Colonel Bogey "The River Kwai March" - HM Royal Marine Band - See Description for music! 

Best military band ever Served in 45 and loved every minute. Anytime band plays you listen. Best of all he military bands I.M. H. O.

Marching behind the 'Bandies' is an amazing experience, you feel 10ft tall and so proud. Respect!

In high school my old beat up cornet froze up. The school had just received at least a dozen new instruments, a couple of which were baritone horns. The director handed me one and said, "I know you're gonna miss your cornet, but wait until you play the Colonel Bogey march. You're gonna be proud to be a baritone horn player." In this video, you will prominently see and hear a tuba player being followed by a baritone horn player (carrying silver instruments). Listen to the rich sounds, especially for the last third of the piece. Eventually I went back to trumpet, but I was glad and proud to have played the baritone horn for a while. (The Colonel Bogey march will always have a special place in my heart because of this.)

Magic from one of the best military bands in the world. Thanks Jim.

One of the finest military bands ever existed. Ex Royal Marine 42 Commando, I had the honor & privilege of marching behind the Royal Marines Band.

The "Colonel Bogey March" is a British march that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881-1945) (pen name Kenneth J. Alford), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth.

Hours and Hours of Practice become evident when it comes to marching in step plus playing an instrument in the manner of a professional. Thank you!

Living in America I remember this song from the movie when it first came out and I was whistling it all day.

Dang! I have dim memories of watching the movie at the theatre when I was about four. My parents took me to lots of movies. I hope I behaved! Wonderful, wonderful band. A marching band always brings me to tears.

It's February 21st 2024... Who is watching????❤❤❤❤

Absolutely the finest in the tradition of Marines from around the world. From an old US Marine to my British brothers, brilliantly done! Incidentally, my son is named Trevor Howard. An actor by that name was magnificent in the movie!

This was played everyday in my school for morning assembly...brings back wonderful memories

The bst in the world. From the son of a 45 Marine Commando who served from 1939 to 1946.

Always nice to see the troops out for a stroll while accompanied by a group playing some lovely strolling tunes.

The Band was the 'glue' that held all us Royal Marines together.Thank you 'Bandies', you were/are magnificent.(From an 84 year old,'Royal')

I remember watching the movie in Sao Paulo Brazil around 1958 and the marching scene was so beautiful I was only 9 then, I am now 75 and still remember that day, the first time my dad took me to a movie theater downtown, never forgot it, thanks for the memories!

We watched this movie as many times and we loved its marching band music , Thanks for sharing

Wonderful musicians and the coolest uniforms ever.

It never gets old. Wonderful march, beautifully executed

Holy crap, you even got the coppers marching in cadence when you paraded! Semper Fi from a Marine across the pond from you,.

Outstanding euphonium playing!

Magnificent that's the only word suitable to describe the Royal Marines band and drums.

Brilliant Euph contermelody. Flawlessly done all.

Greetings from Florida 🐬 Thank You 🙏 All 💕 🎶

Loved the movie---didn't know what they were whistling--now I do!!!! I love to see Military Bands --such pride in their Country!!!

Brings back so many memories - being a kid watching the film with my South African dad who fought with Britain in WW 2.

Who's watching now? May 6th 2024!

I won't mess with that bloke in the Green Beret!

The snare drummers playing as tight as they are with white cotton gloves on is amazing. The grip and feel you lose is significant. I was a drummer in my youth and we had to wrap rubber bands around the sticks just to be able to hold onto them.

Una de las mejores marchas del mundo Si vienen extraterrestres y la escuchan , huyen aterrorizados !! Desde Santiago de Chile...oyendo y marchando 😊

I can never hear this without thinking "Hitler has only got one ball".

It's March 12,2024 im lustening man!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🙋🙋

I remember as a teenager in the 1980s whenever various British guard regiments would come to Seattle, the Colonel Bogey March was always requested as an encore by the audience. Outstanding.

Not one of the best military bands, the best by far.

Those Brisbane soldiers are outstanding soldiers. I personally trained with the British royal marines, which was a preclude and an honor to have served with thoseatines. Frankt 1st marinediv ,Pendleton.

The best band in the world. I was brought up with this as my late father a 42 commando ❤❤

My absolute favourite...thank u...❤❤❤

heads high, lads. Forget for now all the blood and gore and tears we waded-through. Rest in Peace George O Watson and William Charles Watson until the Resurrection

Lovely to hear Military Bands they life your spirits.

Best MARINES and best band in the world.😊 2:28

Love the marching bands these are trained fighting soldiers who have the skills of a fighter and the delicate skills to produce fine music Good on you lads you make all British proud

One of my most favorite and soul stirring marches.

I was a very young kid, hadn't even started school, when the movie came out. Of course I had no idea about the movie, but I certainly remember the music. It seemed it was everywhere back then.

That part of the film I cried for those Brave soldiers Proud made me proud to be British

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful

I don't know about urban legend but I do know what I've been singing as they've been playing - and getting funny looks as well. I'll never be able to hear this tune again without adding the words. Thanks, I needed the laugh.

Thank you boys.

Great actors, great movie.

Just makes me feel so very proud to be british and for all our superb armed forces regards kevin😊

Loved hearing this!❤

"The Bridge of River Kwai" (1957, Dir. David Lean) um dos melhores filmes de todos os tempos. Música-tema magnífica. Parabéns a banda..

BOGEY Goes into the Annals of history

The best military band on the planet.

Man. Is. The. Most. Elevated. Of. All. Creature.

The best Martial Tune/Band.

Amazing..

This video made me sing along to the music, using the lyrics I learned when I was 8 years old at school. "Comet, it makes your teeth turn green! Comet, it tastes like gasoline! Comet, it makes you vomit! So buy some Comet and vomit with meeeee!"

Just Brilliant.

Gran marcha! De uno de los mejores filmes de su genero! Alberto

DANG !!!! WHOA !!! Salute, USN Machines' Mate.......

If you haven't seen the film, you must put it in the top of your queue. It's that good.

This march was a part of my childhood here in the Philippines. Almost always, the march that they play during fiestas. Then my father owned a long playing record of marches that included this. I haven't heard this for a long time, and when I hear it now, I got teary-eyed remembering days past.

Magnificent!!

Magnificent!

Bello, molto bello. Grande banda.

Saya dari Indonesia dan menonton Ini 😊

Knowing the lyrics makes this even more funny
