Royal Marines Band in Birmingham (freedom of Birmingham parade) 

I'm very proud to be a former Royal Marines Commando.

Nothing quite like marching behind a band of the Royal Marines,

Had to watch twice. The band enters the scene and they are 5 wide, I call them ranks. They make a sharp left turn (more than 90 degrees) and suddenly are 3 ranks wide. Like magic. March on a bit and left turn on a street and are 5 wide again, Then street narrows and are 3 wide and suddenly 5 wide again! Like magic, without a misstep. They are the Royal Marine Band after all.

Sorry for the slight audio problem... that bass drum was anatomic! And my phone couldn't handle it 😑

Proud to be British and the US Marine didn’t look out of place

How smart are the returned , former Royal Marines. Bloody smart and can still march!

Yep march with pride and a sense of duty. Much love from Australia x

One of the best military bands in the world! Semper Fi from the U.S.

That drum Corp is absolutely flawless!! What a treat for Birmingham to have such a performance. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻

As a trumpeter who does parades, I fkn love watching and listening to these guys

Just look at the way that Drum Major holds, and flourishes his mace. No other Drum Majors in the British Services have the same class. Elbows high up, and hand pointing straight down . That's unique to the Royal Marines. Best Service bands in the Country.

I miss playing with WMFS Band so much... We played these marches toooooo.

Thanks for posting, excellent marching music top notch my favourite band, even though one is here in NZ can't get enough Kiaora and God Bless.

Absolute precision simply the best military band in the world.

Great video ...... thanks for this. This RM Drum Major is extremely smart and precise and has a very good military bearing and style that is good to see ...... if it's not D/M Mace, then it looks very much like him with the way he performs. (D/M Mace has got to be the most professional D/M the Royal Marines have had for a very long time) ... The RM Band is superb and very professional in their musical abilities and marching. Great to see and listen to ...... The RM Guard are also excellent. Well Done those guys. SuperNutkin

Britain at its best

Great show. Only the best. Their ties to U.S. Marines accentuated with a USMC officer hearing up a platoon. Nice touch.

Sound is the key..ultimate weapon

excellent camera work! video is so clear set it makes you feel at your actually there

Outstanding! Loved it.

The band is great, as always. Marchers do a fine job. Too bad this event was in February. Scheduling it for a warmer month would have generated a larger crowd along the route.

;-) Royal Salute. Divine Blessings.

Fuck i love the Royal Marines band, They sound and look amazing.

감사드립니다.

Great video! Thank you for posting.

Callum Blair ty for posting this video its one of the ones I ain't seen yet all the tunes r drummed into me head as u have seen that many lol

Thanks for listing the drum solos, often overlooked. I did hear "Pompey " called at 5:16 and Cosgrove though :)

Welcome to Brum.

@12:37 Interesting to see a US Marine Corps Officer in charge of a RN detachment. I wonder if he was the same Officer in charge of a Detachment at the last parade for the Late Prince Philip as Captain General at Buckingham Palace in August 2017?

Dear old Brum doesn't come badly either.

hi callum, shame i couldnt make it, but never mind, good video mate, looking forward to seeing you at mountbatten in 3 weeks mate - marc

Royal Marines Drum Major ; I like the way he swings his arm to a certain height, but not TOO high, unlike some other RM Drum Majors and Guards Drum Majors, plus the fact he keeps his arm STRAIGHT ...... there's nothing worse than seeing a D/Major swinging his arm too high and is also bent at the elbow, instead of being ram-rod straight. It's called the "boomerang arm" and looks as though the arm has just arrived independently from Australia. Numerous Drum Majors are guilty of this and I can comment with some authority, especially after personally seeing the likes of really great RM Drum Majors in the past, and many years ago, such as Drum Majors Geoff Knox, Charlie Bowden, Colin Bowden, Dave Dawson, Dave Buchanan, Andy Crofts, Alfie Laming, John Porter and others. The Coldstream Guards Drum Major, Steven Ward, from many years ago, was a legend and one of the finest Guards D/M's I've ever seen. If you could get an old video of this guy, you will be impressed. Anyway, at last, we now have two superb RM Drum Majors in the likes of D/M Mace and now this guy, D/M Cartwright. The Scotland RM Band D/M is also quite good ..... SuperNutkin

Great music.Be autiful parade

So proud !!

Wait isn’t that a us marine captain at 12:36

Great band.

Don't see many of our Muslim community supporting our Marines? In fact,NONE

The last squad, why was there women in it? They looked a mess, especially middle-rank at the rear. I know it sounds sexist to some, but women should not be allowed to wear the uniform of the Royal Marines, except for the band service.
