Notre musique militaire "Sambre et Meuse" est magnifiquement interprétée et une brillante prestation du tambour-major...Bravo !!!

[@jean-clauderouviller1802]

Tout simplement superbe !

[@pierrecorbasson5215]

This march is called "le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse". It is from the region of Loraine, France. We sang it in Verdun in my Regiment. It is often used for military parades. Great job High Schoolers! Pierre Corbasson, French Teacher

La Sambre est dans le NORD

[@alainbelley4786]

Merci!, Je l'avais déjà entendu à la radio, je l'avais aussi trouvé très belle mais là, elle est magnifique et soulève une bouffée d'émotions. Vous savez y faire mes frères.

[@germouchel549]

This march is call " LE REGIMENT DE SAMBRE ET MEUSE " ; Sambre et Meuse was a french departement (between county and state) near north of France, actualy in Belgium, province de Namur. So, this march is french and also belgian march.

[@ggousier]

@@germouchel549 Not Belgian because Belgium didn't exist in eighteenth century.

[@germouchel549]

@@ggousier La musique a été composée en France (1870 (wiki)) mais les belges se sentant concerné par le lieu s'en sont aussi approprié et la joue aussi mais de manière moins martiale, surtout en Flandre (moins de batterie). La Belgique du sud est attirée par l'époque française, voir " Les marches napoléoniennes "

I was a trumpet player in this band. I played all four years and graduated in 2011 from Patrick Henry High School. Made a lot of good friends in band and will always remember the great times I had. I sometimes wish I could go back..

[@thomastucker6073]

Great march, great band. When PH High opened I was in the band over at Granite Hills HS. Lots of my friends went over there. But I love French marches, its in my heritage!

[@helenemontreuil3417]

Très belle interprétation de Sambre et Meuse par une école américaine avec un costume d'époque. Bravo

[@arnaudcasalis4072]

Très belle parade.. tres belle allure de tous avec une remarquable qualité musicale. Bravo !

[@DominicusMagnus]

The most famous french march "Sambre et Meuse" ! Superb marching band with drums at front side, french style. In France, big drums sound only when the left foot touches ground ! From France, congratulations to all,

[@hagst27]

The pace is much too quick...

[@Demun1649]

This is NOT the most famous FRENCH march. What is played when the FRENCH President arrives at the saluting pedestal at the very start of the day? Not "Sambre et Meuse", it is the "Marche de la Garde Consulaire à la Bataille de Marengo". The tune that has always been played at the National Défilé.

[@rawnut77]

Beautiful band. It's funny to see an American band plays a french tune of military music Sambre et Meuse. It's looking good and very well played. Congratulations High Schoolers. 👍😎😉

[@jpc7118]

After the Auld alliance with Scottidh, it seems that Irish took a french military march (Sambre et Meuse), is that to put that on the usual opposition with the English, the best frenemies of the French ;) Whatever, very great interpretation of this french march.

[@vaq33ens]

Nice uniforms (costumes?). Very well played. Plus, not often do you see bassoons or bass clarinets in a marching band.

[@dillenbeck16]

The judges always used to love our marching bassoon (or was it an oboe I cant remember lol). She was a good friend and in my graduating class. And yea we had the sweet Patriot outfit instead of the traditional Marching band uniform because we were the Patrick Henry "Patriots"

[@martialmusic]

great job of playing this great march

[@sousafan100]

a fine rendition of this march by turlet - a personal favorite - go patriots! - thanks music213 and phhsmpb

[@YellowstoneBound1948]

These are high school kids??? They are magnificent!!! Bravo Zulu!!!

[@williamdean4101]

This HS band is just as good if not better than professional military bands.

[@denniskriegbaum9353]

Very nice! Another great version on you tube by The Ohio State marching band when they do script Ohio. I like those uniforms

[@iparipaitegianiparipaitegi4643]

Impressive to watch and hear American musicians playing a french military march: le régiment de Sambre et Meuse.

[@jean-luchochart6960]

Très bien interprété!

[@clintonearlwalker]

Beautiful rendition, thanx for the upload, applause and cheers!!

[@shoutyman9922]

This march evoked a strong memory. Back when I was a lad, and tv was black and white, there was a weekly series centered around a small group of English speaking French Legionaries. It was in the same vein as Wyatt Earp or the Rifleman but the antagonists were probably Algerians. This march covered the opening or closing credits. I have not heard it since. Thank you for sharing.

[@blakepartain8864]

Great song and awesome drum major but there are two ways to play this piece, one like this video and the other like the famed Ohio state and their script Ohio which is awesome beyond measures!

[@speedyneutrino1729]

One more thing.....I especially liked the bold, confident performance by the drum major.

[@mister-v-3086]

From England, Scotland, Germany, Russia and Here -- He's GOOD !

[@dillenbeck16]

Yeah watching this back She did a great job. Straight up flipping the baton/mace like a lightsaber lol

[@michelleroy6407]

Superbe interprétation de Sambre et Meuse, costume magnifique

[@Bigbassdrum60]

I had a feeling they were hiding their real drum section. It started off as it should have been with Rope Tensioned Drums giving the rich deep tone of Skin head on the snare drums and bass drums but after the intial cadence which was proper for the time, (Patrick Henry Revolutionary period using skin head drums in that period), the band struck up the Nationale Defile Marsche and the give a way was that this band had the precussion part rested from the front drummers by hidden drummers 2/3rd of the way back in the ranks playing modern drums with plastic heads. Dead Give Away. That killed it for me.

[@Codygames482]

Mad BDBITL vibes

[@MajorDenisBloodnok]

An American HS band playing (brilliantly) Sambre et Meuse?!? i would like to see that in France alas patriotism is not very welcome in our schools...

[@germouchel549]

I'm french and that you said is true. Say you are patriot is not good for You . No volontary of intégration of more foreigners so différents and vice versa. Is there one FRANCE, France is overlays We have think that these people only for their hands whithout think the future and for new one think France is country of abundance. French schoolers said are tired, programs go to ligth. D'not ask to do defile that it's tiredwork and facist. Je suis un mauvais français

[@julesrenard760]

Sambre et Meuse ! belle interprétation !

[@jeanpierreragequit1726]

hmm..Sambre & Meuse... !!

[@andrelevy3791]

Et oui La fameuse marche de Sambre et Meuse à la gloire de Napoleon

[@germouchel549]

Bjr Plutôt à celle des soldats de la Révolution. Une vraie formation napoléonienne sur you tube : " Fêtes de la vigne 2016 garde impériale de Dijon " et plus folkloriques dans le sud de la Belgique les marches napoléoniennes.

[@georgesmazeran1610]

Que de souvenirs en1960 j étais premier trompette au.92 musique du régiment clermontois

[@sylvainchamoux5120]

il y a un noir dans les soldats en habits verts !!! ... ça fait tache !

[@davidmarshall1259]

play all the trumpets you like, drum all day long, but when the going gets tough, turn to England to save your sorry arse.

[@wayneagnew2519]
