2013 Inaugural Parade: The U.S. Army Band, Old Guard Fife & Drum Corps, The U.S. Army Field Band

[@spoderman8823]

1:13 - 2:39 Something about hearing only the drums as they march sends a chill down my spine. It's awesome!

[@starmotorsports8937]

Spoder Man I'm in a fife and drum and I am a drummer and it is amazing

[@seamus1956]

The Old Guard of the US Army Third Infantry is one of the United States oldest & most honorable units. They guard at Arlington Nat'l Cemetery & the Tombs of the Unknown. They've participated in every US war since the War of 1812 including units sent to Iraq. Sure, the honor America's history with the Fife & Drum Corps & the historic uniforms, but they are true soldiers who fight for America's freedom. Honoring our past does no dishonor tp our present or endangers our future. Get a clue.

[@dogwoodservicesinc.2972]

Thanks. Well said. I served as a bugler in that unit for five years. Proudly.

[@saxmastergq]

I don't always agree with the policies and practices of our nation's leaders, but seeing these great musicians do there thing makes me damn proud to be an American.

2013 Inaugural Parade: The U.S. Army Band. Old Guard Fife & Drum, The U.S. Army Field Band Published on 23 Jan 2013 The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own," The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and The United States Army Field Band are three of the Army's premier musical units. Here is footage of all three as they participate in the 57th Inaugural Celebration in honor of the 44th President Barack H. Obama on Monday, January 21, 2013. The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" and The Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps march ahead of the parade as components of what is known as the Presidential Escort (goes down the parade route ahead of the President's entourage and ahead of the parade); The U.S. Army Field Band is the first military band that marches in the parade proper--the first of five divisions of the official inaugural parade.

Official inaugural parade.

[@demurevilleneuvewinslet8235]

0:07:30 Man I wish the Army could adopt the gray uniform from West Point for everyone. It looks really dope.

[@lynnclaughton6581]

Our band, the First Army New York Band AKA 26TH Army Band Staten, New York..had a routine established to march around Fort Wadsworth (oldest Army Post in America) at 1 PM 1300 hours unless that interfered with a job we had... Of course we were a lot younger than the members of THE Army Band in DC which tend to be career musicians. Marching more everyday served to keep us in fine shape. I would recommend getting THE Army Band out on the street a whole lot more..work on tightening up those lines. Member's of the Band look to be needing more street marching time..and why not? Good exercise!!

[@XJarhead360]

Reminds of the yearly Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. The announcers keep yakking when the band passes by and we never get to hear the music.

[@user-yj8hw4ro7f]

I have a question. Korea annually designates it as the day of the Armed Forces on October 1 and marches on a large scale like it does now. I wonder if the US military is marching in the city when the president takes office. I want to see the march of US military march. I love the US Army.

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

US doesn't have giant military marches, only during presidential funerals and inaugurations. President Kennedy probably has the most impressive funeral march I've ever seen, I'd look that up.

[@g0679]

남존여비 ... Research smaller parades, if you wish to see a live one. I expect they are held in many US cities and towns, throughout the year. Also look for ceremonies that are open to the public on US Army bases.

[@nathanielsasa]

I think Trump is organizing a Hell March in D.C. soon.

[@torreywilliams6154]

The Terminator I would love to see that. Make it 1991! I wanna see some B2s, tanks, and good marching!

[@anthony_depaz]

Kinda feel bad for the cops, they don’t get to watch the awesome parade and have to stand there staring at the crowd watching them enjoy the parade

[@WEMAN296]

U.S. needs a full on military parade sometime soon. Not just band.

[@Pius-XI]

WEMAN296 No! We really don't.

[@diligentone-six2688]

WEMAN296 The US military doesn't waste time and money on Massive Parades. They make most of the Time Kicking Asses and Protecting our way of life.

[@g0679]

WEMAN296 ... Is it because you miss Red Square? Or do you simply wish for Trump’s pricey, childish desire be placated?

[@benedictcase4290]

An American parade would be shit

[@voxpopuli8957]

Why on Earth would the United States hold a military parade, that kinda thing is more for dictatorships than us.

[@pfc.christianl.3660]

Does anyone know the name of the march/song the Old Guard was playing? Love the way it sounds echoing in the streets. Wish I was there but we had to leave because of traffic 😒...we took the Metro.

[@m.emendez672]

Does anyone know the name of the march/song in 3:20 ! Is Amazing music

[@lewisma5717]

I really wish I knew... it sounds amazing

[@hughdonnelly7183]

I'm unsure but "Tralee Gaol" / "Battle of Yellow Ford" which I stumbled across sounds very similar

[@CesarAlvarengaPaulo]

That´s really amazing ! ! !

[@juucedasf9972]

[@1812AndMore]

It would be nice if we Canadians had an Armed Forces & Military Band parade in our capital of Ottawa just like this when our Prime Minister's get elected.

[@Pius-XI]

1812AndMore You do get a parade...Except yours is in the UK as that's where your head of state resides

[@daybreak1239]

@plus x yep,canada's always been,and always will be a colony of inbred britain.pathetic

[@Bountyhopper]

The are wearing red because the British had a number of different uniforms, mainly the different color of the cuffs and the collar, those 2 parts together were called “facings” so each regiment had a different color facing, and each regiment had there own musicians, but the Color of there uniforms were opposite that the colors of the soldiers, so say the 10th regiment had red coats with yellow facings, there musicians had yellow coats with red facings, so the continental army did the same

[@ericmares8036]

Awesome!

[@AlcyoneSong]

Old Guard are the baddest of the bunch.

CLEVELAND AUGUSTUS DODGE 6 months ago THE UNITED STATES ARMY BAND Let martial note in triumph float And liberty extend its mighty hand A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers, The banner of the Western land. The emblem of the brave and true Its folds protect no tyrant crew; The red and white and starry blue Is freedom's shield and hope. Other nations may deem their flags the best And cheer them with fervid elation But the flag of the North and South and West Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation. Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right It waves forever. Let eagle shriek from lofty peak The never-ending watchword of our land; Let summer breeze waft through the trees The echo of the chorus grand. Sing out for liberty and light, Sing out for freedom and the right. Sing out for Union and its might, O patriotic sons. Other nations may deem their flags the best " And cheer them with fervid elation, But the flag of the North and South and West Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation" AUG 26, 2014

[@davidwarner3326]

The drum majors of the main US service bands wear the bearskin. Yes, it's a throwback to the British.

[@Comander311]

You know... They are still a colony

[@1chish]

[@TheKazioe]

Why does america keep a lot of the part of the military they got from the British. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything just generally wana know.

[@Phobos_Anomaly]

The British heritage is obviously a large part of our history, but almost every nation can trace its roots to another nation, does that mean that they must acknowledge every nation that preceeds or influences them? As far as I can tell, we pay plenty of tribute to our friends and relatives: The United Kingdom.

[@nowthisis2stupid]

+Dan Wood If you are referring the the bearskin caps, those were originally worn by the French, The Grenadier and Napoleon's Imperial guard to be exact... If you are referring to the red coats worn by the fife and drum corps, the blue lapel and red coat are the reverse of the infantryman's coat, which was standard of all European armies. British soldiers of the era, for example wore Red coats with white lapels, their musicians, wore white coats with red trimmings.... All armies of that era wore different variations of the same thing... And, those guidelines were initially set forth by Napoleon himself. So, if you want to be technical, we copied the French, via the British - more or less.

[@Pius-XI]

Dan Wood Does it really matter? It looks and sounds good 😁

[@g0679]

Dan Wood ...We did quit on combat rations of oxtail soup. But some behaviors linger on.
