This march recreates the experience of a listener watching a parade go by. It starts soft as the first band approaches, grows louder as the parade arrives, then fades out as it moves on.

2:18 Dixie! One of my favorite marches. It and Stars and Stripes Forever represent all parts of America equally.

[@born2bbald12]

I love the American Military. I love this Country. Every time I hear this piece it brings me to tears. My father loved this piece. He was a medic in the Korean War. I salute the American Armed Forces. However, Marines have a special spot in my heart. I have seen several KZbin videos with this "American Patrol". This is the best musical performance and the best edited. Thank you so much.

Circus Charlie remake when?

[@fjb4932]

My Father took the free, National test for high school graduates given by General Electric in about '39. Test lasted M-F, 8am-5pm. Top 4 with highest score were awarded an all expense paid scholarship to any University they wished. He was one of the four... He wanted to become a surgeon so went to Chicago Medical School (pre-med). At admission, they gave him a list of courses he'd have to take. Had to choose between Choir and Band, choose Band. Didn't play any instruments and had zero desire nor interest so Band teacher gave him the symbols and told him " Watch me, and when i point at you, clash'em together as many times as i point." So he got his credits for Band. Years later he met my Mother and at some point she asked if he played any musical instruments. He said yes, and was even in the Band at college. Only after they were married did she find out it was the symbols. PS: The Gov't, in it's infinite wisdom, drafted him in 1942 into the Army. I wonder if General Electric still awards scholarships to the top four smartest high school graduates ? ☆

It is the most beautiful thing that I heard and when I heard it, I felt a tranquility in my whole body and put me in a state of peace.

Today in our age It is rare to get a music composed with such richness, substance, and glamour. For sure the good old timers had left a neat piece that could be arranged by different scholars of and yet never lose its originality.

"Banda El Recodo - Patrulla Americana"

[@juancruzmarquez9084]

The exactly tune to ride a lion through rings on fire.

[@kevinempson9892]

Amazing

[@chesslerbooks]

I love this march, maybe because I used to play clarinet. The dynamics of increasing volume in the solo clarinet, then having the others joining in, is really beautiful. The bands helped us win WW2, here is how. The Marines are not wearing their rank on their uniforms, but I like watching the Army and Navy bands too. The Army often wears a rank patch. I was surprised at how high a rank some of these guys and girls have, so I did some math to see how much the band costs in basic salary. I counted 55 marines in this band, for this march anyway. If they were all E5's it comes to about $3585 a month, so $2.4M a year. If the average rank is E8 they each make $60M a year, so it comes to $3.3M a year. Compared to what a professional civilian orchestra costs, this is probably a bargain. Back during WW2 I am sure there were thousands of military bands, certainly in the Navy each large ship had a band. At Pearl Harbor when all the BB's were sunk, one of the BB's bands, the Oklahoma I think, was lassoed into helping the code breakers decode the Japanese codes which we had broken. They were so good that they helped the code-breakers and Admirals position our 3 remaining Carriers in June 1942 for the Midway Battle. Which is why we won in 3 1/2 years. Thanks to the clarinets.
