Been out of the Corps for over 20 years, and the Marine Corps Hymn always brings a tear to my eye and makes me stand up a little taller. Semper Fi, Marines!
I grew up in a T or R family. I decorated floats for 18 years until I was old enough to be a T of R member. 2021 is my 39th parade. I still stand taller, and the tears flow when I hear the Marines coming! I typically have been up for a week and have had no sleep a couple of days before the Parade. When I hear the Marines, I know it is New Year's! (The band as well as the flyover!) As far as I am concerned - BEST BAND EVER! When you look up perfection in the dictionary, The Marine Band shows up - especially when they take the corner! Absolute Perfection! Thank you for your service, and I am glad you got to experience The Rose Parade! Happy New Year to you and your family.
It's always great, all of it. The Marines, dress blues, the great music and precision...but then there's that first step. There's just something rousing when they all step off...."We're the United States Marines, and we're here!" God bless one and all, and thank you for the awesome video!
I played in this band in the 1986 Tournament of Roses Parade. It was the absolute thrill of my life. You can't get a sense of the crowds and the cheering from tv or RUclips. It's wall to wall people, cheering the entire six miles. Just incredible to experience.
Lovely memory you have shared! I am a San Gabriel Valley resident and we have always been proud of the Rose Parade's appeal. We volunteered to decorate the floats as kids.

That's a long way to march and playing your horn, too. My longest parade was at the Indy 500 in 1973. Full lap around the track, 2 1/2 miles, in a dark wool uniform and playing the entire time on my trombone.
This is the best rendition of "March Grandioso" that I can find anywhere. Having the trombones out front just gives the march a fullness that you can't get in any other version available.
@@jkillgrove 🎵"Seventy-six trombones lead the big parade...."🎶 That's a given, but in doing so with the microphones being positioned as they were led to a magnificent sound not found on other recordings that I hav found.
Did you see the 1stMarDiv. emblem on the base drum? I’m still one of those, 2nd Bn. 7th Marine Ret. 0351 - ‘77-‘80. It’s true, once a Marine, yah got it. And that was a Hell of a Marching Band,,, God Speed, and God Bless the Marine Corps,,,,, 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Semper Fi,,,
My sister and her husband marched in the Rose Parade in the Compton College band many, many moons ago and they were exhausted at the end. I'll bet these guys could go another 5 miles before they even got a little out of breath!
How wonderful to hear the US Marines Hymn while the Marines are marching in. I like that Hymn that I developed my own Lyrics with that Song for my BETA EPSILON Sigma Honor Fraternity of UE-Manila in the mid-60s.
Many years ago during time of war I served in the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Marine Corps is part of the Naval establishment. We damn well don't need some jerk who probably never served his country making remarks about them being squared away. This band is good and if something complimentary can't be said just don't say anything.
I'm an ex-dogface and agree. Only those who have served are entitled to an opinion. I may kid Marines but I have the utmost respect and love for them, the Navy not so much.

Our British Royal Marines bands are great - but for sheer bullshit, bravado and showmanship you can't beat the Yanks! Well done, the USMC, and best wishes from this side of the Big Pond.
@@brynnkohler4084 I am struggling to understand why you don't recognise my praise for the USMC band - unlike your offensive, unnecessary comment. It is people like you who create boundaries between nations.
+John Emmanuel Ramos due to sequestration, Marine bands no longer have the funding to attend Bandfest and the Rose Parade. Putting 150 Marines up in a hotel for 4 days is wicked expensive, and not a justifiable expenditure, according to the federal government.
+Marisa Dyson Unless they have made a last minute change (or you're part of the band), as far as I know, the Marine Corps West Coast Composite Band will be performing in the 2016 Rose Parade. The office ToR website still lists them as a participant. I know that due to funding issues, they don't perform at Bandfest as they have in previous years.
The cover the female marines wear is meant to accommodate their hair picked up in a bun. I think we can agree that we prob don’t want to make them get high and tights.
That's the women's dress blue uniform. The fleet bands do not wear special ceremonial uniforms like the President's Own and Commandant's Own; they wear the same uniforms as any other Marine.
"The President's Own" US Marine Band and "The Commandant's Own" Marine Drum and Bugle Corps wear red. There are also 10 field bands (3 of them performing here together) that wear the traditional blue uniform.
The Marine Corps hymn reminds me of the day I graduated Boot Camp at MCRD San Diego back in the stone ages, 1968.
To whomever shot this video: Nice job! Thank you! The tv stations completely botched it.
No one on the planet can touch the Marines!!! SHARP!
Those first warm-up chords are spectacular.
Greatest band playing greatest song. Our Hymn...thats right it's a Hymn. We see our beloved Corps
our brothers past and present in
reverence.

My favorite March ever. And it is not even a Souza composition.
There is another reason for having trombones out front. It's so they don't poke the person in front of them in the rear with their slide.
@@jkillgrove 🎵"Seventy-six trombones lead the big parade...."🎶 That's a given, but in doing so with the microphones being positioned as they were led to a magnificent sound not found on other recordings that I hav found.
I have been in military bands where trombones marched in the rear with the sousaphones. It's then a different sound you hear because of it.
Wow❤❤❤❤
PISC in 1981, and the hymn STILL causes goose-bumps. Semper Fi.
SEMPER FIDELIS 🦅🇺🇲
March Grandiose is my favorite !!
Nearly five years later....it's still OUTSTANDING!
the band harmonizing at the beginning was awesome.
They are amazing. I love watching them. God bless our US Marines. Semper Fi
They were so accurate with the music and never missed a step with the marching. It takes your breath away!
Fantastic
The best part of the whole parade
...nothing is as sharp and precise as this great band...
Excepts the Royal Marines band of the United Kingdom
The drum major is marching so beautiful.
Such an impeccable start . .! ❤❤❤
Always! My admiration from Spain 😉👍🏼
Gives me chills every time.
God bless them each and everyone. They are the pride of our nation.

I'd love to see this band and the massed bands of The Royal Marines perform together.
Love the music,but yhe marching is the best. Perfect.
Awesome!!
I think that the drum major is outstanding. You can tell, he is proud of being a Marine
He is outstanding and you can tell that those four generals are proud that he's a Marine, too. SF
Outstanding , Always
I love that tune! I really do! Semper Fi!!
This why I join the US Marine Corp for,once Marine all ways Marine
Thank you for your service Marine semper Fi friend

That drum cadence with the tenor snares had a different beat than usually see with the marine corps marching units. Sounded pretty sweet!
Almost made me wanted to go the Marine Corp today.😃🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing!
Much luv💕

March grandioso
Thank you for posting this video! :-)
looking good marines !!!
What is the song at 1:45?
+Chris Clark March Grandioso by Roland F. Seitz. Also listed in the description section above.
+Music213 sorry after i posted my question I saw that answer further down sorry for that.
+Chris Clark It's fine. No need to apologize :)
+Music213 A tad quick. Should be a strict 120 with more dynamic contrast.
Good
God save the USMC . thank you good guys in the bad lands
everything is ok
Appreciate it's a while ago but does anyone know the Chord Progression for the warm-ups please?
OMG YES!!! What was that drum line performance in the beginning?
It would be pretty cool if you could use a Go Pro with a drone for 2016, but I doubt they would allow it.
looking for the piccolo part
Anyone know what the name of the musical piece they performed? Really cool.

Who was the drum major of the West Coast Composite Marine Band in 2015?
Yes it's alsome
I was in this parade.
Same, i was in the band behind the grand marshall float.
เราจะไปพร้อมกันเมื่อชาติตัองการ หัวเพลงของอเมริกาจะออกแบบมาคล้ายๆกัน อเมริกันกำลังเข้าสู่ภาวะของสงคราม เป็นเพลงมาร์ชอีกเพลงที่ถือว่าสุดยอดมาก
OOH-RAH!!!!

Nice march

hopefully, times change
Because the media "hosts" always break to commercial when this excellent band comes into view, I quit watching the Rose Parade !
😮😮😮😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How odd, the video is 5 minutes and 56 minutes long 5.56x45mm
Why do the ladies wear a different (and less military looking) type of hat? Doesn't this detract from the meaning of the word "uniform"?
trapezemusic look at the uniformes blouse,they also wear a female tie.
The cover the female marines wear is meant to accommodate their hair picked up in a bun. I think we can agree that we prob don’t want to make them get high and tights.
That's the women's dress blue uniform. The fleet bands do not wear special ceremonial uniforms like the President's Own and Commandant's Own; they wear the same uniforms as any other Marine.
I always thought the Marine Band performed in red uniforms. Does anyone know why they're blue here?
Jacob Hoss The red, if I am not mistaken is used exclusively for concert and mainly used back east for the commandants own.
Jacob Hoss Im pretty sure the red is for "The presidents own". I might be wrong.
+Jacob Hoss Red Uniforms are The President's Own in DC. The Marine Drum and Bugle Corps in DC also wears a different red uniform jacket.
That's the regular dress blue Marine uniform
"The President's Own" US Marine Band and "The Commandant's Own" Marine Drum and Bugle Corps wear red. There are also 10 field bands (3 of them performing here together) that wear the traditional blue uniform.
