[@burntorange3]

Notice it's all the elder folks clapping and cheering.....they remember

[@jackmorrison7379]

This is the Netherlands, not the USA . Most of these seniors are the children of WW II generation. Do the math. Born from 1946 to 1965. The liberation of western Europe in WW II was done by the US Army, Brit Army and their respective Air Forces. Our US Marines cemented their honor and glory in the Pacific theater of operations against the Japanese. These Dutch seniors do remember NATO and the Cold War with the USSR 1946 to 1990 fall of the Soviet Empire.

[@jlawsl]

Always loving those drum lines from the US Marines..

[@trombone113]

If I remember correctly, that cadence is called The Fall of Paris.

[@wisconsinatIon]

That SSgt out front has at least 16 years of active service. When I was on active duty, you'd expect to be a GySgt by then. People should take note that not only are they playing excellent music, but much of what they played was written BY a Marine - John Philip Sousa was a SgtMaj in the United States Marine Corps. Watching them strut their stuff stirs my heart.

[@phanCAbe]

Haha, that's a kicker. If the DM misses the end of the tune you've got to start over, it's a loop until the cut off!

[@Locutus494]

Oh, is that what happened? I just thought they decided to repeat the intro phrase again at the end for whatever reason, maybe made the change at the last minute, and the two trombones just forgot. I didn't know that was normal practice if the DM screwed up. It DID seem to me that drum major was inexperienced, being only a SSgt. and his rather stiff mace movements, especially cadence mace.

[@Tom-bs1em]

@@Locutus494 no you can see two of the left marines put their trombones down, making it look like it was mistake

[@uropepe]

One of the last few real military bands! Great performance! Real soldiers!

[@Tomasso1977]

One of the last real military bands? The Netherlands has a few, just like the British.

[@uropepe]

A real military band is a band with soldiers not hired musicians with only a basic military training. Like in the Legion etrangere. No fat people ( I myself am overweight but a real soldier shouldn‘t). Sad enough the British army uses hired musicians, You can see it. Marines don‘t.

[@Locutus494]

@@uropepe Actually, yes the USMC does. The fleet bands (of which this band is one) and the "Commandant's Own" United Stated Marine Drum and Bugle Corps are normal Marines, trained normally (boot camp and MCT), and are deployed to combat, but the "President's Own" United States Marine Band are career musicians that are "hired". When they enlist, they do not go to boot camp, instead reporting directly to the band at Marine Barracks Washington, and they start at the rank of Staff Sergeant. This is why they wear special rank insignia which have a music lyre in place of the crossed rifles.

[@uropepe]

@@Locutus494 thank You for this information!

[@mikebowden4244]

The Royal Marine Band members all go through the same basic training as regular Royal Marines except they do not do the Commando training. They are full time serving members of the British military and serve where ever the military is needed, and have served in such places as Iraq and Afghanistan where they serve as medics and drivers as needed. It is my understanding that the regular British military band members are also fully trained as fighting soldiers and train likewise so I don't know where "uropepe" is getting his or her information from.
