Q: how do you get 2 piccolo players to play in tune? A: Shoot both of them, replace them with 4 piccolo players from Pershing's Own.

This should be the national anthem.

[@strasbourgeois1]

Yeah. It’s just a bit too long. You guys may have to shorten it.

[@olykelkamp]

Colleges have alma maters and fight songs. Star-Spangled Banner is the USA's alma mater, our national anthem. This is our Fight Song.

[@johne6081]

It has been our national march since 1987.

[@358Disaster]

@@johne6081 I've heard some of my fellow countryman say our national anthem is racist, they aren't completely wrong. Let's do the right thing and change it to this. It talks about our beautiful country and the values of our people and is generally more upbeat, more optimistic.

[@elsemorris906]

This is what you sound like if you practice for hours. And hours. And hours.

[@danielbeller972]

It´s one of the most beautiful renditions of this classic. The finest orchestra! Hurra for the piccolo players! You are amazing and this clip fills our hearts!

[@kapatidtomas]

This is more fast paced but still though, it's one of the best marches ever in the entire world. Thanks Sousa

[@timothymiller2951]

From a retired Navy CPO: great job, Army band, I like the tempo! ⚓🇺🇲

[@十蘭コメント]

thanks.　星条旗よ永遠なれ、の動画が幾らでも、配信されて来ています。　ピッコロ担当を４人も編成して、くれています。　この曲を、よく理解されています。　また、ピッコロ・パートを合唱で表現するところが、斬新です。音楽の才能を見ました。

[@gordonm7038]

Fast tempo! Great playing!

[@napoleonsanagustin521]

From a retired U.S. Coast Guard E-6 , Bravo Zulu Army Band. Love the fast tempo. All female Piccolo player and the all male Chorus group are excellent.

[@TailcoatGames]

He's probably one of the guys who hits the B-flat...

[@mattparksmusic]

That piccolo solo was amazing!

[@whaft]

Matt Parks it wasn’t a solo but it was amazing

[@jiggiewig]

it would technically count as soli, since there was an ensemble of pics, rather than a single one. but yes, it really was amazing !!

[@creothjaeger]

This is the part where the U.S. Artillery is demonstrated .

[@mokshshah9305]

They came to our school last week. It was great watching United States’ best band perform. It was an honor to be their

[@anthonyr5869]

The army seems to play this a little faster than the marines or is it just me ?

[@geasnigeroa1061]

I absolutely love the 1:00 chorus.

[@brasschick4214]

I put this on a FB Brass band players page - Grimethorpe as per @HelenVarlz - mid 1970s from what I can gather by the comments. Unfortunately no further details as per yet.

[@juhapunkari602]

Merkillinen tempo marssiin. Kukaan sotilas ei pysty marssimaan tuolla tahdilla. Hyvä sävel, sikses.

[@yamialucard8743]

My favourite part is from 0:01 to 0:32, I don't know what it is but despite the title saying forever, that part gives me the sense of one final glorious time.🌠

[@elizabethwharry680]

Leaves me breathless! The skill and talent of the conductor, band and singers is amazing. Thank you all!

[@gillehrer2824]

No doubt, these guys are amazing AS MUSICIANS... but are they good AS SOLDIERS? C'mon, SINGING has nothing to do with fighting wars, defending the country! It's two different things! Talented musicians SHOULD NOT be in the armed forces ! Taxpayers should NOT tolerate this. == (gilberto lehrer - brazil)

I love this!! I’m playing it on trombone with my pep band

[@sofializzy4519]

OUTSTANDING!!!!! God Bless you!!!! Thank you for your service!!!!

[@AnnaKin]

This is the only recording I could find of it at the correct tempo! When we played this in band, we were floored at how fast it was. We were like, "How did they march to this??" But yep... apparently "American marches: fast:: European marches: slow." I guess even in Sousa's time people complained of the speed LOL and he was like "Deal with it."

A really fine performance. Very disciplined. I particularly liked the singing. Greetings from the UK.

[@thomashogan16]

You think Biden is EVER going to "turn from his wicked ways" and confess to a priest he is a monster of evil for promoting abortion? I prayed for that at Mass today. Doubt it will happen. Sorry Lord.

They need to play this in the school instead of teaching cricket race theory and how to be a queer.

Actually, compare this tempo with Sousa's. Do you disagree with his? kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5y7k6lsfdKfZ5o

so beautiful

[@andytachibanalover9495]

Nice job army---but you can't even compare to the Kyoto Tachibana senior high school band on this song. Hands down!!!!!

[@NPC54619]

Such a stupid tradition for piccolos to March to the front. Needs to be abolished like people standing for the Hallelujah’s Chorus. Only in the US this happens. People in Europe don’t give a shit about superstitious traditions.

[@LadyZeldaia]

or.. they can just do what they like? also we in europe are superstisious af
