    @mcwolf27

    No sorry... thats B...t

    Ludwig van Beethoven's Marsch Nr. 1 in F-Dur, more commonly known as Yorckscher Marsch, was named in 1813 to the prussian general Johann David Ludwig Graf Yorck von Wartenburg, who signed the convention of tauroggen in 1812 for prussia.

    This incident is considered as the beginning of the wars of liberation against napoleon by the german states.

  • 4:20 everything else is B******t

  • @pettyofficer30 As pointed out they come in as E-6.

    What I wanted to point out is that your statement is belittling.

    1. They are some of the best musicians in the country.

    2. They are required to maintain Marine standards as to grooming (hair length, etc.) and have strict weight requirements.

    3. Their on going training not only includes music perfection but also marching perfection.

    4. Their pay is 75% of city orchestras.

    5. They have Discipline

    4. Finally, minimum pay in

  • they were at my high school today

  • @pettyofficer30 No, they all come in as an E-6 Staff Sergeant.

  • I'll take the Commandant's Own over the President's Own. Any USMC bandos out there know if they are separate units or they all drill and rehearse together? Thanks in advance.

  • Pardon me for being a contrarian but others may have my share of the bagpipes. Spare me from the bagpipes.....the Germans have a perfect name for them........."Dudelsack"

  • @runnyrunrun Correct! They are recruited from college this country! All come in as E-5 pay grade. They are for show (play your music and don't talk) type....

  • @MrDanmeyers no, ive been to the evening parade many times, and the second time i went, i asked why they played it and thats the reply that i got

  • Loved hearing the President's Own play Scotland the Brave, even w/out the pipes! I think there are more of us Americans of Scots descent than there are Scots in Scotland!! What a great tribute to a great country.

  • The President's Own never went to boot camp.

    FACT.
