Enjoyed this so much. I am first generation Irish here in America, it made me teary eyed listeng to this I think of my mom n dad seeing the stature of liberty for the first time. She loved this country and taught all her children to love it. Thank you marine band
The flute solo by the Corporal was top notch. Professional, enthusiastic and all the time maintaining the highest Military Decorum that Marines have come to be known for.
When I was in elementary school each morning we stood at our desks placed our right hand over our heart and together we pledged the flag of allegiance and closed with “and justice for all AMEN.”
Yes, I remember those days well. I also remember that, at one point in time, the Gov't took the words "UNDER GOD" out of the pladge!pledge!! They said that it might offend someone. RIDICULOUS
My cousin was stationed at Pendleton and I remember us driving what seemed like forever just to see him. That was years ago and he STILL calls himself a Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Thank you for your service to ALL military personnel - past, present and future. Their drill team is outstanding as well. They practice for hours every day.
Got a bit of dust in both my eyes? The Marine at the top dead center usually runs the flag retreat for the Disney security detail and is one squared away dude! He is the one guy I seek out every visit shake his hand and thank him. His pride, excitement, and commitment to his current job and his Corp is above reproach. I see people stand taller and with more confidence when he is around. Truly a world class act.
I grew up saying the pledge of allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer every morning as it was played through out our schools over the intercom. I’ve traveled the world and visited many nations and seen some beautiful cultures. The one closets to my heart will always be The United States of America. God blessed me the day I was born in this great country.
Thank you. It may be an old one, but this is the ONLY WAY I got to celebrate Veterans' Day this year, and truthfully, for several years. ANCHORS AWEIGH
As an Australian, It's very interesting that such a respected drill and ceremonial military service uses Waltzing Matilda. "I march to the same song as the Marines" Is a weird though seeing we're on different sides of the world
As basstrombonist I love the lower brass section of this wonderful orchestra ... Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful music with us. Greetings from the Netherlands
The most graceful moves in U.S. military branches. I love and really respect the USMC. Indeed the marines, the few, the proud and the best. I trust even other branches respect the marines.
Christopher Murphy after Guadalcanal you hosted our battle strained Marine's very graciously. The Marine Corps plays that Australian March to remember what you did for our Marines.
Dalton Pritchard Th grateful Australian people knew what the 1st Marine Division did on Guadalcanal , if the Japanese had defeated the Marines,the next step would have been Australia. Since then the 1st Marine Division Has adopted the song as their official tune,played at all deployments , and changes of command ceremonies.
Playing Waltzing Matilda makes Marines proud. Proud to have fought in the Pacific truly against all odds. Proud to have taken R&R in Australia and to have danced with those lovely Gals from DownUnder while the Australian men were shipped off to Europe. Now that dance part was told to me by two of my uncles. One a Marine and the other Sailer both spent all of their time in the Pacific. My Uncle Shannan married one of those lovely Gals from DownUnder, my aunt Mary. My family is made up of Marines and Sailers all stationed in the Pacific from Hawaii to Guam, Wake Okinawa, and Australia. You know why I say how important Australia was to my family. It's almost like we never left.
These military bands are SEXY! Love them always! Grew up being woken up by military music, when home from boarding school. My father was a military man during WW2.
For those who voted "thumbs down" or left negative comments regarding this wonderful and patriotic RUclips posting: *Because of freedom, you are free to express your thoughts or use unsupportive words as you see fit. But, no matter how unkind your words - the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces will honorably strive to guard and defend YOUR freedom without hesitation.* I am absolutely sorry the meaning of patriotic sacrifice does not touch your heart, and it is sad the cherished sound of freedom represented in this video has fallen upon deafness within your soul.
As an Aussie I love the tunes of the armed forces. You may already know that some of the Aussie Rules teams use some as their team song. It’s is wonderful to hear them. May God keep all of the me and women of the forces safe.
So, the 10th Anniversary of this particular performance in only 6 months and 2 days away!! I am a PROUD VETERAN of the United States Navy. I guess I am too proud because I just watched it for the 3rd time in the 90 minutes and I end up with tears running down my cheeks 😢😂 They are REAL TEARS TOO. I guess the older I get, the more sentimental I get. GOD BLESS ALL VETERANS, CURRENT,PRESENT, AND PAST, AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES. ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THIS: ALL GAVE SOME, AND SOME GAVE ALL! I 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 for the ones who had to pay all. I pray that their Sons, Wives, Husbands, their children, and their significant others, that they are living a full and happy life. This got a little long but, I am just SO DAMNED PROUD OF OUR ARMED FORCES!!!
Big thank you to our loyal, disciplined, orderly, brave, and most of all *heroic* military. This is awesome. Patriotic things like this gotta happen way more often. Especially in places like Disneyland so people in these fun places appreciate cost of freedom to enjoy themselves with whatever in our nation. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very nice arrangement, glad they included the Coast Guard, Semper Paratus, (always prepared). But I always like the Marine Corps Hymn, especially the final verse, "If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heavens scenes, they will find the gates are guarded by United States Marines".
bcwest56, when the Navy sings the Marines' Hymn, we sing "...if the Army and the Air Force ever look on Heaven's shore..." Because Navy folk expect to find Marine sentries on the job.
Thank you to our American Brothers for using ‘Waltzing Matilda’ as the theme song of the 1st Marine Divison. This really reflects on our history fighting the Japanese together as Aussies and Americans.
Veterans are allowed to salute the colors. It's been several years now that that change to the flag code, within the US Code, was changed. I nearly wore my arm out saluting various color guard units at a recent early Veteran's Day parade. I cheated a little and held the salute for the entire, 100+ strong Navy Jr. ROTC unit. When they returned, they saluted me, with sabers and guidons. That was a new experience. But their instructor, a crusty old Chief, made it clear, that was for me.:) I accepted only in the name of all the other veterans. I also went to their staging area and told as many of them as I could "Good Job". Their officer/advisor is a Coastie Commander.
LOL Well I used to be in the marching color guard and swirling the rifle around for about 5 miles wore me out . But I know what you mean saluting for long periods of time sure makes your arm crap Dennis Sylyester
When our Jrotc unit did the Veterans Day parade, I was part of the armed unit. It was so cold and the cold rifle didn’t help. We also had to sing the Air Force cadence. And we confused the band because they were right behind us. Lmfao
Really enjoyed the clip, especially their rendition of Australia's "Walzing Matilda" at the beginning as they marched on and again as they marched off. Our nations have been serving on battlefields together since WW 1.
Just found the answer. Following the Battle of Guadalcanal, the division's Marines were sent to Melbourne, Australia for rest and refit.[12] It was during this time that the division took the traditional Australian folk song "Waltzing Matilda" as its battle hymn. To this day, 1st Division Marines still ship out to this song being played.[13]
Thanks Victor. Walking Matilda is also the quick march for the Australian Army 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and is regarded as unofficial national anthem of Australia. They lyrics of the song were written by Australian Poet Banjo Patterson in 1895. The lyric relate to a swagman (drifter or tramp) who steals a sheep and refuses to be captured by the sheep farmer and mounted police so he jumps into a water hole and drowns. I suspect it appeals to Australia's convict heritage and our readiness to question authority figures.
+bluenose4344 After the battle for Guadalcanal the 1st Division was relieved and sent to Australia to refit before being sent their next objective. They were treated so well by the Aussie's that they adopted Waltzing Matilda as the division song.
I came across this video by accident. The band are playing "Walzing Matilda" at the start which is a very Austrailian song. Abosultely wonderful being and Aussie. Fanstasticsound.
+John Sachse Waltzing Matilda is the official song of the US Marines. "The 1st Marine Division has a particularly rich history with Australia that began in World War II. Marines of the 1st Division were recorded in action by one of Australia’s most famous official war photographers, Damien Parer as they fought the Japanese in the 1940s. Parer was dedicated to documenting the fighting of his comrades and died amidst Japanese gunfire while filming a U.S. Marine advance on the island of Peleliu on Sept. 17, 1944.The division Marines were so influenced by their Australian mates that they adopted a traditional Australian folk song ‘Waltzing Matilda’ to be their battle hymn. This song is still played as the division Marines deploy"
It's quite worthwhile to encourage and sit by valunerable kids kindly and with love. Then, they would surely help us to accomplish the peaceful world with serenity !
As combat trained Marines they have to qualify annually with M-16 and for Staff NCO”s and Officers sometimes Side arm. They still have to maintain physical appearance and fitness standards. Possibly even held to slightly higher standards since they are in the public eye more often. Marine Band members are a special billet that you have to audition for. The Basics of marching are taught at MCRD but these Marines take it to a whole new level. They also perfect with constant practice and public events. The Marine Bands and Honor Guards are in my Opinion another face of the Marine Corps that the public can see often. Makes me proud to tack on my Eagle Globe and Anchor for my flight jacket name patch!
Godbless the United States of America, the Forces of the USA, saved my family from a terrible fate from the forces of Nippon. Robert, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, Malaysia, 1961/63. Forever grateful, Robert, 79yo.
I am proud to be a dingiest die Aussie but am also proud of the American and English armed forces. Ties that can never be broken. God bless to all of you.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder, bunk. The British military has no personality in their parades and ceremonies. Each outfit looks just like every other one. U.S. Marines have spirit and attraction.
not only did the USMC 1st division adopt waltzing matilda as the offical march, they also call any camp that the division sets up camp matilda, being a australian soilder we feel a closer bond to the marines then any other units in the world especially the marines of the 1st division.
I am the proudest mom of my kids. They both serve in The United States Marine Corps! I am so fortunate to be their Mom. Thank you to all who have served our country. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇸
As an Air Force retiree (1978-1998), I could not watch this video with a dry eye! "Stars and Stripes Forever" has GOT to be my favorite Sousa tune. Especially the piccolo solo. Top Notch! If I may be allowed one nit-pick here: I would have liked to have seen the flag ceremony. Hats off to my brothers-in-arms!
Three musical tunes I stand for are the Marine Corps Hymn (USMC veteran) and the USAF Theme (in honor and respect for my grandson USAF member) along with the national anthem.
"Waltzing Matilda" was the first one they played, now I feel like a dinosaur, lol. Walt Disney was all about children and families. He would be so proud of this.
Every Marine band except the Presidents own have to go through the same training as any other Marine (Boot Camp and Marine Combat Training). Don’t forget that “every marine is a rifleman”.
+Josh Billedeaux Not being hateful, but this isnt "The Marine Corps Band" this is the marines first division band. They are often not as good as the "The (brach) Band" players, and often stuck around E-4. Where as "The (branch) Band" fast tracks to E-6. Still decent players though for sure. Its a highly competitive slot.
Sorry, but the band included several sergeants, staff sergeants and I think I saw one master sergeant. You are correct this is not the "President's Own" but the band from a local command. In this case the 1stMarDiv based in Camp Pendleton. There are 12 fleet Marine bands and all members must audition after boot camp and then attend the same schooling. Promotion is not based on being in a fleet band or being in the very select President's Own band. Promotions are based on the needs of the service and your performance as a Marine. Just for your info, during the Vietnam war the 1st Marine Division band deployed with their division and actually went out on night ambushes in and around the Danang area.
Semper Fidelis brother. I also am a Korean combat vet. Exp.Force, Pusan, recon to 1stMars1stBn, 1stMarDiv. Inchon invasion, Wansan to Koto ri, Chosin few, spring offensive relieved in Kimpo in 1951.
Marine Band playing the Army caisson music. Shows how much mutual respect for the other branches....Note “Anchors Away” that despite the trash talk. When it comes down to it a Marine will give you the shirt off their back....and I have done so before.
😮I remember serving in the marines in 1974 & the Army 1976 and to the 1976 to 2007 tours in Iraq I love my job but I became a diabetic and had to retire
Enjoyed this so much. I am first generation Irish here in America, it made me teary eyed listeng to this I think of my mom n dad seeing the stature of liberty for the first time. She loved this country and taught all her children to love it. Thank you marine band

They look so young! Thank you for your service and please be safe out there! 🙏🏿

People don't realize the 1st Marine Division adopted Waltzing Matilda as the official March after regrouping in Australia after Guadalcanal.
Guadalcanal march by Rodgers came later, but is a great testament to the Marines also.
As an Australian, It's very interesting that such a respected drill and ceremonial military service uses Waltzing Matilda. "I march to the same song as the Marines" Is a weird though seeing we're on different sides of the world
The Pacific War was a lot shorter due in no small part to the Aussie Coast Watchers among other things.

Every Marine band except the Presidents own have to go through the same training as any other Marine (Boot Camp and Marine Combat Training). Don’t forget that “every marine is a rifleman”.

I LOVE THE MARINE CORPS BAND AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS ON RUclips THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP¡!!!!!!!
+Josh Billedeaux You're welcome Josh. Thanks for watching.
No prob you are awesome
+Josh Billedeaux Thank you.
+Josh Billedeaux Not being hateful, but this isnt "The Marine Corps Band" this is the marines first division band. They are often not as good as the "The (brach) Band" players, and often stuck around E-4. Where as "The (branch) Band" fast tracks to E-6. Still decent players though for sure. Its a highly competitive slot.
Sorry, but the band included several sergeants, staff sergeants and I think I saw one master sergeant. You are correct this is not the "President's Own" but the band from a local command. In this case the 1stMarDiv based in Camp Pendleton. There are 12 fleet Marine bands and all members must audition after boot camp and then attend the same schooling. Promotion is not based on being in a fleet band or being in the very select President's Own band. Promotions are based on the needs of the service and your performance as a Marine. Just for your info, during the Vietnam war the 1st Marine Division band deployed with their division and actually went out on night ambushes in and around the Danang area.
Great music. I like each of them. They play at Disney Land.

Marine Band playing the Army caisson music. Shows how much mutual respect for the other branches....Note “Anchors Away” that despite the trash talk. When it comes down to it a Marine will give you the shirt off their back....and I have done so before.
The army has it's Green Barets, the navy has it's Seals, an America has Her Marines.
