Meet LCpl Hannah Smither | The Bands of HM Royal Marines 

She’s not a marine. She is in the RM band

Don't be so harsh on your US Marines Band. When serving in UK Royal Marines Band I had the 'privilige'(!!) of spending some time at Camp Lejeune back in the 1972 and your band is as good, technically, as our UK bands are; we just perform slightly differently. UK RMB are THE best at 'pomp' whereas your US Marine Bands are better at, how can we say it, 'showmanship'!!! Come and see us by all means but don't put your guys, and gals, down - they, too, are superb in what they do.

yes that was her.

That gladiator vocal was fantastic...

She was getting married in 2023. Probably explains why she didn't appear as often

Isn't it??

@@nuttysquirrel8574 : Altered!

And the Republic of Ireland

@@davidharris4062 : Yes. As the wise expression goes, "least said soonest mended".

As good as you…I bet!

@chasfleming oh no, I've triggered a male feminist lol. News flash, women have very little upper body strength and are not very good at soldering. Get over it you poof.

@chasfleming aww, the male feminist has been triggered. I bet you couldn't do a pull up to save your life lol.

Oh poor man triggered by women being let in to the band and the marines.

@@thedancinggymnast hahaha ok

They have a secondary role as medics and in particular in dealing with CBRN casualties or as logistics specialists..

I have no words at your ignorance; they are all trained infantry soldiers and deploy to war in their secondary role which can be logistics, medical assistants etc. They deployed to the Falklands, the Gulf and Afghanistan as soldiers just for starters.

@@jacquieclapperton9758 i have no words for your ignorance the british army can barely scrape together 4000 soldiers to fight from its army of 80 thousand pen pushers the 4000 is a fact...the money is wasted in your rear eschelon secondary roles

@@kwanchan6745 The British Army has nothing to do with the Royal Marines. You were corrected about your mistaken belief that the Bandies have no other role than as musicians and are childishly trying to change the subject to avoid taking responsibility for your mistake. Some of us actually served alongside them.

@@jacquieclapperton9758 nice attempt at a straw man argument what you fail to grasp is that the army and the royal marines are supposed to be fighting organisations, esp. the royal marines who are expected to be a tier 1 elite unit they should be focused on honing their fighting skills not their violin or singing skills by spending a significant amount of their time practicing irrelevant skills for their primary role, they put themselves in danger, their team in danger and their country in danger if they want to play the violin or sing...get a job in a civilian orchestra or band imagine a plumbing company encouraging its plumbers to learn the violin half the working day, and charging you for the privilege
