This band is made up of three Marine Bands from around Southern California.

To whomever shot this video: Nice job! Thank you! The tv stations completely botched it.
The Marine Corps hymn reminds me of the day I graduated Boot Camp at MCRD San Diego back in the stone ages, 1968.
No one on the planet can touch the Marines!!! SHARP!
Served 20 years as a Navy Corpsman. Spent 6 years with the Marines during the Viet Nam era. The toughest and best 6 years of my career.
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!
Those first warm-up chords are spectacular.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Been out 66 years still a marine
Always a United States Marine for life....Semper Fi!
5:05
I love l❤ you, Americans
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.
They were so accurate with the music and never missed a step with the marching. It takes your breath away!
Such an impeccable start . .! ❤❤❤
Always! My admiration from Spain 😉👍🏼
PISC in 1981, and the hymn STILL causes goose-bumps. Semper Fi.
SEMPER FIDELIS 🦅🇺🇲
Nearly five years later....it's still OUTSTANDING!
They are amazing. I love watching them. God bless our US Marines. Semper Fi
...nothing is as sharp and precise as this great band...
Excepts the Royal Marines band of the United Kingdom
@tomAS-27.
No. Not even close.
the band harmonizing at the beginning was 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
The drum major is marching so beautiful.
The best part of the whole parade
Gives me chills every time.
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!
That cadence is funky! Good job USMC!
God bless them each and everyone. They are the pride of our nation.
Senper Fi
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,,,
Another fine job, Thank you !
People feel safe when they hear the United States Marines are here. There is no better combat force in the world!! 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
I love that tune! I really do! Semper Fi!!
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.
That drum cadence with the tenor snares had a different beat than usually see with the marine corps marching units. Sounded pretty sweet!
Grandioso! I would have loved to been there to here this live! Yes, I am from Texas...
Musical Badassery! Was in this band '72, '73. Ooh Rah!
Fantastic
Only band that can play this good and storm a beach
Oorah
Awesome!!
March Grandiose is my favorite !!
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.
Beautiful~!
Thank you for sharing! 谢谢您的分享！
Wow❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!
Much luv💕
So cool!!!! I love it!
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.
Richard Cunningham Thanks, Navy!
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.
Right...just like only women can have an opinion about abortion? It's 2017 and it's the US. Everyone can have an opinion.
Brynn Kohler Killing unborn babies is not an opinion its just plain old murder!
@@ProjecthuntanFish Amen
They look sharp coming and going!
Almost made me wanted to go the Marine Corp today.😃🇺🇸
Thank you for posting this video! :-)
Um povo que acima de tudo respeita seu País, só pode ser a primeira potência do mundo. Realmente um orgulho.
Warriors first, band second. These are real heroes! OooRah!
Rapaz que perfeição em parabéns 👏👏😍👏
Go marines, love 💕
I love the United States Marine corps
AWESOME
GOD bless the U.S MARINE CORPS OOHRAH!!!
Gotta give it to them. Nice Job!
Espectacular
Ist up, March Grandioso, Roland F. Seitz
looking good marines !!!
Semper Fi,l served in another Branch of the military but I was married to a Marine
God save the USMC . thank you good guys in the bad lands
everything is ok
god bless the USA all the best from scotland
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.
What a rude, backhanded compliment. Go get your teeth cleaned and straightened.
Thanks mate! You fellows have a few years experience on us, but I'm glad you're on our side!!! Cheers from this side of the 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.
Brit Marines and U.S. Marines joined at the hip as the saying goes. Brothers. Semper Fi U.S.M.C. 79-83 /0341/0331.
@@lesliehall7683 Please make we aware of when in this video these musicians are not marching properly.
Shoow ! Muito bom Parabéns From Brasil
Semper Fi Y'all
excelente
It would be pretty cool if you could use a Go Pro with a drone for 2016, but I doubt they would allow it.
hahaha even the warm up is bad ass
I was in this parade.
Same, i was in the band behind the grand marshall float.
No one does it like the Marines 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
OMG YES!!! What was that drum line performance in the beginning?
If that doesn't get your fire going, well, your wood is all wet. SemperFi
OooRah!
I see u in other video...
Because the media "hosts" always break to commercial when this excellent band comes into view, I quit watching the Rose Parade !
格好いい👍️😄
U come only for the commander and the Marines Hymn
Thanks as always, I love the USMC-WCCB. Did they show up at Band Fest?
You're welcome John. Unfortunately, they did not attend Bandfest.
+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.
hopefully, times change
어지럽고 혼돈일 때는 정돈된 군대의 행진 소리도 좋은 약이 되지요. 여기는 지금 젊은이는 아니어도 행인의 모이 부쩍 즐었어요. 그래도 일하러 기는 모습. 도와주어 감사 합니다.
Appreciate it's a while ago but does anyone know the Chord Progression for the warm-ups please?
0:49 "that mustache hair is in violation of God father will" Generation Kill
They damned sure SOUNDED like a Marine band though.
Who was the drum major of the West Coast Composite Marine Band in 2015?
looking for the piccolo part
Yes it's alsome
Anyone know what the name of the musical piece they performed? Really cool.

OO-RAH
เราจะไปพร้อมกันเมื่อชาติตัองการ หัวเพลงของอเมริกาจะออกแบบมาคล้ายๆกัน อเมริกันกำลังเข้าสู่ภาวะของสงคราม เป็นเพลงมาร์ชอีกเพลงที่ถือว่าสุดยอดมาก
3:45 is the best part
Nice march
#usmc
OOH-RAH!!!!
4:12 epic part
How odd, the video is 5 minutes and 56 minutes long 5.56x45mm
I thought that song/music came from the University of Texas Marching Band. They've done Grandiose for decades
whats the title of the overture played at the start of 1:40?
March grandioso
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.
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
😮😮😮😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Suena como banda de colegio.
No se nada de musica. La banda suena mal?
