The Washington Post March 

Believe or not this always played on the Iranian Radio when the Shah was in power and I loved it as a kid ,

Hi from the UK what a band world class

Cheering from South Korea

I am a flugelhorn player myself. What a beautiful march, played with control by professional military musicians.

2 of my great grandfathers were civil war veterans. I am 86 and a retired Army Officer. Really enjoy military bands.

First Lieutenant Alexandra Borza: It is with pleasure and pride that I watch and here the United States Army Band performance one of the March Kings finest. Carry on!

Now, that's musicianship!! Bravo!!🎺📯🥁🎼

I'm a trombonist and this is definitely one of my top 3 marches ever since we played this in 8th grade. So glad you put this video out. Everybody's amazing and the blend is awesome

Everybody's tone is so good!

I approve of the close up Bari cam. Shed some light on me and my Brethren!

I can't stop listening this great performance. God bless USA.

Wish my father could hear this, he served as a marine. He liked this music very much.

My dad (60’s years old) has a this record and I used to listen to it when I was kid. It was so nostalgic that my childhood memories revived ! Thanks. From Japan 🇯🇵

Perfect intonation and tempo. No surprise coming from the US Army Band. Love it.

This is absolutely fabulous. I have always loved this march. The smile on the conductor's face 0:12 is very uplifting! How could she not, when the band sounds great!

My favorite US March Song, very beautiful and awesome! An Army needs not only good soldiers, weapons and uniforms, they need fantastic music as well! God Bless America!

One of the best marches composed as a marching band.

I enjoyed this I truly did. She, the woman conducting, has a joyful face. I saw her conducting the orchestra and singers singing Battle hymn of Republic. Same look. She seems to truly enjoy this.

I've had this earworm for the last week, knew the tune well due to various march pasts but didn't know the name.....and now I do!!

God bless John Phillip Sousa and The United States of America!!!

I am both an old fart and Army veteran. Dad too was an Army veteran, Army Americal Division Artillery, Guadalcanal. At my age, this is the kind of music I enjoy. Thumbs up.

I’m very impressed with how relaxed the march feels in this performance. It truly gives it a concert feel.

❤❤ My Grandpa would be so proud of this beautiful music. Thank you protecting us and for serves and great music.

I'm an Australian and, as far as I know, we haven't had any composers who wrote marches. I love brass bands, so happily listen to Liberty Bell, Semper Fidelis, Stars and Stripes Forever and the Washington Post. Great performance! ❤

God bless us I love it very beautiful and I enjoy watching this video. Thank you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines

I'm a recently retired MSG in the USA and love what our band brings to the table. I'm glad they are showing emotion as they play. They feel the rhythm and are having fun. In contrast, I looked up the Marine Corps rendition of this splendidly composed jam by Sousa, and they were not as fluid. Plus, we have a lady maestro!

I didn't recognise the name of this piece (having learned it by ear) then clicked on it and was instantly transported to marching in the Memorial Day Parades. Ah, a good time- walking five miles in two or three towns while playing the same song over and over really bonded a bunch of kids. I was on flute, in the back, and couldn't walk straight with the flute straight too!

My dad used to love this song. It has been rendered beautifully, kudos to the performers

John Philip Sousa, one the greatest US patriots

懐かしい！！This march reminds me when I used to play Euphonium in my highschool. From Japan:-)

This is truly outstanding. The musicians are second to none and the conductor's style is superb. Well done!

My Grand father was a retired Philippine Navy, and a war veteran of WW2, He loves to listen this March, when the Philipine Navy Band playing this great march.. he listens always.

My favourite from Sousa.Enjoying this in Turkey!

Schitterend, dit wordt je nooit beu! Kan ik elke dag beluisteren.

Magnifique marche ! Bisou de France à nos amis d' Amérique ♥

Nobody writes marches like Sousa. All-American, through and through.

I played this in band my last concert! I was Oboe 2(although I play flute I'm always on oboe parts), and I have it still memorized lol

Absolutely amazing 😉. God Bless America. We love ❤️ military men & women

I'm from Brazil and I'm a BIG fan of this band. The army is a serious institution ov'r the world and deserves our respect! Congratz for this brilliant group and for this awesome conductor.

This was such a great performance! Ive been always wanting to that this song so badly because it sound so nice. I play the trumpet and so far I’m doing pretty good as well. Im also in advanced middle school band.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! AMERICA FIRST!!! USA!!!

I remember watching the coverage of Ben Bradlee's funeral on C-Span. His casket was escorted out of the church to the tune of The Washington Post--fitting, since he had been the editor of that publication for many years.

Yet another brilliant performance from This US Army Field Band

John Philip Sousa is terrific

Good morning I'm a South korean. Most Koreans think America is a friend and I admire it. In Korea, military service is mandatory, and most men are required to wear military uniforms. I also think of my appreciation and respect for the US military as a former soldier. I like music. By the way, the wonderful appearance of US military band After seeing it, I especially like the US Army Military Band. I like both the US Army, US Army, Navy, US Army Marine Corps, US Army Air Force Military Band. I watched videos of most US Army Military Band of RU-vid. Stunning Scale Performance It is so different and wonderful. Please show me a wonderful

This particular group and maestro, are always a joy to listen, too. My all time favorite Battle Hymn of the Republic done with the vocalists by them, also. Impeccably smooth, sound. It would be nice to know if they had put a cd out with their works.

The Washington Post march is always full of energy, and it is full of energy that seems to symbolize freedom. So I want to listen to it again every time. Most of John Philip's marches are like that. The Washington Post march reminds me of freedom and peace, so I like America.

The musicality here is astounding. Which is particularly difficult to achieve in a march. The subtle use dynamics and style is perfect. Wonderful performance!

Love the military bands and John Phillip Sousa!’

Loved marching to this song. Always looked sharp

The most graceful Washington Post March I've ever heard!

One of the most beautiful renditions of a march. it really touches the most inner fibers of my being

I use to play this in band.

"Reelect Mayor Red Thomas! Progress is his middle name!"

both my grandfathers, great uncle, greatgrandfather, myself, my brother, All Fought for Your Freedom. God Bless The USA!

What got my eye is the minimalistic way in which lt. Borza directs. Very elegant. And the face she makes just before the cymbals crash for the finale. A mixture of joy and "brace yourself, here comes". Very funny.

This sounds absolutely wondrous. It is almost if group of angels picked up band instruments and began to play. I never like listening to military bands play as they are always so harsh, but the Marine, Army, Navy, and Air Force bands are different. The play musically and powerfully, Fantastic.

I LOVE MARCHING BANDS

All of my father's three brothers were US Army vets. As an African American, I so VERY proud of them. I miss them terribly 😢. God Bless the US Army. Juanita G. Cincinnati, Ohio.

Former marching band kid and i remember this as my favorite, i still have respect for Sousa to this day

The dynamic changes are on point. One of my biggest dreams was to play with the air force concert band. I wasn't accepted because of my vision. 😭

I come from generations of proud Army volunteers going back many decades and many wars

You are the kings of military music!

The director, 1st Lt. Alexandra Borza, so beautiful!

The trombones resonating at the end, is marvelous. Along with the rest of the band of course, but the emphasizing of their responding line before the last note, is just astoundingly great.

🦅🇺🇸God bless American🇺🇸🦅 The land of the free

This made me think of my grandpa, He was Sergeant in the Marine Corp and he died a couple weeks ago :( Miss him so much

And Lt Borza is so lovely smiling!

May God blessAmerica! And the conductor with a great smile BravofromTokyo

What a flashback for me! Played this more times than I can remember while in the 9th Infantry Division band, 76-79. Can still see the trombone parts in my head while listening. Lol!

Gonna be playing this one across the pond in our concert rotation. It is my favorite sounding song of all of them.

Fantastic... love it. I was in the Army's 24th Inf Div Band in Augsburg, Germany in '63 and '64 -- great duty...!

My favourite Sousa march, sometimes included in the show ' Showboat ', and with a lady conductor ! Well done everyone, I enjoyed it !

Piece interpreted with a lot of class and delicacy. Bravo et merci Lt. Alexandra Borza !

En Nicaragua, siendo yo adolescente en 1974, era parte de una banda de alto nivel. Y una vez nos llego la partitura de Washington Post. Yo tocaba fliscorno. Hoy tengo 62 y disfruto escuchar este tema,adi como Zacatecas

JoséCarlos - Brasil/RJ MAGNÍFICO.

Such neat and clean playing

I loved it when they played this at my boot-camp graduation #ThunderbirdChallangeProgram

That was excellent !!

First Lieutenant Alexandra Borza, ma'am, you're so beautiful and always smiling, i like you to be my music instructor. Salute to you ma'am.

Eu adoro ouvir esse pessoal tocar qualquer música, às vezes estou chateada e ouvi- Los tocar me enche de energia e me dá vontade de lutar novamente. God bless all you abundantly👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏

thank you for letting me hear this great channel

Fantastic George. Hilliard Dublin. Ireland

Honestly this has to be the most American sounding song ever played

I'm a former military musician from the Korea Army. It's a song that I've loved since I was young and it's a song that I played when I was in the army. It's a really neat performance. The best!

Excellent and stirring Washington Post by Sousa, the "March King" ! My Brother, Uncle, two cousins and myself served in U.S. Army Ill. Nat. Guard, Peacetime 1956-59, Army WW I, and Vietnam. I used to play E flat Bass trombone four years in Band and Orchestra at South Shore High School in Chicago (1961-65) and we played Washington Post, Stars & Stripes Forever, Under the Double Headed Eagle etc. for Assemblies and ROTC Annual Federal Field Inspections and Review ! Our conductor Samuel Gorbach was a big Sousa Fan ! Those Band and Orchestra days are full of fond memories. We performed and provided the musical interlude for the 1962 School reception of Dr. James Dewey Watson of DNA fame who was a 1941 Alumnus of our High School in Chicago ! ARMY the Best ! "May the Caissons keep Rolling Along !"

how my father loves to play band music in our hifi stereo

Great performance, and fantastic camera work. It's refreshing to see a video where you can the fingering, and see the appropriate instrument close-ups at the appropriate times.

I love hearing these marches played with sensitivity and expression rather than the common practice of rushing through them at a sloppy 200bpm.

Listening to stirring music During hard times Reminds One Of Good times.

Great treatment of this march. Light & shade -beautiful

I play the flute and i did this song in 8th-grade band i am now a sophomore in high school and still remember the song by heart as well as the armed forces song. I stopped doing band in school because school was slow at teaching band so I quit and decided to get private lessons and those are better in my opinion to learn for me I am now a 1st chair is a city band.

Love it! Great job guys!

This is my favorite conducter of the US Army Field Band!

God Bless the Great Nation USA and the beautiful Band ❤❤🙏

As always, they are simply the best. Enjoyed immensely, thank you.

Ouvia esse hino nas programações esportivas nas rádios , nos anos 60 ,70 , e 80!

I am forever grateful for the privilege of being able to graduate from Basic Training back in 1985 with a graduation that had the 77th Army band playing. Their music made it even more special.

I only checked out this music due to Hilary Mantel in her novel Every days Mothers Day - she mentions a character right at the end of the story puts it on his deck ,swings open the patio doors, steps out to his garden and listens to this loud booming sound - now I can truly vision the ending of this mystery creepy story and say what a uplifting way to start my day in rainy old Staffordshire England 👏👏
