As a United States Marine Corps Band Veteran, First Marine Division and First Marine Aircraft Wing Bands, I can never watch this and not have a tear in my eye. Our reality as Marines is we are also combat Marines in the bands and always ready to ship out at a moments notice. Highly trained musicians and riflemen along with other weapons.

Semper Fi Marines and Thank You!

(Tear ducts streaming right now.)

@MrKillerPog Saw that too.. and he never missed a beat, one of the horns knocked it off by what I saw. Notice also how the big band in the background stared in awe of these people before moving on? Probably thought "man, wish our uniforms were as good as that".

Sideline massed marching was truly epic - tight as hell

[mgwilliams1000]

All I can say is this.. If other people give you crap and say your a nerd or sissy for playing in the band...then show them this! The USMC band and this song are immortal in American History.

I'm poole and i ship out in march. I just graduated from high school. I also play the trumpet I was 5th chair symphonic band my senior year. I'm didn't choose band as one of my options but i think i want to try and see if i can make it. The only problem is that i my private lesson teacher at the time was telling me i need to change my ambisher so i can get more range and endurance and better tone in the upper range (5th line f# and up) do you think i have a chance of making it.

I have a lot of respect for the Marine Corps Band- I wanted to be in it at one point. Precision! AWESOME BAND!
