@Airman410 Marine Musicians do that stuff via military tradition: it's called what we do at every daggone Marine Corps change of command, retirement ceremony, etc. This is our break from it and allows us to display more showmanship, which greatly adds to the versatility of the band.

@luqmanhakimMLHBB well it just my own personal "ignorant" opinion apparently. They just walk out there while the USMC is putting on an epic performance..and well it just kinda ruins the whole effect yano? the usmc band practiced for hours and hours to make it perfect...to be in step, in line, etc...and when the "douche camera dudes walk out there like they own the place it just....pisses me off a tad. sorry

@drum192192 i dont see why they are douches..
-
thumbs up for the two douche camera guys :P

Nice to see the band unstuff the shirts and come out with an actual show. Too bad they restricted themselves to half the floor available to them. Nice show overall though.

@Airman410 it was military, just desperado/ egyptian military

Yes, i dont align this with the US. A firemans funeral from NY maybe would be suitable? ;)
So, they have a few trumpet players that can scream a few high notes... but, as a Navy musician (Euphonium) and someone who has several friends in the different Marine bands, I would have preferred a performance that was a more in line with the Marine and military band tradition and less in line with Drum Corp. International... They do a good job of performing in a DCI style, but I would've liked to see something closer to the military bearing and discipline that the Marines represent.
