A song written by one of their own, inspired by esprit de corps of his fellow Marines singing their hymn, adopted as their official march, and played with pride and precision every single time. Semper Fidelis is not just their motto, it is their creed, their way of life from the day they earn the globe and anchor to the day they die. The pride and legacy of the US Marine Corps is something deserving of great admiration and respect. No matter where my father was in his life he was always proud to be a Marine, and he always stood up for his fellow Marines if they needed a brother.
John Wills because it’s too good for recruitment. There’s something special about the Marines Hymn, part of it being the oldest recorded song in our military’s history and the other part is that it just sounds so amazing. You can feel the electric liberty coursing through your body when you hear it and if leftist propaganda outlets like NBC actually show it, it will turn a lot of their viewers against them and their agenda. So they censor it, and they censor the meaning behind it as well. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli” thats not just a lyric there’s meaning behind it! Along with, “if the Army and the Navy ever look on heavens scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.” If a young man like myself or a woman starving for purpose and discipline in life hears something like that they’ll gravitate towards it naturally and be thankful because of it; regardless of how grueling and torturous it is and regardless of how long the contract is. So the only thing they can do is censor it.
Excellent. Thanks for posting. This video is far better than any television network coverage of this fine band which is usually marred by big-mouth commentators.
Semper Fi!!! OORAH!!!! They sound amazing as always! Thank you for posting. It is so wonderful hearing the crowd cheer for them too. God bless our military, God bless our Marines, and God bless America.
Music213 Thank you as always for an excellent video. There are times when things don't always work out like we hope and think they should, but your work is excellent and you simply excel at your craft. So much more I could say since that day we met at Disneyland 2 years ago....love to chat with you.
We used to practice the week before on the flight line at El Toro. (Gone now) At the beginning of the week there would be F-16's doing flight ops on the strip next to us. Loud as hell. By the end of the week we would be marching and playing on one side then turn around and contiue back to see jets taking off. But we no longer heard them. But I guarantee those young Lt's heard every note of the Marines Hymn!! We weren't playing any louder. At the beginning of the week it is such an open space, that you naturally TRY to play louder. But you end up playing out of tune. Once that is corrected by the end of the week, you easily outplay the jet engines. My first year the Marine Band was NOT the first unit. That changed after Desert Storm as 2 of the 4 bands (including mine) deployed. But that first year the 330 playing member band of Michigan St. was about 1/4 mile ahead of us in the parade. The very first part of the parade is where all the stands and TV cameras are because they want to film all the units go by when they are fresh. So after we got to see the tape after, (yes, it was literally still tape then) and we watched it to critique what we did, we watched the Michigan St. Band go by but all you could hear was The Marine's Hymn. Such a patriotic lot those youngsters were !! Typically we would field about 120 out of 4 50 piece units. This band here is 88. Considerably less. Yet they did a good job.
I'm British and get goose bumps and tears...love the Yanks..so did my late Father..Ex Royal Artillary Crossed rifles..❤
This march was played when I graduated boot camp. It is one of the greats.
This one JPS march is THEE one march that truly gives me 'goosebumps', even much more so that Stars and Stripes Forever

"The Few, The Proud, The Marines."
Semper Fidelis
A salute to all men and women, active and retired in the Armed Forces.
The highlight of the parade, look forward to your posting every year. Thank you.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
My brother served in the Marines during Vietnam War. I am so proud of him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As well as you should be brother!
I don't understand why NBC keeps from showing the Marine band in it's entirety. Every single year. Thanks for the post.
You're welcome. Always, Always look forward to seeing this composite group. To see them in person is really something else!
They probably are not into the military.
John Wills cause NBC are duds

We know why.....
One of the best world wide
No one puts on a parade like Americans. Thanks, Marines.

Thank you once again for your superb band videos on the Rose Parade! The Marine Band is always inspirational! 🇺🇸
You're welcome and I agree. They truly are inspirational!
Thank you for posting this every year! God Bless!
Oh, this is so good!!! Love it!! God bless America!!

Semper Fi to my fellow Marines!
Excelente! Aqui no Brasil as bandas militares não são prestigiadas.
Thank you for sharing! 谢谢您的分享！
Goosebumps. Looking good.
Thanks for the video! Excellent as always!
tarf Thank you 🙏
Semper Fidelis"-sempre linda por um LUSO AMERICANO
Holy Ooorah ...
Every single time I hear that song playing I wish I had been tough enough to be a US Marine. Every. Single. Time.
Thanks
My favorite Sousa piece
Amazing
❤️❤️❤️
SEMPER FI‼️🍻
Honor y Gloria al Ejército de Norteamérica!!!!!!!❣️
Hola buenas. Sabes cómo se llama esa canción, por favor.
God Bless All Marines
Military stuff
I prefer this, the marching version, compared to Sousa’s original cadence. Can’t really explain why, I just do.
Not one bass clarinet :(
Not usually a marching instrument. I'm quite certain you will find some in a concert setting.
I like this band Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band better. I think I'd be bored to death in a military band
Is it because they dance rather than march and all Japanese girls maybe?
