As a United States Marine Corps Band Veteran, First Marine Division and First Marine Aircraft Wing Bands, I can never watch this and not have a tear in my eye. Our reality as Marines is we are also combat Marines in the bands and always ready to ship out at a moments notice. Highly trained musicians and riflemen along with other weapons.
@MrKillerPog Saw that too.. and he never missed a beat, one of the horns knocked it off by what I saw. Notice also how the big band in the background stared in awe of these people before moving on? Probably thought "man, wish our uniforms were as good as that".
All I can say is this.. If other people give you crap and say your a nerd or sissy for playing in the band...then show them this! The USMC band and this song are immortal in American History.
I'm poole and i ship out in march. I just graduated from high school. I also play the trumpet I was 5th chair symphonic band my senior year. I'm didn't choose band as one of my options but i think i want to try and see if i can make it. The only problem is that i my private lesson teacher at the time was telling me i need to change my ambisher so i can get more range and endurance and better tone in the upper range (5th line f# and up) do you think i have a chance of making it.
Lost 1 cover this year,last year it was two lol,great video,great quality,always look forward to hearing the Marine Corps Composite band,truly an outstanding band!!
Lol,... Who saw the Marine Band Major wave: "Get the heck out my band's way!!!" to the band in black?
