I just love this; I will listen to instrumental music over lyrical songs. When I was little, I would listen to music and put routines together as if I was a figure skater and yeeeessssss as a little girl in the early 80s in the middle of the summer I would don on my skates and skate on my wood floor. I knew I was doing a no-no but at least I didn't toe pick the floor. Oh to be young and having to sand the floor by hand to learn a lesson was worth it.
Yes, awaiting the concert. I actually joined Royal Marines Band and 50 years ago this year, and went on to have whole career in music right up to today . I am now the music teacher in an international school in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman having played and taught percussion and keyboards around the world.
Fantastic! As the former Drummajor Drums and Fifes Royal Netherlands Marine Corps (2004-2007) I am stunned by this fantastic production of the Royal Marines Band Service! The music, the performances of the musicians and especially the Corp of Drums, the beautiful images, the 40th remembrance of The Falklands 1982-2022. Goosebumps... I salute you, Per Mare Per Terram & Qua Patet Orbis.
Superb there is no other place in the world that can present the excellent standard artistry precision etc in music that England does. THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY EVENING.
What A FANTASTIC CONCERT, VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER, HER MAGESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND MUST BE VERY PROUD OF CITIZENS , MAGNIFICENT TODAY I FEEL PROUD OF MY BRITISH EXPERIENCE BOTH BITTER AND SWEET , LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.
Went to this concert .... so amazing .. so fantastic... so emotional... went with my son who wants to be a Royal Marine ,,, inspirational event .. will live long in the memory . My son got his programme signed by Katie Derham on the train home ..
My wife and I attended this concert. The musicianship of these Royal Marine Musicians was fantastic. I am ex Royal Navy and must be honest that whilst serving I never appreciated how brilliant the Band of the Royal Marines were. What can I say .....bring it on Royal. We'll be back!
I never knew that it was possible for the Military to produce such a high quality of sound, this was unbelievable, powerful and at times deeply moving. Thank you for sharing this on UA-cam!!!!!💥💯👌👌👌👌
Absolutely brilliant concert !!! Thank you for your support of Ukraine !!!💙💛Sincerely Chief of the National University of Taras Shevchenko Military Band major Yurii Kopach! Slava Ukraini !!!✊
Well done . Excellent . Great musical entertainment by HM Band of The Royal Marines . Nice laser beams display . Film documentaries , speeches and explanations . And great piece of tribute to the Falkland Island's on their 40th Anniversary of the liberation of the British Island's . Generally amazingly beautifully all very well composed !

I remember, circa late 1980s to early 1990s, hanging out for hours on end at Oxford Books in Atlanta, Georgia USA. Someone I would often run across there was a fine fellow of some repute, and part time resident of Atlanta at the time, Sir Elton John. I found him to be a treasure trove of knowledge about literature and history, and I thoroughly enjoyed his company. We never talked about his music or anyone else's for that matter, even though I was thoroughly a fan of his, and I owned a copy of every album he had recorded up until that time. I am a great admirer of The Bands of HM Royal Marines and Sir Elton John and this You Tube video was indeed very, very special to me. It literally brought tears to my eyes.
I've just finished watching it. I was left speechless! One of the best shows I've seen in my life, and I'm 66! I was quite emotional in several passages. Well done. BRAVO !
Amazing concert… again… I hope one day I will be there. But untill that time, i’m very thankfull for the streaming on UA-cam. Real nice video-production. It will have been a big difference from last year when there was no audience. very nice to see how this was 1 big party again!
I was at the concert it was truly amazing brought tears a few times throughout the evening. All the armed service are hero’s but the Royal Marines are elite beyond. Respect all that serve and keep us safe.
England, a magnificent people and a magnificent Kingdom. I'm Canadian and two generations of my family have fought for her and I would do the same without hesitation.
I have just finished watching this great performance in Port Vincent, South Australia post perfomance. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations to all performers.
After 9/11, the band played the US national anthem and it certainly gave me the chills watching it on TV, during my nation’s darkest days and I got those same chills when they just played the Ukrainian national anthem during their darkest times. Such a touching moment. This band is incredible. God bless you Britain and you Ukraine.❤️🤍💙🇬🇧🇺🇦💙💛 love from 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Did you know that Her Late Majesty EIIR ordered the Coldstream Guards to play our Star Spangled Banner at the changing of the guard at Buckingham and Windsor the day after 9/11. She also held a memorial service in St Paul's Cathedral in London for the victims of 9/11. UK citizens were in both of the towers... RIP Your Majesty
Magnifique spectacle pour les yeux et les oreilles ! Je n'y ai pas assisté personnellement mais le Jubilée de Platine de la Reine Elisabeth II était grandiose sur les 5 jours de mon séjour à Londres ! Merci pour ce voyage inoubliable !
Brilliant, ab-so-lute-ly brilliant. It brought tears to my eyes. 55 years ago I was taught to play a cornet by RM instructors, and I'm still proudly playing in Melbourne, Australia.
Amazing again! Professional throughout, from the everyone on the band to audio/video production. During the outstanding performance of Brothers in Arms, can't stop thinking about Ukraine and the fear soldiers on both sides must be facing in the trenches and fights every day of this terrible war in Europe. Sam McIndoe singing and expression makes my eyes full of tears of emotion, once again.
I have enjoyed the festival great 👍 👌 vocalists grounding your instruments and using your voices, solo instrumentalists marvelous Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
This was absolutely amazing. Probably the best one yet. Just loved hearing Sam Mcindoe singing again, she has an amazing voice, her singing Brother Beyond even bought a tear to my eye, just such an emotional song. As always the best Band in the World.
You just plalin done it yet again! So proud of you all, I'll be waiting again.,next year! My Musical night of the year! Believe me your Concert will be watched many times between now and then! All I can say, for now is Thank You, Thank You all Brilliant!
WOW! AWESOME! Best concert I've been to! TKU from an American! I am truly amazed. My uncle was in the US North Carolina National Guard Band, so I can look back on his service here with even more pride. What an inspiration you ALL are!
Cracking concert shipmates. As a former member of the RMBS (1979-2004) it's great to see the standard being improved upon time-after-time. Keep up the great work.
A great festival, I keep viewing - especially Brothers in Arms, such a significant piece played so sympathetically on guitar by Andy and sung with great emotion by Samantha (watch her eyes).
As a bugler who played kit,having just watched"I Feel Pretty"its nice to hear a great arrangement,and playing, after listening to Buddy Rich and his band playing the arrangement for the last 50 yrs+.Very nice indeed. Pete Law as below😇🥁

There’s not a living band apart from maybe the Guards that can touch the Royal Marines, and certainly not their drummers. Before people jump down my throat, this comment is made in recognition of the quality of some of the other military bands. This just serves to emphasize that the RMs are operating at a completely different level!!
Great performances all round - amazing top class musicians and vocalists- but to hear my wee angel Sam McIndoe and her Buddy Hannah Smither sing again just made my night complete and - happy nights with Sarah Paxton on piano-at least the military do Uk proud even if our politicians fail us.
What a fabulous Concert, the performance by the three Main Bands with a few key personnel from the Royal Band augmented was superb. Plus an audience made the experience so much more enjoyable. The Corps of Drums feature with the different uniforms from years ago was excellent and very interesting. Since leaving this review, I have bought the CD.
Once again the Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines provided us with a fantastic evening of music. I am watching it for the third time (can’t get enough of it!) but have taken time out to send this comment. For the first time this year I was lucky enough to be present at the Royal Albert Hall for this performance - and what a truly memorable evening it was, from the highly emotional opening to the finale. Congratulations and compliments to the musicians and everybody involved in the production of this great festival of music. I’ve already got the date in my diary for next year’s festival. However, in the meantime, I have your 24/7 ‘live’ Channel to keep me entertained! I am also looking forward to attending the Beating Retreat ceremony performed by the Massed Bands of HM’s Royal Marines next Thursday. See you all there!
This Is Absolutelyu AMAZING I Could NOT Be Any PROUDER Of THe Navy AS My Late Father Had "A Classified Top Position & Top Rank" Within The Royal Navy & My Mother Is A Royal Navy Wren & Is Still Very Much Connected To The Royal Navy She Will LOVE Seeing This Thank You From THe Bottom Of Our Hearts For Creating This Spectactular You All Are TOTALLY AMAZING!!! WE As "A Royal Navy Family" & "A Whole Military Family" Are VERY VERY PROUD Of You All :) :) :)
I don't normally comment about videos, but I can't contain myself - this is a pure joy to watch and listen too!!! I've been following the Royal Marine Band videos for a few months and this was first rate! I'm not a big Sir Elton John fan, but this arrangement of his music was my favorite of this performance - the whole band was having a good time! BdCSgt Gordon Carter's sax solo was heavenly, BdCpl Sam Mcindoe was brilliant on 'Rocket Man' (and her eyes put a lump in my throat on 'Brothers in Arms'), BdCpl Brian Lloyd was the star of the show as 'Sir John" on 'Saturday Night' (the flute section was really into it), and BdLCpl Kirsty Haines was adorable as ever (is that her sister playing flute -third from the end?). Also, BdLCpl Hannah Smithers dreamy rendition of 'At Last' had me captivated. As a US Navy veteran, all I can say is BZ to the Royal Marine Band!!! By the way, my two degrees in music pale in comparison to the talent I have heard and seen here!
leftenant .colnel james bircham is it?..at 1:45:13..what a star. no silly posh accents as you would expect from senior officers, sounds cockney and knows his job. Respect Sir.
I really like your segment of the music where you depicted the undeclared war between you and the Argentinians. I was a LT. (equivalent to a captain in the army) serving onboard a US nuclear submarine at the time. I happened to be in Norfolk at the time, making ready for a spec op when your forces were detached to regain control of your sovereign territory. I agree totally with what you did in response to the invasion. And I like the music you used to commemorate it. I was saddened by the deaths, on both sides, but at the time, that was sort of the business I was in. War is never a good thing, but like it or not, that is why nations crumble or survive. Even now as we watch Russia invade the Ukraine, whoo. But I know a lot of the history between those two nations. Anyway I wish I could have been there watching your great performance. Cheers, from a Yank. :) btw I had the privilege of dining on one of your frigates while in Halifax, Nova Scotia (I even toasted the Queen as seems you do on board the ships) and also on a diesel boat (non nuclear submarine) while in Cape Canaveral Fl. I spoke with many of the crew while I got a tour. You have a top notch navy. No doubt about it.
Another spectacular performance by the Royal Marines Band Service. They keep raising the bar and making sure that there is something for everyone in their performance. How can they improve on this performance next year?……….they will.
Who started cutting onions @1:35:40? That MK Masterpiece was played as they carried my friend Chris Dunsmore's flag-draped coffin into church after he was K.I.A. in Iraq. Rest Easy, Brothers

I just love this; I will listen to instrumental music over lyrical songs. When I was little, I would listen to music and put routines together as if I was a figure skater and yeeeessssss as a little girl in the early 80s in the middle of the summer I would don on my skates and skate on my wood floor. I knew I was doing a no-no but at least I didn't toe pick the floor. Oh to be young and having to sand the floor by hand to learn a lesson was worth it.
Thank you for your service
How wonderful to see, again, 100% professionals doing a 100% job. Nobody comes near 'em!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant concert nothing better than the Royal Marines band the best military in all the world. Makes me so proud to be British,
They are one of many great military bands in the world. Maybe the best in your eyes, but even they would consider other bands as their equals.
Just love Sam voice so soothing top work by all thank you all for what you do
