Band of HM Royal Marines (England) am Basel Tattoo 2010 in der Kaserne Basel

[@brianneale2006]

you cannot beat the Royal Marines for marching and playing and their drumming is out of this world so precise.

[@quedgeleyboy]

Glorious, the best military band in the world. Thank you for posting

[@mike04535]

@milton bonet. As an ex Royal Marine myself I can assure you that band personnel undergo basic infantry training, small arms training and are required to reach a high level of fitness. As well as a musical training they also train as medics and drivers and other support roles. They serve in the same conflict zones as the Commandos. The most recent being Afghanistan. Evidence of their service in conflict zones are the medals on their chests. These are real Marines, not musicians dressed to look like Marines.

[@Bobfp3]

[@cogidubnus1953]

Yes but to be fair to the original poster, (according to him at least), the US Navy has full-time paid pansies in their drill team...

[@andrewmcmillan3787]

mike04535 I have to agree with you fully. I'm ex Stoker .yes they can play a bit of music but also March and fight. Nothing but respect for them and all Royals

Yes, I know I am displaying the unit patch of the 173rd Airborne Brigade (my fathers Army combat unit patch from Vietnam) instead of my own Eagle, Globe and Anchor. I was in the U.S. Marine Corps from '86-'90 and never deployed anywhere other than a Wisconsin Army N.G. base (Ft. McCoy) for 12 weeks of Cold Weather training for our deploying to Norway for 3 months the next year. I did not get to deploy as my discharge was right in the middle of the deployment. So, no combat for me... I absolutely love the bands uniforms, they make my Marine Corps Band look like a really nice high school marching band. The music is just perfect and even the "wind up toy soldier" motion the drummers just make me smile. Great job my brother and sister Marines of Great Britain...

[@richardbritton9654]

Musicians are not Royal Marine Commandos, or they were not when I was a Marine, but they are Royal Marines who are infantry trained and trained to do many more jobs beside their music. On rear and forward basis they go into theaters of war and are required to stand to if the need arises. Their music is inspirational. They are the public face of the Royal Marines and do a wonderful all round job........Well done Lads and Lasses! There were no women in the RM when I was Marine, much has changed!

My father served 23years in the Royal Marines, when I was borne he was away with the Fleet to South Africa, he didn't see me until I was almost a year. War broke out 1939, April 1940 the Plymouth Royal Marines were sent to Norway. Germans had already invaded Norway. At least Dad came back. 🇳🇴

At 1:17 "A Life on the Ocean Wave" finishes and the commentator talks for a few seconds before the next song can be heard coming in at !:28. The song is "I Vow To Thee My Country" or if you prefer "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst.

[@CardinalsAdelaide]

Far out, England/English used to be used to refer to all of the UK and other countries in turn used that as well. That some people still do is not intended as an insult at all. Toughen up for goodness sake.

[@peterfeltham5612]

Of course you are right Dewi,but many from abroad have difficulty in understanding this,and with the rise in the past 30yrs or so of what at times can be a very unpleasant and at times infantile nationalism,particularly in Scotland,attitudes are beginning to change in England.It's all very sad,but in Scotland they can't seem to make their mind up between jealousy or hatred,and more and more feel that if they cannot face up to thier own demons it's time for them to leave.Being half Welsh,I think and hope they don't allow themselves to so easily conned.

Sadly you are misinformed. RM bandsmen are frontline forces first. They receive full marines training first ,and are bandsmen second. This is common practice in the UK. My grandfather was a combat medic in WWI in an infantry regiment, he was also a member of the Regimental band. He was invalided out with a sabre wound.
