Beautifully played but definitely wrong time and place. The USMC graduation ceremony at PI is about honoring and welcoming the new Marines. It's the end of 13 weeks of hell, earning your own Eagle, Globe & Anchor, and joining the FMF. It has nothing to do with how well the band plays. As someone who did my time on PI, I can honestly say that I completely agree with prv8eye. They should stick to the traditional ceremonial marches for graduation and do their showing off at the local parades.

@fmagalhaes1521 Because everyone sings it at the end of graduation.

Our son graduated at Parris Island about 5 weeks prior to this video. It was warm there and the band was awesome, not to mention the cock roaches at night! Semper Fidelis! btw he went to Iraq 3 times and is our Hero!!!

True. However I'm sure the played plenty of songs appropriate for a graduation. There is nothing with a couple fun songs.

Sorry, I hate it. These dancing jazz numbers seem to be more about showing off the skills of the band than to celebrate and set the mood for a military graduation.
I like the music, just the wrong time and place. Doesn't send a chill up your spine or pump up your pride like the military marches did when I graduated from PI in 75.
