United States Marine Band-March of the Belgian Parachutists

[MyKingDodo]

Sounds great, but also could use a bassoon.

[dakirk123]

im playin this in band.... its fun to bob up and down to...

[gab21113]

This is the *cockiest* march I have ever heard... It says something about the men who are in the Regiment Parachutiste Belge... chips on their shoulders, and considering what they've done they earned them.

[cjninjablade]

I also played this song in the junior high region 10 of Texas band with Mr. Nolan as the conductor. I was fifth euphonium.

[singingeverett]

Im a freshman at Haughton High School and We're playing this! soun ds like the same arrangement too! Its so much fun! love this song

[Mwagolovesnaruto]

I am proud to say that I played this song in the 2011-2012 all-region band of Texas. Middle school. Conductor: Mr. Nolan.

[Paul41186]

I proud and honored to say i played this March at All Region and are Conductor for that evening was Mr. Joseph T. Spaniola On Jan 14, 2012. He's AWESOME!!

[MooneySuzuki3654]

The US Marine band is so awesome and disciplined that they can play without moving. They do it with their mind.

[Mwagolovesnaruto]

I just played this yesterday at All-Region. So difficult.... yet soooo fun. I play Clarinet. I got 1st band 2nd chair.

[TheBlueeuph]

@Mwagolovesnaruto what state?

[verhappytoast]

I'm playing this in my band. Fun song

[SaxMistro]

my junior high is playin this. this soong is alright nothing special tho

[Mwagolovesnaruto]

@SaxMistro The reason that a it's not "special" is probably because you aren't playing right.

[musicCRAZY123451]

luv it

[TheClarinetPlayer98]

My junior high symphonic band played this a few weeks ago, we played fairly well, the clarinet part was definetaly challenging but it was fun. I thought we were great, until I heard this USMC band play it. They're so precise its amazing

[thejazzpolice21]

Much better than the Coast Guards.

@LeonisDeGemini When you have a risky and deadly life, you need something to perk you up. :)

[zerrubabbel]

@musicCRAZY12345 be careful what you wish for, it's a good song, but over the course of four years and 2 highschools I've played it all four of them

[ja20585]

Thank you! So well done!

[musicCRAZY123451]

this arrangement is really cool. i can't wait for my band to play this!

[wodagibe]

I played the drums in this 1 :D and i'm belgian :D!!! twice a much fun!!! XD

[littleblackneko1]

Symphonic band at my school is doing this song!!! I play the oboe!

[mr5timewcwchamp]

@Burrito50cal except for euphonium part

[Burrito50cal]

Bass part is so easy :D

[itsTiLER]

all i can think of when i hear this piece is George N Parks Drum Major Academy! this is the song we would always conduct to!

[1996ian]

Wow. The orginal tempo is faster than i thought. Great job. Wish we had actual fotage

[Mr29635]

This is the exact tempo.

[mattpva777]

According to this piece, the Belgian Paratroopers were cuppy cake princesses.

[NVIDEA212]

@mattpva777 Choose your words wisely my friend. The Belgian paratroopers may be cuppy cake princesses, although I rather doubt that, but this is also the march of the British SAS and I assure you they are no cuppy cake princesses.

[kornflakez666]

@NVIDEA212

Nicely said. At least you're not forming an opinion of a subject you don't know everything about. mattpva772, I can assure you, they were/are no cuppy cake princesses. Greets from BELGIUM.

[NVIDEA212]

@kornflakez666 Thank you. Are you from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium or the French? Anyways respect to both the Belgian parachutists and the SAS.

[kornflakez666]

@NVIDEA212 The Dutch ;) we prefer to call it Flemish :)

[NVIDEA212]

@kornflakez666 Vlaams, dan kunnen we Nederlands praten dat scheelt :) Ik woon dichtbij de Belgische grens (Breda). Heb je ervaring met de 'Belgian Parachutists' ? ;)

[kornflakez666]

@NVIDEA212 grootoom (of iets dergelijks :p) was paratrooper. We hebben niet zoveel contact met hem, maar ik moest de eer toch een beetje hoog houden, hé xD.

[cadwaele]

Is dit een Belgische Mars? Zeer mooi en hoopvol :D Is this a Belgian march?

[CBrinley]

I played this in high school and now my section leader is in the marine corps band. lol

[LeonisDeGemini]

Anyone else think this is a little too happy for the most risky division of the military?

[101rocketmail]

@LeonisDeGemini lol I can only imagine.....

[muylae]

@LeonisDeGemini

only happy when in trouble :)

[MaryseSmet]

@LeonisDeGemini Why should we have a sad march??? When we parade it means that we have accomplished the tasks ..reason enough to be happy!!!

[AnonisAmo]

I'm twelve years old and playing this :)

[horsecrazygurl2010]

@AnonisAmo same here!!

[AnonisAmo]

@horsecrazygurl2010 Cool! :)

[TheMortallyWounded]

I remember this in high school too. Euphonium. I was like, "what are all these boring whole notes on top of all these ledger lines?" But I could play my part all day long and just listen to the rest of the band.

[caleb6229]

sounds amazing. nice job.

[FranknSwineGaming]

im in eighth grade and playing this i feel honored

[LWETS]

proud to be belguim

[BournePhenom]

We played this in our County Band and it's such an awesome song. The original version is way better than the edited version.

[LM1C144]

nice preformance

[unashamedaccompanist]

:) I played this in highschool and really enjoyed it. I like the tempo of this recording..so much better than many other versions! *two thumbs up*

[happyman1011]

i sat here for about half a minute waiting for the video to start moving, then i realized it was a still photo :P

[makaylacampbell]

@happyman1011 It took me until 3:11 to realize it was a still photo... Because that's when I read your comment... If that wasn't there, I would probably still be wondering why nobody is moving...

Fml

[derkaj2012]

this is one of my favorite marches along with Slidin' Steihl and United Nations

[superbinp]

this march is preety awesome
