Finals Night National Anthem by "The Commandant's Own"

DCI Finals Night National Anthem performed by "The Commandant's Own" United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps.

[@ApolyonTheSoulRender]

One of the best national anthems I've ever heard from a marching ensemble. Amazing.

[@Dcb-et4zj]

ApolyonTheSoulRender i was jus thinking the exact same thing

[@christianlkalb]

Coming from an Organist/ Choir Director at my church, the Major has so much feeling for the piece of music in which is being played. His body language is not only showing pride in America but also he is conducting the band as well as the audience. I personally would like to thank him for all that he has done. What a wonderful arrangement!!!!!! This is the Home of the BRAVE!

[@SDNateDawg]

why arent they the ones who perform the national anthem for the super bowl?????

[@MrPhillipABurns]

some things in life we just have to accept.

[@journeythroughtherails5294]

They do the Giant flag

[@infrdarkfire]

We're too obsessed with hiring singers that butcher it.

[@itzdylan7665]

Because the Super Bowl can’t handle the greatness and honor of the Maine Corps.

[@adamblom6868]

Because their red uniforms represent freedom, not Satan

[@DaddyOsInk]

NOTHING sounds like a line of G Bugles played by amazing musicians! It's like a choir of angels singing..... I mean... those overtones!!!!!!!

[@justinnoble6506]

no doubt ... the G bugles in all voices ring like no other

[@ThatWasLoud]

ThatWasClassy

[@paulozambarano6309]

The passion of their major twards the end is just awesome

[@L33M_0]

No one is better than the US marine drum corp. Not even Blue Devils

[@mevaser770]

+Kalim Manigault (iGrungeisntdead10) Agreed. They cream everyone else

[@mevaser770]

+Kalim Manigault (iGrungeisntdead10) Marines are made to succeed at whatever they do. And they live up too it.

[@williamosdborne3396]

Kalim Manigault Yes. Why indeed?

[@itzdylan7665]

What about the US airforce band?

[@Mayhxmmmm]

[@oldtimedrumcorps]

Bugles ; Brighter, Edgy, Projection, Excitement ; heritage ,tradition, purity, honesty. Nuff said

[@oj007]

Still amazing till this day, my dad would love this. As he was a marine himself he still loves the core! Semper fi!

[@JEFF-rx9wj]

I still get chills down my spine when I hear the Star Spangle Banner!

[@onetowatch1111]

God bless Marines!!! The passion Major Dix has awesome. The home of the Brave indeed, Sir.

[@yeti4269]

3:56 That horns down though

[@vifcole]

It's the simple things that make drum corps great.

[@lewiserwin2686]

I have watched this so many times, and it never gets old. As a retired US MARINE, it motivates me to this day. SEMPER FI MARINES !

[@jkujat75]

THANK YOU!!!! To the USMC Drum and BUGLE Corps for keeping the BUGLE in Drum & BUGLE Corps and not following DCI's lead of the new age of Drum and Band Instrument Corps. The unique sound of a hornline using G Bugles is what drew me, and so many others to DCI in the first place. BRING THAT SOUND BACK!

[@patrickpaluga747]

DCI is no longer allowed to be classified as drum and bugle corps. The use of trombones, etc has ended that tradition. Broadway show maybe?

[@daviddavenport1485]

SEMPER FI! OOH RAH!

[@dawnamcelwain7474]

love marching bands. My older brother trombone player and served in the Army band started in high school.

[@phenylmusic]

yeah this is a drum corps not exactly a marching band drum corps is like marching band but squared

[@phenylmusic]

drum corps = marching band^2

[@donnaconrad4297]

Wonderful sound. Love the shine on the cymbals

[@joannesnell2289]

Thank u for serving our country and god bless you all.

[@Dcb-et4zj]

Proud to be an American!!!!! SEMPER FI MARINES!!!!!

[@justinnoble6506]

very choral like...so balanced, smooth, and graceful

[@MrPhillipABurns]

So who made the rule about "drum & bugle corps classification'? . . . . on a more somber note, I think this would be a good time to stand up and praise all young men and women who have given up their summers for the last ? ? how many years ? to march with a corps. Sadly not the case this summer, God bless our musicians ! ! !

[@alexperillo9994]

How bout all them baris. Damn.

[@joannesnell2289]

Awesome concert Boston crusaders and god bless you all.

[@edgarespino3005]

This arrangement and Central Washington University's arrangement are probably the best arrangements I ever herd f the star spangled banner

[@ksgtv1092]

Love this arrangement!

[@JacobHalfman]

Does anyone have that cadence? Jeez i love it but I can't find it transcribed anywhere. I assume its custom to them.

[@officiallyschultz]

Jacob Halfman EMC Productions on KZbin. Eric Carr is a tenor player and has made a video on this, which the cadence is Troop Cadence B.

[@jkujat75]

GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

[@patriotbrassensemble]

Making us proud!

AWESOME!!!!!!

Sinners marching in the summer? Only the innocent play in the summer. We wouldn’t want a summer storm..

[@mindbenderrx]

Pretty cool arrangement

[@alanholck7995]

Wow - G bugles!!

[@lewiserwin2686]

Because it’s so motivating, the Super Bowl will be in second place. They are definitely afraid of that happening

[@dallasyap3064]

Well done marines!

[@gregorypapas9354]

2:00 that guy in back tho...

[@melodicbottle795]

Why did the drum major directed with back away from the corps

[@saxmastergq]

He's also directing the audience, encouraging them to sing.

[@davidwarner3326]

That's the director. The DM is the one saluting. As mentioned, he's directing the crowd.

[@vifcole]

I would love to know who arranged this

[@DrKuddlyTV]

Play a version of their cadence. Proudly call it Marine.

@@davidwarner3326 I mean yeah but did they go through ITB? That’s where riflemen are made. Sure they mighta gone through MCT but that’s a crash course on basic infantry skills

[@Marco-bf4uu]

Boys, that's not an drum and bugle corps.. An drum and bugle corps consists out of drummers and fifers which carry an bugle on their belt.

[@nicholashe1198]

DeutscherSoldat1871 A modern drum and bugle corps has horns, the times of your drum and bugle corps was when they were used in wartime scenarios... regardless try telling that to try US Marine Corps

[@Marco-bf4uu]

@@nicholashe1198 That's called tradition. Even if they have no use they still everywhere in Germany. What's the difference between an ,,band" and an drum and bugle corps then?

[@kmabru]

@@Marco-bf4uu This is a drum and bugle corps. They're using 2 valved G bugles. They've evolved over time from using true bugles to single piston, piston/rotary, 2 piston and lastly 3 piston G bugles. In Y2K, rules changes allowed the use of Bb brass instruments in traditional corps bell front, marching configuration. They're now allowing other brass instruments and synthesizers. A marching band would include woodwinds (flutes, piccolos, clarinets, saxophones) as well as brass and percussion.

[@Marco-bf4uu]

@@kmabru USA is weird then why do you always need to do it differently all over the world an drum and bugles is an signal corps.

[@kmabru]

@@Marco-bf4uu Nothing weird about it. Not sure where you're getting your information from. I suggest you do a little research on modern drum and bugle corps. What you've described sounds more like the old battlefield units from the 1800's and earlier. This style of drum and bugle corps is found around the world. In the US, it has it's roots in VFW halls, scouts, churches and the American Legion. Ever hear of DCE? It stands for Drum Corps Europe. They use a similar drums/brass configuration (and includes a number of corps from Germany). I'm not sure if they're using G bugles or Bb instruments. There's also Drum Corps United Kingdom and Drum Corps Asia. So it's not just confined to the USA.

[@sebsnyder3532]

BASS SPLITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joinkim4090]

What animal has apricot in her mouth and..blows on a bugle.. in a Chevrolet.

[@patrickpaluga747]

It's time that everyone accepts the fact that The Commandants Own is the last of the reL drum and bugle corps.The rest use trumpets, trombones, and corners, which makes the crap from DCI anything but true drum and bugle corps. Semper Fi USMC

[@rebsarge]

And they're all riflemen, too.

[@randommemesv.1963]

Sorry to say man, but they’re not

[@bjornegan6421]

@@randommemesv.1963 the designation 'rifleman' is awarded to anyone who qualifies as a 'rifleman' at the range. given that you have to qualify in boot camp, and then yearly after, every Marine is a rifleman. not every Marine is an 'infantry rifleman', an actual mos, but each is a rifleman, a qualification.

[@channelthree6678]

We spent $700 billion on defense last year alone. For that amount of money, these guys should be flying around the field with golden rockets in their ass, shooting silver dollars out of the ends of their G bugles.

[@KobaCrawls]

Channel Three Ha! Do you know how much these guys get out of that 700?

[@steveng6271]

With 700 you can buy 1 contra ....or 1/10 of a DCI tour
