Your welcome! Thank you so much for your service! 🙏🏼

As an Aussie it causes me to smile that the divisional March is Waltzing Matilda

[@woodrowelmore2521]

The first Marine Division was the first American unit sent to the Pacific. The TV series "Pacific" does a good job in showing the pros and cons of their arrival. the Marines adopted Waltzing Maltilida as their unit march.

[@_Boz]

When the 1st MarDiv left Guadalcanal in December 1942. The Division was sent to Melbourne for R&R. The citizens of the two cities opened their hearts and homes to the Yank Marines. The 1st MarDiv adopted 'Waltzing Matilda ' as the divisions Battle song. It is still played today during morning colors and when any regiment deploys. 0311 G/2/5 An Hoa RVN 1968-69 1st MarDiv 'Blue Diamond'!

Absolutely love this arrangement of Retreat. Chills every time.

Chicken skin (goose bumps) watching and listening. America The Beautiful did it for me. Always tear up whenever I hear this sung. WOW!!! and kudos to the Marine singing. Wish she was facing camera.

[@chuckeberth4370]

I never get tired of watching the U.S. Marine Band.

Low brass killed it. Great performance guys.

[@jimheckert5383]

The Marine directing the band appears to be a Sargent. Quite an accomplishment! Great performance Marines. Thanks

[@danmahler9063]

Agreed. In the early 60's I remember between 12 and 15 Staff NCO's in the 1st Marine Division Band. One of them (E-7) was the staff arranger who often conducted. Two others, who did not play, were the instrument repairman (E-7) and drum major (E-6). All others Staff NCO's were players. The band director was a Chief Warrant Officer-4. He definitely would have conducted at this level of public performance. In this 2021 band, it looks like the Drum Major is the only Staff NCO. The first few frames of this video shows a CWO-2 who is likely the Band Director. It seems odd that he is not conducting and a true complement that he tasked it to the Sergent.

[@trombone113]

Most likely he conducted the evening concert. Something small like this is usually assigned to an NCO. Also, depending on the rank, the band will only field the same rank they are playing for. For example, at an NCO graduation, only sergeants and below will be on the field. No SNCO's or the band officer..

[@danmahler9063]

The 1st Marine Division was activated February 1st 1941. It is the oldest, largest, and with nine Presidential Unit Citations, the most decorated division in the United States Marine Corps. This First Marine Division Band performance represents the proud tradition of all men a women who have gone before them. They play well, in general, march with precision (arm swing varies) and they maintain excellent military bearing. Bravo! Marine Corp Dress Blues Class "A" is the appropriate attire for an Independence Day Celebration and flag ceremony. This band is wearing Dress Blues Class "D." Class "A" is a hotter uniform worn on a hot day but the tradition of the Corps and significance of the day demands the highest respect.

When you see American Military marching you know, unlike totalitarian States, they don't look like robots doing what they do out of fear, but look like Folks that can act together and can also think individually.

Are you saying that America is a totalitarian state?

Why do some marines not have a red stripe on their trousers?

[@yuritarted984]

It's because only NCOs can wear them it's called a blood stripe it's to honour marines fallen in the Battle of Chapultepec

[@Bruce-1956]

@@yuritarted984 thanks for the information, I asked that same question somewhere else.

[@danmahler9063]

The blood red stripe on dress blue trousers commemorates the courage and tenacious fighting of the men who fought in the Battle of Chapultepec, September 1847. Private (E-1), Private First Class (E-2), and Lance Corporal (E-3) do not have the red stripe. The first non-commissioned- officer (NCO) rank of Corporal (E4) and all ranks above wear the red stripe.

[@donmcc6573]

It is a rule that I disagree with. E-1 through E-3 shed blood in battle. They should get to wear the stripe as well.

[@ColtinEddy]

@@donmcc6573correct the tradition comes specifically from the battle for Chapultepec where NCO and officer casualties were higher than the lower enlisted, it’s seen as a right of passage and a reminder for leadership of the burden of leadership
