This is the tempo I’ve always played and conducted Colonel Bogey at - 120 beats per minute. Without looking, I am relatively certain the conductor’s score is marked at 119 bpm. Although I have seen notes on the piece over the past 50+ years stating this march can be played in half time at 69 bpm, or in double time at 238 bpm. I find it most amusing to note that whenever I have suggested playing the piece in double time, there usually comes from the French horn and trumpet sections a great flurry of agonous murmurs of pain combined with a multitude of guffaws, all the while the remaining members of the band are roaring in fits of hysteria or seemingly transported to the USS Enterprise and are no longer with us in spirit or mind. However, the snare drum personnel are already quietly tapping their part out at 238 bpm, just waiting for the baton to drop.
I timed it at about 106 BPM, not much slower than usual British march tempo of 112. American marches usually go at 120 BPM. Circus marches go as fast as you can play them, plus 10%.
Great job all around! Lovely version! Super congrats to the trombonist! Amazing embouchure to hit those high notes and make them sound so clean and easy! Kudos to all.
This US Navy band is fantastic, thank you, I listen and watch this video over and over, reminded me of my dad that played the trombone in the military way back in the 50's.
@@Dryhten1801 It was when we were mainly traavelling around in army wagons or trains .Everyone of us in battle dress and armed with a o.303 Lee Enfield rifle or a Bren gun. We often spent a few days a year in army camps after we were 14.
Just saw the movie last night. They did this number twice: first when the British POWs under Nicholson march into the camp, which included Arnold's counter melody. Second time when the bridge had been completed and the POWs marched over it in what looks to have been a ceremonial procession.
The tone of the navy band's wind band is polite and smooth. As always, it's lovely. In Japan, the sound of trumpets is especially broken. Noise condition. America is amazing. I want to learn.
The tune reached huge fame when it was used in the Bridge over the River Kwai movie. The US Navy worked on the railroad. The survivors of the sinking of the USN Houston worked alongside Australians who were also captured in Java along with a Texas national guard unit, the 131st Artillery - the Army Museum in Austin Texas has a fitting tribute to these fine sailors and soldiers.
It should be mentioned that no American ever worked on that bridge. They may have worked on the railroad, but never the bridge. The bridge building and destruction was British through and through. This rendition of Colonel Bogey is much closer to the original than the tune in the movie.
@@bgg4865 the destruction of the bridge was not as as depicted in the movie but rather mostly by USAF bombers. My father wrote letters home describing on full moon nights the USAF would fly in and bomb the bridge.
It was British soldiers depicted in the movie and British soldiers who built the bridge. Not only that but "Colonel Bogey" is a British march that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts, a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth. Talk about Americans rewriting history!
@Kaiserbill99 Who is rewriting history? You're jumping to a conclusion. Captured Allied prisoners from all over worked on different sections of the line. Nobody is saying they had any part of building the bridge. That was done by a corps of British POWs. They also sabotaged it. US bombers helped keep it from being repaired.
Sorry. That should read French Horn player. Stupid me. I love this rendition of a tune I once led a town procession as a single player on cornet where I played the parts played by these fellows. At age 13, I knew this lovely march backwards, all parts. The town band wasn't prepared to do the gig, so my dad volunteered us - my younger brother on side drum, my dad on base drum and me on cornet for what the band would have played all of which is heard here. I'm 75 now, and it's one of the highlights of my life. I envy these men. One they're in the Navy (which my Dad refused to sign my midshipman school application because Vietnam was being plotted) and two, they play like angels. There is a God after all. I've played this clip so many times I've lost count. And it gets better every time. Up the Navy!! Up bandsmen!
This is a fantastic arrangement that proves five instruments sans percussion actually improves on an original of probably twenty or more musicians. Well done. There's a chord I would have liked to hear. Assuming this was charted in 4/4, it occurs around the sixth measure of the first chorus. It's apparent in the original but not here.
College….that is the life for me….college….VFMA JC!!!!!! We sang that every time we marched to it…often under our breath. The close-ups are a real lesson in different embouchures.
Muito bem, maravilha, aprecio essa música há muitos anos. Ouvindo em 13 01 2023, em São José dos Campos SP. Pedro Soares de Alvarenga, 75 anos. Abraços a todos.
Wonderful!!!! The tuba player is amazing in his relaxed casual composure throughout the entire performance, even while others are emotionally expressive in their playing. Beautiful job by all.
I was in the Band when I was in school. We won lot of trophies during Brass Band competition held in Gorai Mumbai. Colonel Boogey was my fav❤. And The Liberty Bell, and Old Comrades. Rocking my Trombone. Those days never gonna come back. 😟
Excellent delightful March . We have booked to watch and listen to the Royal Marines Band in Cornwall UK ❤, Which is a great start to the Christmas season.
I love this piece, one of the most beautiful pieces, I've heard the tounging on the trumpet is especially hard to do.. Good luck to all the bands playing this for sports day.
Lyrics: “Hitler, has only got one ball, Goering has two but very small, Himmler has something similar, And old Joe Goebbels has no balls at all!” I sing along every time I hear it!
@@tachikomakusanagi3744 Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Albert Hall His mother, the dirty bugger Chopped it off when Hitler was small She threw it into the apple tree The wind blew it into the deep sea Where the fishes got out their dishes And ate scallops and bollocks for tea
I never knew what this song was called. When I was a child in the 1960’s we sang a version that went like this: Comet It makes your mouth turn green Comet It tastes like gasoline Comet It makes you vomit So get some Comet And vomit Today! I like your version MUCH better!
@@wandawilkinson9239 us brits have a much better version Hitler has only got one ball Göring has two but very small Himmler is rather sim'lar But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Albert Hall His mother, the dirty bugger Cut off the other, when he was only small She threw it into the apple tree It fell in to the deep blue sea The fishes got out their dishes And had scallops and bollocks for tea
This is the way I remember it from when I was a child: 🎵Comet is made of gasoline Comet will make your nose turn green Comet will make you vomit So buy some Comet And vomit, today! 🎶
Congratulations.... Beautiful performance. We have Brass Quintet in Departure of Police from São Paulo, Brazil and I'd like to know the possibility of receive this sheet music for we play here. Grateful.

This slightly-slower than usual tempo is more elegant, and fits the music so much better.
Select your playback speed at will…1.25 very uplifting!

It's a MARCH! It's a good march pace. US Army pace is 110 paces per minute.
@@vdavis4785Google US Army pace. 110 ppm.
US military bands are absolutely insane in execution, clarity and sound. Bravo!
Go Navy. Our daughter re tired from the Navy after 21 yrs on 4/2023😊😊😊😂
God Bless her. From HM1 Vigil Thank her for her service
Love the arrangement! Very clean and well played!
Beautiful, super tuned brass, tradition of American bands

Gentlemen (Chiefs), what a lovely sound! So beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your musical talents, but most of all, Thank You For Serving.
When I was at school in the 1950's we had words to go with that tune about certain German gents. The teachers used to let us sing it..
I dont know how or why but this was still a thing in my primary school (2009-2015)
The boys mainly

Well done but I love the emotion that comes thru when you see it done on screen in the opening of the Bridge over the River Kwai with the whistling.
Just saw the movie last night. They did this number twice: first when the British POWs under Nicholson march into the camp, which included Arnold's counter melody. Second time when the bridge had been completed and the POWs marched over it in what looks to have been a ceremonial procession.
What a marvelous presentation, gentlemen! Loved the slower tempo. Thank you.
What a very solid sound for five musicians.
Excellent performance! BRAVO.

A proper Chiefly version. Very much appreciated.
One of my favourites of the River Kwai🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
What a professional performance of this delightful march. It's to the credit of the Navy that they encourage this sort of magic.
Excellent. Spritely, clean, excellent interpretation. GO NAVY!
Excellent arrangement, giving the melody to each instrument in turn. Et excellente exécution évidemment. Bravo de Montréal.
Great tone
Great relaxed style - and some fingering I've never heard before. Magic! Thanks.
Maravillosa interpretacion exelentes musicon argentina
Such a lovely tune. We used to get marched around the drill square with this blasting out. AND we had to whistle along.
Nice arrangement for a brass quintet.

We played this in my high school band, but I'm old enough to remember the commercials that sang "Winners warm up with Malt-o-Meal" to that tune.
Desfilei em 1965 07 de setembro, na cidade de Nova Iguaçú RJ ao. som dessa belíssima marcha ❤ SAUDADES
These guys are the best! Fantastic!
God bless you all. A STANDING OVATION!
Great tunes, sends chills up and down my spine…love it!
Wonderfully done!!
Perfect tempo. Well done.
Excellent delightful March . We have booked to watch and listen to the Royal Marines Band in Cornwall UK ❤,
Which is a great start to the Christmas season.
Just marvellous! Cheers from Australia.
This is the best rendition of this I have ever heard.
OUTSTANDING🤗🤗
Just superb. I love the way they change the mood so subtly
This tune was famous for all videos in maizen history!
Superb, praise indeed from a Pom. Sounds more elegant at the slower tempo, brilliant. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

That was a delight for my ears!
horn sound is very beautiful!
That one guy, reminds me of the grandpa in the movie Up, you know which one.
One of my favorite marches!
Love this
Semplicemente fantastici
Un grandissimo indimenticabile brano!❤🎵🎶🎶🎵🎼🤝💪
Lyrics:
“Hitler, has only got one ball,
Goering has two but very small,
Himmler has something similar,
And old Joe Goebbels has no balls at all!”
I sing along every time I hear it!
Hahaha...hilarious..
Me too. We sang it when i was in Royal Canadian Army Cadets Training Camp.
Rommel has four or five I guess
No one's quite sure 'bout Rudolph Hess
And Schmeling is always yelling
But poor ole Goebbels has no balls at all
@@zr3755 I'm sure we're all missing something about the Albert hall here
@@tachikomakusanagi3744 Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger
Chopped it off when Hitler was small
She threw it into the apple tree
The wind blew it into the deep sea
Where the fishes got out their dishes
And ate scallops and bollocks for tea
It"s an old and beautiful march!
So beautiful performance!!!
Well played with out drums
Beautiful music
I just love that music I see the soldiers marching down the street, the Kings guards.
I've heard this song so many times before, but I never knew what it was called until I just randomly got this video just now.
Only 5 players making this amazing sound.
Very Great 👍🏻
The look on the Trombone players face is Hysterical. His eyes bug out with each note and he looks terrified.
Professionally done.Love it
Ran cross country while whistling band music. Only turned a 6:30 mile for ten and fifteen mile runs.
Beautiful!thank you
Beautiful.
Concentration at its best!
So beautiful. Sounds like a wow
Very good!
I've always loved that song.
Excellent playing, excellent composition - England’s equal to JPS.
Super. Pierre de Nouvelle Zélande 😀😀😄😄
I never knew what this song was called. When I was a child in the 1960’s we sang a version that went like this:
Comet
It makes your mouth turn green
Comet
It tastes like gasoline
Comet
It makes you vomit
So get some Comet
And vomit
Today!
I like your version MUCH better!
We sang that too! In Wichita, Kansas, which had many, many World W II vets.
@@wandawilkinson9239 us brits have a much better version
Hitler has only got one ball
Göring has two but very small
Himmler is rather sim'lar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all
Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger
Cut off the other, when he was only small
She threw it into the apple tree
It fell in to the deep blue sea
The fishes got out their dishes
And had scallops and bollocks for tea
There is also "Winners, warm-up with Malt-O-Meal..."
This is the way I remember it from when I was a child:
🎵Comet is made of gasoline
Comet will make your nose turn green
Comet will make you vomit
So buy some Comet
And vomit, today! 🎶
Lovely ,even after decades
Smooth! Nice job
Very clean
I hope one day to visit this museum,
Excellent job
Perfect!
Toda un legendaria marcha militar en pode escuchar con gran deleite.
I can't help but think about "The Bridge on the River Kwai".
Que bien tocan, me encanta.
🇧🇷 BRASIL, 21/02/2024. Parabéns a banda da marinha dos EUA.
impressive! Thanks.
