As a US Marine also, I stand with Christopher, "Semper Fi" brother. The UK military bands are tops bar none the others are 2nd best, I can watch them every day and never get bored!

That was AMAZING! I’m American, about 2/3rds English descent, come over with the Pilgrims and the Puritans, and what ever leftover Limey genes that still remain were ready to jump up and sing “God Save the King” by the end. I had no intention of sitting all the way through this YouTube video, but I’m glad I did.What we’re there—280? 300 of you? All perfectly performed! That was remarkable! Bravo!

From the USA, I always look forward to watching and hearing the Royal Marines Band. Truly remarkable talented and dedicated performances. Britain can very rightfully be proud of their Royal Marines Band and The Royal Marines. I'm grateful that I can watch these events from thousands of miles away in Texas.

That first song was taught to us in grade school (primary school). Beautiful colours and beating.

What an astounding display of History, this kind of thing isn't made up by some wanna be Movie director, this display is written in stone an honest homage to those that went before them. ❤❤❤

Why can't our politicians be as professional 😢,god bless our armed forces past and present 🙏

I attended this event and it was brilliant. The one fly in the ointment was the use use of timpani. They were deafening and overpowered the band from close quarters. Nevertheless, I shall be back next year. 👍

There is truly something to be said regarding the Pomp, Ceremony, and Traditions of the Brittish military services .

The discipline of the RM is on another level. It makes me so proud that they are ours.
