Becoming a United States Marine was a dream come true for me on December 24 1965. I volunteered for duty in Vietnam and served two tours. SEMPER FI BROTHERS. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. OOH RAH.
Rah
"OOO-RAH!"
I was 10 with 2 brothers in Nam. You guys were my heroes,thanks for “ just doing your job.”
I graduated MCRD san Diego 28 Dec 65. OOOrah.
I remember when I was in the Coast Guard marching band out of boot camp. They sent us all over the place to march in town parades and holidays. We flew around in a C-130 cargo plane and all it had for seats were nets. Those planes could stop on a dime. I saw them get into a lot of small town airports. Anyway, it was a thrill to march through the streets and be greeted by all these waving, clapping people who were all smiles. It was a great feeling. Very patriotic.
When Im older, I want to join the coast guard. Thank you for serving!
Thank you for nice comment
Only parade I "march" and got wave at was in 4th grade. The whole school paraded in our town.
No one could compose a march like John Phillip Sousa.
I live in small town Iowa, and we are blessed to have a Marine band lead off our annual summer celebration. They came the first year, way back in 1976 for our Bicentennial celebration and they've been coming back ever since! They get to spend time with the townspeople & enjoy the party!! Some of them have never had the chance to visit the midwest & they go home with a different perspective. Always, always a class act, no matter which base they are from. God bless our military people. And God bless America! 🇺🇸
Getting to meet the people one is protecting can be a profound experience.
Aren't we blessed to live in a country where the absolute finest men and women will don the uniform and stand up for the rest of us.GOD BLESS THE USMC,USN,ARMY,AIR FORCE,COAST GUARD AND AMERICA.
Always a pleasure watching and listening to a Marine Band(s) Never gets old. Pete Asterino N Syracuse NY Marine 1953-1957
Thank you for your service!
They do our Country proud. I’m an Air Force Veteran, all veterans are brothers and sisters and I’m honored to see this video.
Absolutely beautiful 👑 👑 👑
So proud to say my son is a US Marine!
Happy 4th of July, Everybody! Happy 245th Birthday, America!!! July 4th, 1776 shall never be Abolished nor replaced in our hearts!
Wonderful band - known all over the world for its strength - representing the US with honor and respect !!
My Marine Corps indoctrination was at PISC in 1973. This is among the finest of the band ensembles. Great job with The Stars and Stripes. Ooh rah.
Those piccolos get me every time!! I play the flute but have always wanted a piccolo...may have to go get one now that I am thinking about it! God bless you all, thank you for bringing some light into these dark days!
Always a thrill to hear a military band playing a John Philip Sousa March. Brings back a lot of memories from being in band in school. Great job Marines. Great precision.
Remember,John Phillip Sousa was a Marine!
Sousa knew how to write marches! After a tour of Europe, he was approaching New York, by boat, and the sight of the US inspired him to write "Stars and Stripes forever." A great rendition of this song, is on an old player piano. I had a neighbor who rebuilt them and he happened to have this song on a roll. It's amazing how a person can influence a performance by pumping the pedals, on a player piano! Good times!!
This is why I love America!!! God watch over you all!
God bless America. God bless our USMC band... thank God for Maestro JP Sousa.
A snappy salute to all US Marine Band from Philippines!!!
God bless the USMC. The few, the very proud.
Amen to that all people connected to the service in any way deserves our humble thnks, being a former marine myself semper fi to all marines thnks to all the people who serve we cant do this without one + another
This video makes me so proud to be an American!
Beatles❤Girl 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Friends Forever !!
Het is nu 13 juni 2020!
Ik zou me schamen om nu -onder President D. Trump- een Amerikaan te moeten zijn !
Wat een slechte Republikeinse pres!!
Wat een Drol!!
Met voorsprong de slechtste President OOIT•
They can do this blindfolded and still come out perfectly correct.
having seen a USMC band in the flesh there is nothing more impressive than marine musicians
I can agree with that the royal marine band are something else, and im just biding my time till i get to come and watch the US marine band perform, im hoping they live up to my expectations (I mean of course they will).
God Bless Our Soldier ‘s Living and Deceased and Those who Play Instrumentals like in this Band especially in Parades ..I Wish You All Luck in the Future..
This scene, taken in early winter, upon a football field, with the USMC Marching Band, is as American as you can get!

These guys can march and play with more excellent precision while marching forward, backward, or sideways than any band I’ve seen-period
Thank you for protecting our earth.
America Strong and United! Thank you, armed forces. Brothers, Sisters, Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters.
Love Sousa’s The Stars and Stripes Forever! Makes me proud to be an American! God Bless all of our military and God Bless America! ❤️🇺🇸
All you guys are the best beautiful best love it.
I believe the first song played upon taking the field is "The Battle Cry of Freedom" which originated during the Civil War. The first performing song is of course the Stars and Stripes.
Excellent performance... In keeping with the high standards and self-discipline of all fine Marines...
byronking . The best

The australians and the Americans have always hand in Hand with us Aussies from all walks of life and will always to continue so till the end of time.
Absolutely. 3/15/22.
This was the competitive march my freshman year in high school band. The 3rd trombone part will be stuck in my head until the day I die.
People who leave bad comments dont remember that its because of our military we can voice our opinion. And many have given their lives.
And f*** those people. LMAO
I love this
Congratulation !! Perfect perfomance .. great band and musicians .greating
My dad was a Marine in WW2 , My uncle George was a Marine 1943-1948 , My oldest brother was a Marine 1972-1975.
Cliff Wolfe below said it all., Its Semper Fi, till the day I die. Pete Asterino, N Syracuser NY USMC 1953-1957
My father was a Marine in WWll and lived in Herkimer, N.Y. I am proud to be the daughter of a U.S.Marine.
To Kathy thank you for your father's service!
To Peter as well thank you for serving to protect the freedoms I have today!
OORAH,PETER!
I could imagine them playing Stripes music from the movie
I would just like to say that when I was in my passing out parade at HMS Raleigh in 1973, the RM band played Liberty Bell just as we turned into line to pass the flag pole & the Admiral. If any one is familiar with Monty Python, you will understand why we had trouble keeping a straight line
GOD BLESS AMERICA and its people!
You have oil??? FEEEL MY FREEDOM!!!!
Can't wait to go to boot camp, and embarc on a great journey with these fearless young men and women!!! Wish they had Tenors (drums) but they only play Marchs. Oh well my buddy the snare never fails
Adoro esta musica, no me canso de escucharla. Es la cara de los USA. 😃😃
Wow, thank you/
I truly enjoyed this. They're good. Loved the marching of the bands.
