I enjoyed this I truly did. She, the woman conducting, has a joyful face. I saw her conducting the orchestra and singers singing Battle hymn of Republic. Same look. She seems to truly enjoy this.

I agree - so many conductors have a generic "I am in control of the orchestra" serious face. It's refreshing to see one that reflects the music coming through them.

I'm an Australian and, as far as I know, we haven't had any composers who wrote marches. I love brass bands, so happily listen to Liberty Bell, Semper Fidelis, Stars and Stripes Forever and the Washington Post. Great performance! ❤

I'm a recently retired MSG in the USA and love what our band brings to the table. I'm glad they are showing emotion as they play. They feel the rhythm and are having fun. In contrast, I looked up the Marine Corps rendition of this splendidly composed jam by Sousa, and they were not as fluid. Plus, we have a lady maestro!

[@ArmyFieldBand]

Thank you for your service!

The Washington Post march is always full of energy, and it is full of energy that seems to symbolize freedom. So I want to listen to it again every time. Most of John Philip's marches are like that. The Washington Post march reminds me of freedom and peace, so I like America.

I didn't recognise the name of this piece (having learned it by ear) then clicked on it and was instantly transported to marching in the Memorial Day Parades. Ah, a good time- walking five miles in two or three towns while playing the same song over and over really bonded a bunch of kids. I was on flute, in the back, and couldn't walk straight with the flute straight too!

My favorite US March Song, very beautiful and awesome! An Army needs not only good soldiers, weapons and uniforms, they need fantastic music as well! God Bless America!

This sounds absolutely wondrous. It is almost if group of angels picked up band instruments and began to play. I never like listening to military bands play as they are always so harsh, but the Marine, Army, Navy, and Air Force bands are different. The play musically and powerfully, Fantastic.

[@jessicapowell2000]

I play the flute and i did this song in 8th-grade band i am now a sophomore in high school and still remember the song by heart as well as the armed forces song. I stopped doing band in school because school was slow at teaching band so I quit and decided to get private lessons and those are better in my opinion to learn for me I am now a 1st chair is a city band.

Private lessons are great! Good to hear that you're still playing.

I see Staff Sergeants, Sergeants First Class, and Master Sergeants. Some pretty senior NCOs in that group of musicians. And wow! There's a Sergeant-Major back there!!!

[@cpope625]

That's because they give these musicians extra rank when enlisting and it only gets better the longer you are in. I'm talking about the elite bands (Marine President's Own, The old Guard band, etc. When you get down to a base band, such at the Ft. Hood band, you don't see al these high ranking NCO's.
