- “The Commandant’s Own” is proud to present their 2021 Winter Guard International exhibition performance entitled “Until Valhalla.”
Finding its origins in Norse Mythology, the phrase “Until Valhalla” has been unofficially adopted by Marines as a motto to pay respect to those fellow warriors who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our great nation.
Explored in 4 movements, "Until Valhalla" features music from composers John Psathas, Björk, Punch Brothers, and Dwayne Rice. Under the direction of Captain Nate Morris, and orchestrated by Sgt Garrett Churchey, Sgt Tyler Hildreth, GySgt Jason L. Pena, and Dr. Matt Jordan, we hope you enjoy.

The history of the unit can be traced to the early days of the Marine Corps. In the 18th and 19th centuries military musicians, or "field musics," provided a means of passing commands to Marines in battle formations. The sound of various drum beats and bugle calls could be easily heard over the noise of the battlefield and signaled Marines to attack the enemy or retire for the evening. Through the 1930's, Marine Corps posts were still authorized a number of buglers and drummers to play the traditional calls and to ring a ship's bell to signal the time.
The United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps was formed in 1934 to augment the United States Marine Band. The unit provided musical support to ceremonies around the nation's capitol and, during World War II, was tasked with Presidential support duties. For this additional role, they were awarded the scarlet and gold breast cord by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which they still proudly display on their uniform.
When the war ended, the Drum & Bugle Corps resumed performing at various military and public ceremonies.
In the early 1950s the unit gained considerable acclaim performing for an increasing number of civilian audiences. Music composed specifically for their unique selection of instruments helped establish their reputation for excellence during this period. These factors also led to the unit's formal designation as "The Commandant's Own”-a title noting their unique status as musicians for the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
In the tradition of their "field music" predecessors, these musicians in "The Commandant's Own" are Marines in the truest sense of the word. Every enlisted member is a graduate of Marine Corps recruit training and is trained in basic infantry skills. Prior to enlisting, each Marine must pass a demanding audition for service in the Drum & Bugle Corps. Following Recruit Training and Marine Combat Training, the Marines are assigned to "The Commandant's Own."
The unit travels the world along with the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon and the Official Color Guard of the Marine Corps as the United States Marine Corps Battle Color Detachment.
This was a very cool performance to be a part of! But why can’t anyone find me? I’m right there.
bass 1?
Bass 4 but it was a little challenge finding you without your glasses.
Let me guess: synth
Yooooo Eric with no glasses
Bass 4?
There’s something truly incredible about a line playing clean music, full of virtuosic flourishes - but without a hint of exaggerated over-performance. There’s a level of confidence and execution here that speaks for itself.
That snare tuning is absolutely juicy
Yes they actually sound like snares. Most corps snares are tuned so tight anymore there is no snare sound and they are really dead
@@massmike11 I agree. What heads are they using?
Finally. My dreams for the D&B drum line came to fruition. It only took 30 years from me joining. Fabulous job! So proud of all of you!
Agree, Greg. Semper Fi, brother. Spectacular performance.
America loves it's Marines
Agree totally, Greg. Good stuff! :) !!
What are you talking about?!
Proud to say my son is a member of the Commandant's Own! Well done Marines!
The ghost notes at 7:08 just made my day 😂
That snare tuning is unreal
LOVE that the full corps and now this indoor group are going in the direction of reflecting the activities more than being a traditional group. Outstanding work!
BUT with traditional uniforms! Please don't change that!!!!
A show of force, creativity, commitment, dynamic control, counterpoint, musicality, and perfection of the art form. Outstanding Marines! Drum Major Martinez, this ensemble brings great pride to all those who had the honor and pleasure to wear that uniform. Congratulations and Semper Fi from the Million Dollar Drumline. Awesome Performance!
Sweet 6 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus, they’re all as good as Eric, the whole stage full of them!
The tuning is on all the drums is AMAZING
Absolutely beautiful❤ The Commandant's Own will always be a dream group of mine
I remember bitd is was ok to watch the D&B and the drum line, but man, does any realize how far this program has come? Really proud of the organization and the direction it keeps going. A hearty Bravo Zulu is in order! Great job to all!
Wow. I am beyond impressed and in awe of this performance! Such an amazing job with the writing, arrangement and production. This is everything I wish we were doing while I was on this line in 10-14. To every member who persevered through the unit's command changes, thank you so much for pushing this to the level we all knew it could be. Definitely looking forward to future productions!
Gods blessings to you all. Thankful for young Americans such as yourselves.
So nice that this is published before Saturday's WGI finals on Flomarching! Great music, Great Editing!
I've never heard this song before, but it's so good! I feel like I'm in the woods on a cloudy day.
Amazing. Really enjoyed every note of that tune. Especially loved the split bass rolls.
That was absolutely kick ass! Awesome performance with outstanding production value! It is great to see how far the drum line has evolved over the decades and how you produce such an awesome video. Proud to have been a member of the line back in the day! Oorah Marines! '84-'87.
Totally awesome
I just love this I’m not a musician but I love music and I’m a marine !
The parts with the ghosts are so cool, like 7:08
Fantastic. Truly top tier ensemble, guys. The USMC battery is criminally underrated (and the pit too!)
My indoor season just ended I hope we’re as good as you are some day
Extremely well trained, precise, and beautiful!!
Well done, gentlemen.
Well put together this is the strong the brave the MARINES 🤩
Hell yeah man.
Beautiful!
That opening roll was tasty!
I’d love to see this into a marching performance
Heck yeah! Beautifully done.
6:53 found Eric bass 4
Why isn’t he on tenor
WOW! Awesome performance!
this would bring a tear to Chesty. RAH
YES SIR!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very nice!
Ah, so this is waht emc was talking about on his insta
Edit: nevermind i dont know wut im talking about lol
Amazing!
Very cool guys
Amazing!!
Even the camera operators and director didn't tick.
That was amazing, nice to see a show from the line this year, hope the pandemmy ends soon though..
Yuhhhhh 🇺🇸
Tight🔥
Young Skeet!
😏
My mans on bass 4
the fact that eric’s not on tenors
88’s. Eric is playing the 88’s.
Base 4 ?
👀
Plot twist: There's only 5 of them and they have been edited in there a bunch of times
Emc on bass I think
that first roll, snares, mmmmmmmmmmm, very tasty.
The Commandants Own ,the last Drum & Bugle Corps left in the land.
Great piece , drum line is expanded . The electric piano not a fan of it but it is a percussion instrument.
If they add other instruments & brass how far are they willing to go.
I always loved them for their purity as a drum corps. Will the electronics be apart of the field show?
We’ve utilized amplification of our front ensemble since 2016 and electronic instruments/sampled sound since 2017. We try to do it only in appropriate and yet still rather conservative ways compared to our DCI counterparts.
Bd1, bd4, or marimba on the far left? All look similar
I wanna play the trumpet in this band so much
Several things wrong with this sentence lol
@@Miyamotospoop13 with the drum and bugle corps, I didn't specify. Sorry
Maybe a G soprano since they are still holding strong to the G bugle traditions.
@c 2I got to march in the waning years of G horns (late 90s). I think they stopped doing major maintenance on our G horns since they knew Bb was coming. Even at that, my corps was one of the last finalists in DCI to make the switch.
WHO THE HELL GAVE THIS A THUMBS DOWN?!!?!?!?
Bass 4 Eric you’re not slick
I’m probably the only one thing this but, where are the logos for the drum heads. I’m 100% sure that the drum are Yamaha. And I’m like a solid 50 to 70% sure the drumheads are evans
As a federal entity, we are required to remove logos and commercial branding where practical as to not overtly give the impression of endorsement of non-federal entities.
2:41 is absolutely nasty omg
Did Eric get cut?
EMC on bass 4
@@oskarfield8696 He is so versatile. I guess they can use him in any position.
4:38 the third tenor, didn't he march Bluecoats???
yes
WHERE IS THE DRUM SET
Does anyone know who writes for this group?
Hi Isiah. I wrote all of the battery music for this show, and all of the sound design and front ensemble music was written by Matt Jordan and Tyler Hildreth.
@@garrettchurchey you all did a wonderful job with it and the ensemble. 👍🏾👍🏾
@@garrettchurchey excellent work. I especially liked the dynamics were actually dynamic - and clean.
Where is Eric??
he on cymbals
Eric on the synthesizer?
Top bass
S,O,S my property in Philippines?,,,...🚨👁️⚕️⚜️📯⚖️🏬🆔😈?
3:19 emc on cymbals?
Brilliant! Bravo! Semper Fi! BUT THE MASKS....UGH!
Imperialist music.. very very interesting..
Y’all INCREDIBLE! Put down the guns and keep drumming 😎
All white too..
Definitely better than George Masons Hip hop video they put out.
Pretending to be warriors while succumbing to the will of tyrants. Shame
Stop with the bells, xylophones and marimbas and such
valhalla isnt't real, only by faith in Jesus Christ is one saved from their sins. God is real is coming back in full power and glory; bringing His Kingdom and judging everyone of us. Please repent and believe in Jesus Christ, who is Lord, otherwise you will perish from your own sins. Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, then raised from the dead on the 3rd day for our justification. Tomorrow is not promised and time is short, please believe in Jesus Christ who gives eternal life to all who believe.
Maybe, but the face diapers tell a different story 😞
nice production...lose the masks
Great skill, terrible sound…insult to Vahallan Marines
What? This was amazing.
Wtf is this
And new for 2021, the Drum and Bugle corps has added a Transgender interpretive dance troupe.
Wow, never knew standing still was considered dancing. And to think I was convinced I hated dancing, guess I’ve been doing it all along. Thanks, you’ve really taught me something about myself today.
@@garrettchurchey haha, no, I am just saying the way that things are going nowadays that that will be next.
You‘re absolutely disgusting. I‘m a Veteran of the German Airforce. I did a great job and loved to be an airman. Unfortunately I am transgender… it is nothing I asked for, it is the way it is.
Have respect for the troops who ever the fuck they are!
Kind regarts SU Wolters, (OR5)
@@mariezoeywolters813 I hope you get better soon.
