Stars and Stripes Forever | US Marine Corps Band | The Bands of HM Royal Marines 

To our American kinfolk across the pond, YOU will always be "our brother's in arms" We enjoy having you all in the UK. May God bless our American Brother's and my homeland the United Kingdom.

For my dad who fought in both Europe and the Pacific theaters in WWII and passed away on Veteran’s Day, I say thank you.

Absolutely brilliant, as a former British Soldier it was an honour to have served alongside The United States Marines in Iraq & Afghanistan.

I dedicate this to my 5 uncles who fought in WW11, two were in England at the time. Also my grandfather was born in England, all of his sons born in the US fought in the war.

And on the 8th day God made the Marines. Army guy here, thank you for posting. My son is USAF. We all love America.

I’m glad the RU-vid algorithm brought this to me this morning. It was truly an honor to perform with the Royal Marines as a US Marine.

As someone from a US Navy and Marine family, it was amazing when the UK invited us to do this, and our brotherhood could not be explained simply, I would gladly die for both if given the chance. God bless our nations.

Outstanding!!! America will never forget the United Kingdom standing with us during our time of great need after the 9-11-01 attacks when you played our national anthem and during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲

USMC, one of the most beautiful dress uniforms in the world. 👍

Played at the speed intended by Sousa, by the band it was written for. Love the way the trumpets and trombones held their horns properly, too.

If you can't enjoy Stars and Stripes Forever played by a good band, you're probably dead. Thanks USMC, and salute to the Royal Marines.

Thank you Marines! You did the US, the Corps, and John Phillips Sousa all very proud, and gave this American a smile and a happy tear.

Honor to the Marines and to all the armed forces of that great country which is the United States of America. I served in the military for 14 years as a medical officer and had the honor of knowing them. Unfortunately, I also have a tragic memory: I was present in Lebanon in 1983 when the tragic attack occurred and I was able to lend my assistance as a surgeon.

You know what I love best about watching these Marines preform? Is the 'fact' that each and everyone of them does this so very well, and that they are as ready to pick up arms and defend this country under this Constitution as it was written! Within and without these boarders! Not to man, one party, or wanabe dictator! If you want to bring tears to the eyes of a U.S. Marine, just show him another Marine doing his part in service to this country. Be it on the parade ground field or, the field of battle, I guaranty those who live in this country are in the best hands you can be! Semper fi brothers and sisters of the Corps! Stay true, stay safe, I got your back, I know you've got mine!

One of the greatest marches ever written.

What an honor for a Marine divisional band to play in such hallowed ground.

So proud to see the US Marines perform in the UK! They did an incredible job! ❤️🇺🇸

I am US Navy retired 1973 to 1993. The United States Marine Corps band is such an outstanding unit and the performance of John Philip Sousa‘s Stars & Stripes forever was performed in a flawless and most professional manner. The pride and professionalism of each and every member of the band are true ambassadors of our nation to the world.

I love the US Marine Corps..............our brothers in arms !

I'm a US Navy vet but I LOVE the Marines!

What a great performance. BRAVO!! Absolute American classic all the way. Thanks to the Marine Corps Band. You are perfection. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

For some reason this made me emotional. Especially when the Marines did the slow march. How incredible.

A beautiful composition by Mr. Sousa and played perfectly by this Marine Band. It is right and just that it is the national march of the United States .

What a privilege it is to watch and hear our wonderful US marines. Semper Fi

Красивый марш! И музыканты молодцы!

Precision marching as only THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORP can do, Semper Fi.

Never will the Royal Manine Band be beaten. As the 82 year old son of a 45 Commando It makes me proud of my Dad.

Wonderful both bands playing together in unity and our shared bond w/ea other!

My late wonderful Dad served in the US Army Corps of Engineers in WW2. He spoke little about it, except when I asked once about whether he worked with other Engineers. Then he couldn't stop talking about the great British engineers. They were the warmest, most generous, hardest working guys and he cherished the memories all b his life. May we always be worthy 3:52 of such steadfast friends.

Once a Marine always a Marine. Makes me proud to have served in the Corps for four years on active duty and one year in the active reserves!

Eyes front SALUTE! From a old British soldier, noble nation the Americans.

I loved marching to this in parades as an U.S. Army Infantryman when i was younger.

I'm the very proud grandmother of two Marine's and a granddaughter in law in the Marine's

These marching hymns, when you hear them played, remind you of the days when there was a great deal of patriotism and national pride. Their purpose was to boost morale. ❤

notice a distinct Marine step with the heel coming down first. great military and parade tradition. also uniforms are great in style.

I have heard this song played quite a few times, while myself was a Active Duty Marine. Love It Ooh-Rah and SEMPER FI to all my Marine Btotheers and Sisters. TY

Outstanding. It is great to be an American and enjoy hearing our lovely bands play these beautiful songs. Keep yourselves safe in this crazy world of ours. (CA)

Loved the stern look on the Gunnery Sergeant Drum Major's face. Great performance by the band.

Когда играет живой духовой оркестр - это ПРАЗДНИК ДЛЯ ДУШИ И СЛУХА!!! СПАСИБО!!!

magnifique !........super .....merci

ah and that counter melody with those precious piccolos

Semper Fi

I just love Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever! ❤️🇺🇸

I love seeing this sort of thing where our US allies come across and join our amazing British Armed Forces in a show of unity, pride, stoicism, and strength. There should be so much more of this.

The thing about this Ｕ.Ｓ. Ｍarine band: these are REAL MARINES.

I cant imagine how many hrs of practice that took. I was expecting the Sousaphones to get thrown in the air like M-1 rifles!!! Mr. Sousa was CERTAINLTLY smiling down on that!!! Stars and Stripes composed on Christmas Day!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Sousa was great if you cant march to his music you cant march. Nice rendition guys

As a retired U.S. Army SNCO, my deepest respect to our Brothers and Sisters in Arms across the water. I have fond memories of shared hardships “ in the suck” with our British Comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan. Forever may we stand together! Rule Britannia! God Bless the United States!🇺🇸 🇬🇧

Ils sont forts ces américains 👍🤙🇺🇸🇫🇷

I knew an ex-Marine. He served honorably for two years and they tried hard to persuade him to stay. He could have had a highly successful career in the service, but his heart was not really in the military. Being in the Marines still had a profound impact on the rest of his life.

Every time I hear that March I get chills. Our municipal band plays it every 4th of July with 2 outstanding piccolo players. Our band in Long Beach is the oldest municipal band in the US. Hearing the Marine Corps Band play it with their marching skills on display is wonderful.

I'm former Navy and worked closely with my Marine brothers in the helicopter community for over 8 years and they are just awesome! Go Marines!!

My oh my! May God bless the USMC & HM Royal Marines.

Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right It waves forever.

Great sound system whoever did it,thanks...

Felt the chills on the Stars and Stripes!!! Terrific bands!!!

Two peoples never truly separated...

My favorite

Stars and Stripes sure makes me proud American! I served in the Navy, this was played at my graduation from basic training.

Fantastic. The 2nd Divvy Band aquitted itself with distinction along with their compatriots.

God bless America and the UK-all of you, our precious “cousins,” and know how much we love and respect you. ❤️🇺🇸✨🇬🇧❤️

America needs more like J P Sousa. Where are they ? Supper band I will always be grateful to be an AMERICAN . Hail to America.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy that was great. America is great. If that does not give you the giant goose bumps nothing will.

I have Marines, Army, Navy in my family. And you should see us on football game day. Talk about a riot!

Have trained at Lejeune off and on as an overseas guest. Always impressed and made welcome. The US Leathernecks and the British Bootnecks share much more than a similar nickname, I always felt.

Fantastic..As the Marines are in every way. Thank you to the HM Royal Marines also. Salute to all.🇺🇸🇬🇧

The 2nd Marine Division Band is OUTSTANDING! So impressive with their marching precision and STILL not missing a note from Sousa's Classic.

Brilliantly performed immaculate drill.

The Few The Proud the MARINES !

Motivate me! I spent almost 8 years in the Corps and got out in 1980. I still love it. I’m proud to say my three sons were also Marines. SEMPER FI!

SO glad to hear this as it was intended. As a March!!!

All marching hymns are my favorite songs beginning from the time I heard about these marvelous hymns.

Great rendition John Phillip Souza would be proud!!!! Good job to the USMC!!!!!!!!!!!

*I Love Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever".* This stirring song has been mined of its many flowing, and dramatic sections; ending up in any march that you've *ever* heard.

Absolutely Beautiful 🤩.. very great piece of music from Sir JP Sousa .. thank you to all for this wonderful moment .. love so much this

When it comes to cover and alignment you will find none better than the members of the US Marine Band. They accomplish this all while playing instruments at a very high level.

not simply a Sousa March ...... but by an Act of Congress on May 14, 1987 (the centennial date of the first performance of the song) the National March of the USA

Great!! I’m Army 71-74 but loved it from Marine Corps band!!

God love em

Formação e evoluções perfeitas! Admirável coordenação, garbo arte e marcialidade jamais vista no mundo! Beautiful!...Gorgeous!...

Very impressive. Lifts the spirit that America still a great country. Rosa Larsen

God bless the fighting men and women of the United States and His Majesties Military! Defending freedom everywhere is a universal job.

Semper Fi!

Souza, the master.

Looming in the back ground lay the "300 pound gorilla" would loved to have heard them play this number. I expect it would have been terrific!

Even the band shows that it can Fire And Maneuver!

Thank you for your service Semper Fi

How nice, I enjoyed this very much! A great band! A delightful combination for me, personally. My family on my father's side came to America from Britain in the 1700's. They were Quakers.

Brillante!!!!

That bit where they were marching in hesitation step - a very typical British pace - was primo!

Shame…, in tears think our Ww2 Dad.., so inspired by the courage, unity and discipline he saw in to fighting units.., he played military marches in our house all his dads… How he never pushed us to join..? Definitely get that the military was the making of him..🙏🌹

I Love the sense of purpose the US marines March with!

The Stars and Stripes Forever, my favourite Sousa march, beautifully performed. There is another great version by Mr. Aker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band from the 60's.

Im so amazed this marching band...👏👏👏👏

I loved watching this young marine corps band.they perform. Excellent

Outstanding parade !! Love you all May God bless you ! From Montevideo, Uruguay !!

Amazing USMC.

Teach your children music appreciation. Sousa is a great place to begin.

There is only one word that can describe this performance, AWESOME !!!
