The flute solo by the Corporal was top notch. Professional, enthusiastic and all the time maintaining the highest Military Decorum that Marines have come to be known for.
People don't realize the 1st Marine Division adopted Waltzing Matilda as the official March after regrouping in Australia after Guadalcanal.
Guadalcanal march by Rodgers came later, but is a great testament to the Marines also.
As an Australian, It's very interesting that such a respected drill and ceremonial military service uses Waltzing Matilda. "I march to the same song as the Marines" Is a weird though seeing we're on different sides of the world
The Pacific War was a lot shorter due in no small part to the Aussie Coast Watchers among other things.
USAAF. USAF .
My father was there,,,,
I always get teary eyed when I see the USMC Marching Band especially when they're playing the Marine Hymn
I am a Canadian peace time Veteran And I enjoy all the USA bands. The music and discipline/marching is next to none. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Semper FI.
You want impressive ceremony, you go to the Marines.
When I was in elementary school each morning we stood at our desks placed our right hand over our heart and together we pledged the flag of allegiance and closed with “and justice for all AMEN.”
Yes, I remember those days well. I also remember that, at one point in time, the Gov't took the words "UNDER GOD" out of the pladge!pledge!! They said that it might offend someone. RIDICULOUS
Got a bit of dust in both my eyes? The Marine at the top dead center usually runs the flag retreat for the Disney security detail and is one squared away dude! He is the one guy I seek out every visit shake his hand and thank him. His pride, excitement, and commitment to his current job and his Corp is above reproach. I see people stand taller and with more confidence when he is around. Truly a world class act.
GOT A BIT OF DUST IN BOTH MY EYES THE MARINE AT THE TOP
They look so young! Thank you for your service and please be safe out there! 🙏🏿
Always good to see the Marine Band, especially from Camp Pendleton. 🇺🇸 A USMC, Army veteran. 1986-2012, retired.
William thank you for your service
Thank you for your service!
My cousin was stationed at Pendleton and I remember us driving what seemed like forever just to see him. That was years ago and he STILL calls himself a Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Thank you for your service to ALL military personnel - past, present and future.
Their drill team is outstanding as well. They practice for hours every day.
Enjoyed this so much. I am first generation Irish here in America, it made me teary eyed listeng to this I think of my mom n dad seeing the stature of liberty for the first time. She loved this country and taught all her children to love it. Thank you marine band
Semper Fidelis..!!!
The USMC Hymn will and always be the song I will never ever forget! Sgt USMC..
I always loved watching the Marine Corps Band play
Great to hear the Marines playing Waltzing Matilda. Makes an Aussie proud!
Christopher Murphy after Guadalcanal you hosted our battle strained Marine's very graciously. The Marine Corps plays that Australian March to remember what you did for our Marines.
LOL sweet
Dalton Pritchard Th grateful Australian people knew what the 1st Marine Division did on Guadalcanal , if the Japanese had defeated the Marines,the next step would have been Australia. Since then the 1st Marine Division
Has adopted the song as their official tune,played at all deployments , and changes of command ceremonies.
Playing Waltzing Matilda makes Marines proud. Proud to have fought in the Pacific truly against all odds. Proud to have taken R&R in Australia and to have danced with those lovely Gals from DownUnder while the Australian men were shipped off to Europe. Now that dance part was told to me by two of my uncles. One a Marine and the other Sailer both spent all of their time in the Pacific. My Uncle Shannan married one of those lovely Gals from DownUnder, my aunt Mary. My family is made up of Marines and Sailers all stationed in the Pacific from Hawaii to Guam, Wake Okinawa, and Australia. You know why I say how important Australia was to my family. It's almost like we never left.
The First Marine Division also calls every camp Matilda.
I grew up saying the pledge of allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer every morning as it was played through out our schools over the intercom. I’ve traveled the world and visited many nations and seen some beautiful cultures. The one closets to my heart will always be The United States of America. God blessed me the day I was born in this great country.
That is such a beautiful comment that you wrote. 🇺🇸
Sadly schools don't do pledge of allegiance anymore.
My school does the pledge every day
@@larry-333 yes they do😂
Man I can watch this all day.
As an Aussie I love the tunes of the armed forces. You may already know that some of the Aussie Rules teams use some as their team song. It’s is wonderful to hear them. May God keep all of the me and women of the forces safe.
Thanks for sharing that information with us 🇺🇸
As an Aussie I am also proud that they included Waltzing Matilda in their performance
That was quite possibly the best and most beautiful rendition of "Retreat" I have ever heard. Amazing
Thank you. It may be an old one, but this is the ONLY WAY I got to celebrate Veterans' Day this year, and truthfully, for several years.
ANCHORS AWEIGH
Veterans are allowed to salute the colors. It's been several years now that that change to the flag code, within the US Code, was changed.
I nearly wore my arm out saluting various color guard units at a recent early Veteran's Day parade. I cheated a little and held the salute for the entire, 100+ strong Navy Jr. ROTC unit. When they returned, they saluted me, with sabers and guidons. That was a new experience. But their instructor, a crusty old Chief, made it clear, that was for me.:) I accepted only in the name of all the other veterans. I also went to their staging area and told as many of them as I could "Good Job". Their officer/advisor is a Coastie Commander.
LOL Well I used to be in the marching color guard and swirling the rifle around for about 5 miles wore me out . But I know what you mean saluting for long periods of time sure makes your arm crap Dennis Sylyester
I think this was a great change to the code. It connects us veterans to the current service members and vice versa.
When our Jrotc unit did the Veterans Day parade, I was part of the armed unit. It was so cold and the cold rifle didn’t help. We also had to sing the Air Force cadence. And we confused the band because they were right behind us. Lmfao
Boy Scouts of America members are authorized to salute the colors, which is a very rare permission to be given
Paddy Urchar amháin ONLY in uniform. If in class b, then you give the sign of reverence. Otherwise you put your hand on your heart
This band is fantastic. God bless you in all that you do.
As basstrombonist I love the lower brass section of this wonderful orchestra ... Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful music with us. Greetings from the Netherlands
I’m actually lost on that version of retreat....holy hell im speechless
I watched every single minute of his video! God Bless you!
Thank you all veterans
John S
As a retired marine I say you are very welcome 🙏
Your welcome.
Ahhhh yes... 2014, seems like a century ago. How tings have changed, and I pray things will get better. God Bless America.
I came across this video by accident. The band are playing "Walzing Matilda" at the start which is a very Austrailian song. Abosultely wonderful being and Aussie. Fanstasticsound.
+John Sachse Waltzing Matilda is the official song of the US Marines.
"The 1st Marine Division has a particularly rich history with Australia that began in World War II. Marines of the 1st Division were recorded in action by one of Australia’s most famous official war photographers, Damien Parer as they fought the Japanese in the 1940s. Parer was dedicated to documenting the fighting of his comrades and died amidst Japanese gunfire while filming a U.S. Marine advance on the island of Peleliu on Sept. 17, 1944.The division Marines were so influenced by their Australian mates that they adopted a traditional Australian folk song ‘Waltzing Matilda’ to be their battle hymn. This song is still played as the division Marines deploy"
Very nice arrangement, glad they included the Coast Guard, Semper Paratus, (always prepared). But I always like the Marine Corps Hymn, especially the final verse, "If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heavens scenes, they will find the gates are guarded by United States Marines".
bcwest56, when the Navy sings the Marines' Hymn, we sing "...if the Army and the Air Force ever look on Heaven's shore..." Because Navy folk expect to find Marine sentries on the job.
For the suicide bombers who think that 80 virgins will be waiting for them in heaven, just remember the Marines were there first. Any virgins left?
The Marines are the NAVY 😊
wow! the piccolo sound is amazing!!! Thanks USMC Band. Watching from Pasay City, Philippines 🇵🇭.
That was the most beautiful rendition of evening colors i've ever heard
2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division, RVN 1970-'71. Always and forever my outfit.
The army has it's Green Barets, the navy has it's Seals, an America has Her Marines.

Marines have Raiders

Marines are the Navy's army 😊, The Navy's is the world's strongest fighting force.❤
Marines have their Crayons
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Big thank you to our loyal, disciplined, orderly, brave, and most of all *heroic* military. This is awesome. Patriotic things like this gotta happen way more often. Especially in places like Disneyland so people in these fun places appreciate cost of freedom to enjoy themselves with whatever in our nation. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
De ☆
Note appears in 2014 was when the Marine Corps Changed the Combination Cover for females to the Unisex style. Same cover for
Males and females.
Really enjoyed the clip, especially their rendition of Australia's "Walzing Matilda" at the beginning as they marched on and again as they marched off. Our nations have been serving on battlefields together since WW 1.
Thanks Ashley. That's really interesting. I wonder when it became their official march?
Just found the answer.
Following the Battle of Guadalcanal, the division's Marines were sent to Melbourne, Australia for rest and refit.[12] It was during this time that the division took the traditional Australian folk song "Waltzing Matilda" as its battle hymn. To this day, 1st Division Marines still ship out to this song being played.[13]
Thanks Victor. Walking Matilda is also the quick march for the Australian Army 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and is regarded as unofficial national anthem of Australia. They lyrics of the song were written by Australian Poet Banjo Patterson in 1895. The lyric relate to a swagman (drifter or tramp) who steals a sheep and refuses to be captured by the sheep farmer and mounted police so he jumps into a water hole and drowns. I suspect it appeals to Australia's convict heritage and our readiness to question authority figures.
+bluenose4344 After the battle for Guadalcanal the 1st Division was relieved and sent to Australia to refit before being sent their next objective. They were treated so well by the Aussie's that they adopted Waltzing Matilda as the division song.
Right. And we really appreciate your loyalty as allies. Otherwise, we might not send so many to die in defense of your shoreline. My uncle was there.
The most graceful moves in U.S. military branches. I love and really respect the USMC. Indeed the marines, the few, the proud and the best.
I trust even other branches respect the marines.
Ooh-Rah! God Bless our Veterans!

I enlisted in the marines right out of high school thank you very much

I am the proudest mom of my kids. They both serve in The United States Marine Corps! I am so fortunate to be their Mom.
Thank you to all who have served our country. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇸
These military bands are SEXY! Love them always! Grew up being woken up by military music, when home from boarding school. My father was a military man during WW2.
Hey, thanks man

Semper Fi is not just a saying, but a way of life OooRah! (Korean War Vet)

SEMPER Fidelis brother. My great uncle Charlie was in Korea.
LOVE YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
So, the 10th Anniversary of this particular performance in only 6 months and 2 days away!! I am a PROUD VETERAN of the United States Navy. I guess I am too proud because I just watched it for the 3rd time in the 90 minutes and I end up with tears running down my cheeks 😢😂 They are REAL TEARS TOO. I guess the older I get, the more sentimental I get. GOD BLESS ALL VETERANS, CURRENT,PRESENT, AND PAST, AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES.
ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THIS: ALL GAVE SOME, AND SOME GAVE ALL! I 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 for the ones who had to pay all. I pray that their Sons, Wives, Husbands, their children, and their significant others, that they are living a full and happy life. This got a little long but, I am just SO DAMNED PROUD OF OUR ARMED FORCES!!!
God Bless America
Semper Fidelis
LOVE YOU!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
Godbless the United States of America, the Forces of the USA, saved my family from a terrible fate from the forces of Nippon.

Daddybob God Bless you Sir, and your family.
Marine Band playing the Army caisson music. Shows how much mutual respect for the other branches....Note “Anchors Away” that despite the trash talk. When it comes down to it a Marine will give you the shirt off their back....and I have done so before.
Wonderful stuff. Great that they were playing Waltzing Matilda at the start and end as well, given Australia is one of the US closest allies.
Waltzing Matilda has been the 1st Marine Division's Battle Hymn since they were stationed in Melbourne, Australia during WW2.
I am proud to be a dingiest die Aussie but am also proud of the American and English armed forces. Ties that can never be broken. God bless to all of you.
Thank you to all veterans of the military I love each and every one of you guys

As a retired marine I say to you, you are very welcome 🙏 and much love to you as well
@@raymondbermudez5660 thank you sir that means everything to me
@@raymondbermudez5660 sir I am a grand daughter of a marine and I'd be honored to be your friend
Anitanne Rupe
Hello my friend I hope you are doing well and in great spirits
@@raymondbermudez5660 hi I'm doing fabulous
U.S. Marines ALWAYS make everything look better.
Never heard a bad US Marine Corps band ever
Until compared to Royal Marines
@@finarfin3042 , the Royal Marines suck bilge water.
Unless it’s a parade of the British military. The true masters of ceremonial drill and of military music.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder, bunk. The British military has no personality in their parades and ceremonies. Each outfit looks just like every other one. U.S. Marines have spirit and attraction.
Thank you so much, so beautiful,. U,S, Army
Thank you to our American Brothers for using ‘Waltzing Matilda’ as the theme song of the 1st Marine Divison. This really reflects on our history fighting the Japanese together as Aussies and Americans.
not only did the USMC 1st division adopt waltzing matilda as the offical march, they also call any camp that the division sets up camp matilda, being a australian soilder we feel a closer bond to the marines then any other units in the world especially the marines of the 1st division.
AWESOME VIDEO MARINES
Noticed how all Marines in uniform or civilian attire stand at attention when the Marine’s Hymn is played.
As it should be.
How beautiful! Thank you.
"Waltzing Matilda" was the first one they played, now I feel like a dinosaur, lol. Walt Disney was all about children and families. He would be so proud of this.
I LOVE this video especially the Marine Corps
Wow! Just...wow! Gave me chills! ❤
For those who voted "thumbs down" or left negative comments regarding this wonderful and patriotic UA-cam posting:
*Because of freedom, you are free to express your thoughts or use unsupportive words as you see fit. But, no matter how unkind your words - the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces will honorably strive to guard and defend YOUR freedom without hesitation.*
I am absolutely sorry the meaning of patriotic sacrifice does not touch your heart, and it is sad the cherished sound of freedom represented in this video has fallen upon deafness within your soul.

Semper Fi to all my Brothers and Sisters !
As an Air Force retiree (1978-1998), I could not watch this video with a dry eye! "Stars and Stripes Forever" has GOT to be my favorite Sousa tune. Especially the piccolo solo. Top Notch! If I may be allowed one nit-pick here: I would have liked to have seen the flag ceremony. Hats off to my brothers-in-arms!
Thank you for your service!
Despite their “Dress Blues and Dancing Shoes”.....they are combat trained Marines. That Trumpet could just as easily be a M-16 if needed.
Naa they fucken POGS
Mario Lozano They aren’t, anybody in the military knows how to fire a rifle
I wore that uniform.
Every Marine band except the Presidents own have to go through the same training as any other Marine (Boot Camp and Marine Combat Training). Don’t forget that “every marine is a rifleman”.
Jacob Tomas band instrument in one hand....M16 in the other
GOD BLESS AMERICA MY HOME SWEET HOME
They are all 0311’s, rifleman & (women)! OoRah Marines.. Semper Fi forever!
announcer is Bill Rogers, you can hear him in the background. Love the video, god bless; great music. Army song is in E flat. Love that Key.
I LOVE THE MARINE CORPS BAND AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS ON UA-cam THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP¡!!!!!!!
+Josh Billedeaux You're welcome Josh. Thanks for watching.
No prob you are awesome
+Josh Billedeaux Thank you.
+Josh Billedeaux Not being hateful, but this isnt "The Marine Corps Band" this is the marines first division band. They are often not as good as the "The (brach) Band" players, and often stuck around E-4. Where as "The (branch) Band" fast tracks to E-6. Still decent players though for sure. Its a highly competitive slot.
Sorry, but the band included several sergeants, staff sergeants and I think I saw one master sergeant. You are correct this is not the "President's Own" but the band from a local command. In this case the 1stMarDiv based in Camp Pendleton. There are 12 fleet Marine bands and all members must audition after boot camp and then attend the same schooling. Promotion is not based on being in a fleet band or being in the very select President's Own band. Promotions are based on the needs of the service and your performance as a Marine. Just for your info, during the Vietnam war the 1st Marine Division band deployed with their division and actually went out on night ambushes in and around the Danang area.
As combat trained Marines they have to qualify annually with M-16 and for Staff NCO”s and Officers sometimes Side arm. They still have to maintain physical appearance and fitness standards. Possibly even held to slightly higher standards since they are in the public eye more often. Marine Band members are a special billet that you have to audition for. The Basics of marching are taught at MCRD but these Marines take it to a whole new level. They also perfect with constant practice and public events. The Marine Bands and Honor Guards are in my
Opinion another face of the Marine Corps that the public can see often. Makes me proud to tack on my Eagle Globe and Anchor for my flight jacket name patch!
Very well done Marines. Semper Fi GySgt USMC Retired
Well done! Thanks for posting!
You're welcome. Always a pleasure to film this fine band every chance I get.
Well done Marines...!!
Always good to see the Marines
I AM A DISABLED MARINE AND I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Semper, hang in there broadie
Notice the jarheads are the only ones saluting the retiring of the colors? Oh Rah marines
""To the Colors" is a bugle call which is played when no band is available, or if ceremonies requiring more than one honor occur. It is given all of the courtesies as the National Anthem. The Marines and several veterans in the crowd were correct in saluting, although it was a little difficult to pick out the bugle call in that orchestrated version. The Navy enlisted guy started to salute, but then dropped it when his buddy wasn't saluting. It would have been a little easier to follow if they had played the National Anthem while the colors were being retired.
The bugle call played before the National Anthem was Retreat, not To the Colors.
Marines not in uniform do not salute during raising or lowering the colors. They stand at attention facing the flag.
I was station at Camp Pendleton in 1972 to 1975 then I went to Okinawa in 1975 to 1976
I was station at Camp Lejeune (Afghanistan 2007 -2011
Damn Marines look soooo good! Semper Fi Devil Dogs!
Disney needs to bring this back😂 I’d go on Veterans Day to see the presidents own on Main Street any day of the week
grew up among us navy and us marine from the old subic naval base, philippines. this brings a lot of fond memories. thank you for sharing
Good work, guys, from an old Air Force weenie!

My late great uncle would be proud he lost his life in the second World War he was only 19 years old
I love this video very very much and I hope you can make more videos like this please
LOVE IT!!! 🇺🇸
I love this country , I just wish there was more justice .
Three musical tunes I stand for are the Marine Corps Hymn (USMC veteran) and the USAF Theme (in honor and respect for my grandson USAF member) along with the national anthem.
As a Navy vet with my only grandson a Marine. I stand for them all.
Walt would have been very happy. Hope this never changes.
LOW BRASS REPRESENTING!
