I was stationed there from 1964 to 1968. Here I am 52 years later and my grand children attended one of the parades. We watched it together on this site and I still tear up when they post the colors.
I teared up a little when I first saw this. Not too proud to say I teared up a 2nd time too when I saw again the first part again... Heck, I know where my allegiance is. These FINE gentlemen are spectacular to watch. The care... the respect...the dignity and pride portrayed by their very execution of presenting these colors is awesome to watch. Don't believe me--- see 01:08 of the video and just LOOK at the precision JUST to get off of the grass. That's what I'm talking about... Sets apart the boys/girls from the Men/Women Marines entrusted with such act. Flawless...
I am currently doing a "mock" color guard in a play portraying sailors and marines during WWII. If they did this M1 during WWII I might incorporate this in our play. Being prior service myself I want to do it right and teach these actors to portray the color guard well.
+JOhn Lucca Dang how big is your unit???? we have about a hundred or so and we are still a NNDCC (a step below from a NJROTC) but October 2016, we will hopefully become an official NJROTC
Your service is deeply appreciated thanks for everything you do take care best wishes to all the branches who serve us proud to be American thanks take care. Joe
You're a Grand Old Flag, The National Anthem, and the Trio section to the National Emblem March. The first two were played by The President's Own and the last by The Commendant's Own.
The guy carrying the American flag was by then sergeant Spreder, now a gunnery sergeant and chieff drill instructor ar MCRDPI. He was my senior drill imstructor.
It is "You're a Grand Old Flag" and I have the lyrics thereof for you. They are as follows: You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag and forever in peace may you wave! You're the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave. Every heart beats true under red, white and blue, where there's never a boast or brag. But should auld acquaintance be forgot? Keep your eye on the grand old flag!
I currently do high school color guard (yes, the flag-spinning type), but I’m hoping to someday do military guard to represent the colors of the nation. God bless America.
What is the song they are playing at the retirement of the colors? Does anybody know? Thanks so much, would like to see if local band can play it at an event. 🇺🇸🦅💪
Caleb Overbo Thnx. What do you mean by the depends on the color sergeant? Like if the color sergeant is 5'6 then everyone else need to be 5'6 or something like that? Or do you mean the color sergeant makes the policy?
Right Rifle Guard has his hands on the wrong place. Present Arms with Rifle is always Left Hand gripping the Balance Stock and the Right Hand on the Small of Stock. Left Rifle Guard has it correct though that was a most unusual way of going from Left Shoulder Arms to Present Arms. Why not both of them go into proper Port Arms first?
Marines Barrick Washington follows ceremonial drill techniques, not found in MCO 5060.20. They have mirror port, and one of the rifles is at the left shoe when at order arms.

Hola no sé si alguien más hable español pero quisiera hacer una pregunta, ¿por qué algunos marines usan pantalón blanco y otros usan pantalon azul con franjas rojas?

Bro I came here because it’s stuck in my head from the cadet ball my MCJROTC program had
2:54 That sound gave me the chills.
Their flag tip and buckles were so shiny
I was in MBW from 12-13. These songs bring back some good memories!

That was an amazing version of our anthem.
Is there a video tutorial or ANYTHING on how to do order arms like that?!
+ThatValorguy join a program about the military like I'm in the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps and i learned color guard
+JOhn Lucca im in JROTC (I know, it's lame) but I basically just did what the Marines did and now I use it for my drill team
+ThatValorguy thats cool
i want to join a NJROTC at a high school with a few friends of mine from my unit but i need to move to that area
+JOhn Lucca Dang how big is your unit???? we have about a hundred or so and we are still a NNDCC (a step below from a NJROTC) but October 2016, we will hopefully become an official NJROTC
+Meghan Trego i think about Fourty Shipmates big
I'm damn proud to say I have the privelage to perform as these fine men did
Your service is deeply appreciated thanks for everything you do take care best wishes to all the branches who serve us proud to be American thanks take care. Joe
Gives me chills. Everytime.
God Bless the Corps !
That's 8th and 9 color guard best color guard in the entire military. Especially with the rifles, so awesome
8th & I. Not 9.
Bad ass present an order arms
Minus the Corp flag not dipping on the command of execution lol
Nick Nunya it’s supposed to dip on the first note of the anthem
My daughters Dream and Passion. It’s all that’s kept her going.
YES. What is the name of that music played ?
Grand old Flag

He was my color sgt when I was there
What is the name of the music that plays as the color guard retires the colors off the parade field after the National Anthem??
National Emblem March
It is "You're a Grand Old Flag" and I have the lyrics thereof for you.
They are as follows:
You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag
and forever in peace may you wave!

the home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true under red, white and blue,

National Emblem
That was beautiful.
I went this year, the band and everything was amazing
what's the minimum height to bcvome a color guard? like 6'6 or something?
No. Technically there is no minimum height.
Um so untechnically, what's the minimum height? I'm sure you can't be 4'5
You have to be a similar height to everybody else.
It's 6'2 as of right now (depends on the color sergeant) just arrived at 8th and I last month for color guard
Caleb Overbo Thnx. What do you mean by the depends on the color sergeant? Like if the color sergeant is 5'6 then everyone else need to be 5'6 or something like that? Or do you mean the color sergeant makes the policy?

Hey, their feet are together, too. Oh, it's because they do things differently in Washington, DC.
Marines Barrick Washington follows ceremonial drill techniques, not found in MCO 5060.20. They have mirror port, and one of the rifles is at the left shoe when at order arms.

Those are my brothers! Semper Fi!
Hola no sé si alguien más hable español pero quisiera hacer una pregunta, ¿por qué algunos marines usan pantalón blanco y otros usan pantalon azul con franjas rojas?
The rifle two count salute..and order arms.. can that be done for all Marine Corps color guard or is that only for this particular detail?
Knightart1977 it’s specific to them. The rest of us do it differently.
Knightart1977 only the color guard at MBW is allowed the mirrored present arms
8th and I does ceremonial drill. Every drill movement they execute has an extra count added to it.

I apologize I just saw this. I don't know how to change my license but I'm happy to send it to you via email if you like. Message me.

Hello! It is the Trio section of National Emblem March by E.E. Bagley.

Grand old Flag

God bless this Nation.
What are the songs for the Color Party to fall in and fall out?

Those trombones sound thiccc boiiii.
Is the way they present arms in the film in the drill manual or is the unit allowed to do it a different way
It's marine corps color guard drill
8th and I (Marine Barracks) do it that way ceremonially. The MCDCM states the proper way
The Commandant’s Own does it a different way than everyone else.
