U. S. Army Song - The Army Goes Rolling Along

[MEATLMILITA]

I want to be the west point class of 2019!

[mikeymacaque]

I grew up in the same county that West Point is in. My dad had season tickets to Army Football. I live in Florida now, but West Point is still my most memorable place to see a football game.

[itootdafloot]

[Lambda5555m]

I am a REDLEG and don't like it that the Army borrowed the Field Artillery Song and we need to find the Army a song of its own! Nothing says love like a Brigade 6!!!

[VivaLaTrumpet]

I'm NOWHERE compared to my brother acedemically, but I can still say that to me, West Point seems freakin crazy! I read an article about the dicipline it requires. It's now rated at #1 school and Harvard at #2.

[VivaLaTrumpet]

My brother was accepted to go to West Point, and a recruiter even came to the house, but he chose Harvard instead in the end. Mom wanted him to go to West Point, but my brother didn't wanna cut off his dread locks, my brother is very much a hippish rebel type that it's funny, and he didn't wanna give in to all the dicipline West Point requires.

[sensei48]

I appreciate the note that the song was formerly known as "The Field Artillery March" - but it was known nationally through most of the 20th century as "When The Caissons Go Rolling Along." A caisson, of course, was a horse-drawn two-wheeled wagon that carried powder and shot for - field artillery. All of us of a certain age remember that Pres. Kennedy's coffin was taken to Arlington on a caisson, and at Lincoln's funeral parade in CD as well.

[sicNegro]

Wish I could've gone there. :)

Senior Military College will do though. :P

[DebbieFromVirgil]

My daughter went there in '97. It was great!

[daddyleon]

One of the positive side-effects of armies... their motivative songs xD

[futurearmyranger1]

[conflictcommando]

[jwhiteoc12]

I LOVE THE POINT!!!, my dad graduated in 82, and taught there from 01' to '04. I truly is God's country. I think about it every day, I love it there.

[lukerules219]

I wanna join naval academy

[TKD6yrs]

I want to attend West Point real bad 2012!!!

[Deovindice2001]

Good luck man. Getting into any of the service academy's is no joke. And I don't mean good luck like I'm talking shit.

[DGillUCO]

Try the Merchant MArine Academy, its in NY and less people apply and there is no obligation to a particular service when you graduate

[AgtBauer24]

But you have to serve as a Merchant Marine on a merchant vessel after you graduate. It's life on the seas for several years.

[xoEclipse1]

[MikeyCreation]

I wanted to join.

[magicstorm1]

marching band are like the cheerleaders of the army, cheer them before fight and after the battle. there also useful to salute fallen soldiers. and osmetimes just for pure entertainment and popularity in civillians

[blazerr69]

Its simply tradition.

[TheOnlineCommunity]

Most armies of the world have bands. They play at ceremonies, parades, funerals, and events for entertainment. I guess military bands come from the bands that played field marching songs before the 1900s.

[rmorecook]

The earliest known band is the Mehter Band of the Turkish Army. It goes back about 800 years. Search for it on YouTube and Google it. I think their best tune is Ceddin Deddin Bob M

[UdallIn72]

Yeah. As an army's main function is to walk long distances, it's always made sense to have some entertainment along.

[LifeAquaticStudios]

the songs real name is "when the casons go marching along"

[rmorecook]

Hi Friend

The Caisson Song is the original. In about 1959 the Army wrote new words for it - it stopped being the Field Artillery Song then and became the Army Song. I liked the old words better! :-)

[UdallIn72]

Caissons, actually.

I like that version better. "Hi-Hi-Hee" is way better than "Hi-Hi-Hey."

Truth.

[vanwahlgren]

Thank you USMA Band You are the best!

[xTITANxFTWx]

This is were the worlds best Army Officers are produced : )......

[chkz27]

West Point was built like a Castle, cause it's strategic place. HOOAH!

[1234uz]

[Mikeytheawesomesest]

I remember playing this song at out veterans day parade.A real honor.

[CrosslegLuke]

West-point looks like a castle.......

[CrosslegLuke]

BTW WTH is this song?

[macdaddyfarland]

The Army Song. like Anchors Aweigh is the Navy's song.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

Actually is is As the Caissons Go Rolling Along.

[1johncenafan]

the song is called The Army Goes Rolling Along

[IrishLincoln]

Well, it was a fort

[CrosslegLuke]

First to fight, for the right, and to build the Nation's might, and the Army goes Rolling Along! Proud of all we have done, fighting till the battle's won, and the Army goes Rolling Along!

Then it's hi, hi, hey, the Army's on its way, count off the cadence loud and strong! For where'er we go, you will always know, that the Army goes Rolling Along!

[ryan16458]

do u guys think that kids in germany look up these videos on thier german youtube and think that we are overpround as a country?

I personally feel that this stuff is awsome

[Zaddtheman]

If it wasn't for the face that the general public seems to be ashamed of our men in uniform, I'm sure we would have more military parades. God bless them.

[georgefannin]

go army, 298th mp company 1979 - 1982

[danfrei88]

U S A!!!

[dave89z]

SWEETTT!!!! I wish we americans had more military parades

[Vyo]

yea in most European countries military parades are a tradition, but the US doesn't seem to have that tradition. Its pretty cool when u c the military parades in france , russia, and other countries with a crazy military. ItZ sad b/c the greatest military power in the world like the US doesn't have parades :(

[Dogmeat7]

what's to show we all know were the best. :) also these are Cadets

[esnacionalis]

buena marcha
