1955 when I was in boot camp, (Parris Island), we filled out a history paper as to what we did as civilians. I happen to play in a drum & bugle corps and that was picked up by the school. By the way, the "Field Music School" was also in Parris Island and i attened it for three months. After my tour in Okinawa I was sent to 8th & I in Wash Dc. I never heard of the school in VA.

[kitepilot]

I went there in 86 it is on the LFTC atlantic base. It is where all branches went. I don't know if it has changed. I was disappointed how weak the program of education was then. I ended up not enjoying playing anymore. I had fun going to the beach to drink and chase girls though.

[evilrob]

The school they're referring to is the Armed Forces School of Music, a joint musician school. Although, now you have to audition prior to boot. I auditioned in Quantico, before I could even be considered to get into the band. You are from the days where we did things a lot different though. Oorah gyrene.

[silentdrillteam]

Thanks for the Comment, but this has nothing to do with Texas A&M or High School Bands. Totally Irrelevant. The Silent Drill Platoon's silent designation refers to the "No Verbal Commands Given", during the Silent Drill Platoon portion of the Battle Color Ceremony. And the Correct name is Drum and Bugle Corps, they are not a Band.

[kitepilot]

It is the commandant's own not the presidents own. I a soloist in the Marine D&B in 87. The presidents own does not go to bootcamp and they have woodwind instruments, the commandants own is just drums and brass. T. Tucker, Cpl. USMC 85-89

[silentdrillteam]

Semper Fi! Marine. I also corrected someone earlier about the difference between the president's Own and The Commandant's Own. I wrote an article over at ezinearticles which also covers this. Thanks for serving, Marine. Joe USMC(1983-1989)

[LinemanDan]

That first song was James Blunt!

[silentdrillteam]

Yep, Beautiful is the Song by James Blunt. He also served as an Officer in the British Army, serving at Buckingham Palace as well as Kosovo. Interesting bio on that guy. Good Song too.

[limurukenya]

arnt they supposed to be silent... jk

[silentdrillteam]

hehe... The Silent refers to no Verbal Command given during their routine.

[limurukenya]

aah... now i understand

[Tejano44]

They bring the excellence out of young men forward . Semper Fidelis . Sinton , Texas .

[hondurascatracho]

i like that song!!!

[sumguya242]

having marched in dci drum corps for several years....i'm not sure the pres own would make the top 12 based on this performance. quite a shame since it is their job. less heart goes into it i am sure, understandable....especially considering the president. the silent portion of the drill is impressive.

[silentdrillteam]

Hi,

Thanks for the comment, but this Video does not contain the President's Own, that term is reserved for The Marine Corps Band. Your Mistake.

Anyway, this is the Drum and Bugle Corps, The Silent Drill Platoon, and Color Guard. These Marines go through Boot Camp. :-) As for your less heart going into it, actaully you wouldn't know that either. Their Marine Officer I met there, a Captain, had two Purple Hearts, and he is a True Hero. Thanks for the comments.

[ccfd1996]

Great vid keep up the good work .Semper fi my brother.

[rjs87]

you left out the best part...the rifle inspections!

[silentdrillteam]

Hi, keep watching it's 5 minutes long, I included one of the Rifle Inspections exerpts, The performance is actually 44 minutes long in total.

[rjs87]

try to upload some other performances. i love the silent drill team!

[silentdrillteam]

The first excerpts show the Drum and Bugle Corps' Music in Motion Performance, then the Silent Drill Platoon Excerpts and a portion of Pass In Review with the Marine Corps Hymn.
