WILLIAMS The Cowboys Overture - "The President's Own" United States Marine Band 

Loved it! Well done! This is the Americana side of John Williams that is sometimes overlooked - full of catchy tunes that sound like the mythical West. I think the slower mid-section is particularly beautiful here. You can feel the big sky and wide open expanse of prairie. Another great score of his in the same vein - The Reivers.

JW is right up there with Copland. Great stuff!

Pure Americana! Like Copland. Fantastic!

Just a bunch of bad ass musicians! Simply fantastic!

way to go, oboe soloist!! beautiful!

For those comparing this composition to Copeland’s “Rodeo”, that composition, while fantastic, listen to Elmer Bernstein’s “Magnificent Seven”. There are obvious influences in this piece.

Very, very fine playing. Enjoyed it, thank you

Stunning performance by Outstanding Marines

Certainly gives Aaron Copland a run for his money. Both are masterful.

Sousa would be overwhelmingly proud of the musicianship of this band!

Wonderful performance!

Beautiful, well done

i keep trying to think of who is the best composer for theater that is at the top and then it hit me George m Cohen (also patriotic) you put George m cohan and john williams together you have a great duo but leonard and elmer bernstien (both may not be related) have put out some great scores of their time as well just had to share my 2 cents lol

rehearsing this for the last few months and, aside from it being a rip roaring fun and frenetic piece, it's the challenge of getting through the trouble spots (can anyone spell "sixteenth note furiousness") that makes it worth struggling through in rehearsal.

Williams at his best!

いい時代になりました。楽器を始めた頃は演奏動画なんて、ないのです。素晴らしい演奏を動画で見れることに感謝です。 ありがとうございます🙇

Awesome. And hard to play. Strong work.

I was there!

Seriously thinking about buying the music for the concert band I play with. Plenty of stuff in our library, but not this.

AMAZING

弦バスは左側なんやね

This is so awesome! John Williams would've been honored to know the President's Own did one of his pieces.

Great at times! Good at other times. Missed opportunities of shaping and sculpting lines. More drive needed in places. Technically beautiful! Need more passion!!!! 9:41

Those blue skitrs look a little Victorian dont they

insane

I dont see any violins. The trumpets take over that spot. No french horns

大好きな曲だが日本一般バンドのトップクラスの方がはるかに上手で音楽的に充実してる。 アメリカの軍楽隊は国力のようにスピリットが不足か...

Great performance as always but this song needs to be played by an orchestra, doesn’t do nearly the amount of justice it deserves without the violins

This is the first time in a long time when I have heard so many intonation problems in the upper voices of the reeds, double reeds, and flutes. And there were also issues as if the same were having issues knowing where they were with the score. And the French horns weren't great either its as if they couldn't hear what others were doing when playing with the reeds. Maybe they didn't have enough rehearsal time with the piece. I'll just chalk up to a negative amongst hundreds of positives.
