The history of the unit can be traced to the early days of the Marine Corps. In the 18th and 19th centuries military musicians, or "field musics," provided a means of passing commands to Marines in battle formations. The sound of various drum beats and bugle calls could be easily heard over the noise of the battlefield and signaled Marines to attack the enemy or retire for the evening. Through the 1930's, Marine Corps posts were still authorized a number of buglers and drummers to play the traditional calls and to ring a ship's bell to signal the time.
The United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps was formed in 1934 to augment the United States Marine Band. The unit provided musical support to ceremonies around the nation's capitol and, during World War II, was tasked with Presidential support duties. For this additional role, they were awarded the scarlet and gold breast cord by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which they still proudly display on their uniform.
When the war ended, the Drum & Bugle Corps resumed performing at various military and public ceremonies.
In the early 1950s the unit gained considerable acclaim performing for an increasing number of civilian audiences. Music composed specifically for their unique selection of instruments helped establish their reputation for excellence during this period. These factors also led to the unit's formal designation as "The Commandant's Own”-a title noting their unique status as musicians for the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
In the tradition of their "field music" predecessors, these musicians in "The Commandant's Own" are Marines in the truest sense of the word. Every enlisted member is a graduate of Marine Corps recruit training and is trained in basic infantry skills. Prior to enlisting, each Marine must pass a demanding audition for service in the Drum & Bugle Corps. Following Recruit Training and Marine Combat Training, the Marines are assigned to "The Commandant's Own."
The unit travels the world along with the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and the Official Color Guard of the Marine Corps as the United States Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment.

I’m a little embarrassed that I didn’t know you guys still played on G bugles. 🎶
Sounds great!
I could have written this, but saw your comment. "Wow, still in G?" Sounds great for sure.
Two-valved G bugles at that.
@@mezzrow99 I *think they Just switched to 3 valve in G around Valentine's Day, 2022
@@tjinc-bus4672 not sure exactly when it happened, but yes, they're on 3 valve G bugles now.
ooh rah
This is wonderful. Reminds me of Future Corps.
Yah Future Corps rocked this tune. Just missing the screamers here. All good musicians tho
YES! I was going to comment on that!
Omg I almost forgot about future corps!
amazing!
Magnificent! I love it that at least someone in the Marines has a great sense of fun.
Nice! Always loved watching the Jetsons.
Outstanding!
* Epic mello solo *
Nice job. NOT an easy piece to play either. So congrats for nailing it!
Classic!
What a memory! Thank you.
Great job! Love to hear what you guys would do with Channel One Suite or La Fiesta
Ooohhh yes...Channel One Suite!!! ❤️
Gotta love the G bugles!
Wow👌
Two valves. In G. Amen.
I wish eric was in this and was on the kit
I remember this
Notice it's on 2-valve G Bugles. This is a pretty old video.
They used 2-valve G bugles up until some time in 2022. It may not be as old as you think.
These guys can play anything! Super! :) !!
Yeeeo those contra tubas tho
Thank You for Your Service.
This is awesome. Future Corps screeching arrangement is Hot.
Q: Did Suncoast Sound play Jetsons on retreats around 1984-85 ?
1986 Dutch Boy
Super nice and thank you for your service! I hope you have a country to defend. Currently, Ugh!
Why do all of them only have 2 valves?
They are G Bugles!
@@colepasch2950 damn ok, no need to yell. Im a percussionist, not a horn player. Not my forte dude.
@@colepasch2950 Just being in the key of G doesn't matter. 1990-onwards, 3-valve G horns were competition-legal in civilian corps. The top-action 2-valve G horns came about during Col Crawford's tenure with the D&B and have stayed in place since then as a way to differentiate themselves from the band.
Our inside joke was always "Budget Cuts" ... Marine Corps couldn't afford a third valve. They are chromatic in most of their range and only a 4 notes are missing. The music is arranged to accommodate that.
@@adamj.russell5968 I didn’t think I was yelling, sorry! I didn’t mean to seem like I was!
Well its always nice to see my tax dollars being wasted, thanks gubbermint
Where is EMC?
He can't be in all of them there are hundreds of band members
Future Corps has the better arrangement
Wasn't aware I was watching a future corps video.
WTF was that top note at 1:24?
Weak
@@marinesithlord Well, yeah, I had to rewind it a bunch of times to make sure it was really there.
Who says G bugles can't play in tune.....
👆 These guys.
lmao the horn angles
Casual venue bro don't need the 30° horn angle for everything
