    It's always great, all of it. The Marines, dress blues, the great music and precision...but then there's that first step. There's just something rousing when they all step off...."We're the United States Marines, and we're here!" God bless one and all, and thank you for the awesome video!

    This is the best rendition of "March Grandioso" that I can find anywhere. Having the trombones out front just gives the march a fullness that you can't get in any other version available.

      There is another reason for having trombones out front. It's so they don't poke the person in front of them in the rear with their slide.

      I grew up in a T or R family.
      I decorated floats for 18 years until I was old enough to be a T of R member.
      2021 is my 39th parade.
      I still stand taller, and the tears flow when I hear the Marines coming!
      I typically have been up for a week and have had no sleep a couple of days before the Parade.
      When I hear the Marines, I know it is New Year's!
      (The band as well as the flyover!)
      As far as I am concerned -
      BEST BAND EVER!
      When you look up perfection in the dictionary,
      The Marine Band shows up -
      especially when they take the corner!
      Absolute Perfection!
      Thank you for your service, and I am glad you got to experience The Rose Parade!
      Happy New Year to you and your family.

    I always thought the Marine Band performed in red uniforms. Does anyone know why they're blue here?

      Jacob Hoss The red, if I am not mistaken is used exclusively for concert and mainly used back east for the commandants own.

      Jacob Hoss Im pretty sure the red is for "The presidents own". I might be wrong.

      +Jacob Hoss Red Uniforms are The President's Own in DC. The Marine Drum and Bugle Corps in DC also wears a different red uniform jacket.

      "The President's Own" US Marine Band and "The Commandant's Own" Marine Drum and Bugle Corps wear red. There are also 10 field bands (3 of them performing here together) that wear the traditional blue uniform.
