Beating Retreat Royal Marines 2014

[@Perseus7567]

Can I just say - hats off to the US and Netherland's Drum Majors, trying their hardest to go against their own training and perform similar moves to the Royal Marines' DM's. It isn't easy, but they certainly tried, and it went pretty well I'd say. Well done guys! Edit: Especially with the US one exaggerating his arm swing way more than he's trained to, in an attempt to make it look more uniform and disciplined. Hats off to you sir.

[@frankjones9024]

I,m now 72 and served 14 yrs in the RN. I did several public functions with the RM band, and proud to watch this, particularly with Dutch and US allies. Well done. Jonah in Bristol.

@@phoebebrown2883 the Dutch the original marines. So the black trousers are the wrong ones. By the way doesn't your navy have white trousers. The Dutch wear black when in cerimonial tenue.

[@phoebebrown2883]

[@DomRico77]

@@phoebebrown2883 problem is if the U.S. Marines wore their blue trousers it wouldn’t have looked “uniformed” as a good chunk of them are not Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) and would lack the “blood stripe” that runs down the length of NCO trousers. Rather than have them looking odd with some red stripes and others no red stripes, go with white so that everyone looks the same.

I keep coming back to this video for the huge emotional rush of hearing and seeing this massed band play National Emblem. On the move.

[@summerrosesutton3073]

Different style of marching, marching cadence (steps), and different style of music beat if you listen to it and pay attention to it as well. That could account for what people are perceiving as confusion. Regardless, it is truly great to see THREE allies Marines marching together as one mass Unit. KUDOS to them all.

[@Shimshashuii2743]

yes.the british and commonwealth always start with 3 times or 5 times drum beats before start playing the music.this is to give a sign that they start to march.like us,Malaysia,we practise the 3 times drum beats just like the HM Royal Marines.

I think the first march is; "Royal Salute", by Lt Col Richard Waterer HMCRM Director of Music

[@robertwilson123]

An interesting example of the different marching style shown here from the drum majors. The RM drum majors have a pronounced robust arm swing of almost 90° and straight leg march where as the USMC drum majors have a small 30° arm movement and a march where each leg is brought near the centreline to give a slight small step "shuffle".
