It's still early but do you know already when the ticket sale will be started?

[@davidjsouth231]

My good friend from college is a symphonic band director and these college students can produce some pretty good music. But hey!!! If you’re here listening that means you have some style and class in you and appreciate some good symphony music unlike many uncultured people today.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Now that would be a dream!

[@deepsea631]

Can't believe that I missed this for so long... Thank you for a wonderful performance! Thank you for the dedication to NATO and our allies.

[@Metzgermeisterful]

I am a retired US Marine Master Sergeant and also a house-bound disabled veteran. I've been following this annual concert for a few years now and I just found this one today. HM Royal Marines Band never fails to disappoint and I just want to shout out a "Bravo Zulu" to my Marine cousins across the pond! I hope and pray that I'll be able to attend this concert in person one day. Thank you all again! Semper Fidelis!

[@georgegammon190]

Fantastic ... You have done it again. As a US NAVY retired service member, I feel the deep spirit and dedication put forth from all the bands of HM Royal Marines and Royal Navy bands. Well done shipmates for another fantastic performance. I have followed the bands for the past 10 years. You are the best. Thank you for your many years of service and your dedication of duty to the band you serve. (G. Gammon, RM1, US NAVY Retired)

[@mjc1530]

Hats off to these brilliant musicians - another great show. I saw my first live performance of the MFM in 2022 and it has now become a regular fixture in the calendar. My daughter and I travel from Rome each year - already have a note of next year’s festival in the diary! I also watched the live stream on Saturday to confirm a few thoughts I had after seeing the live performance at the RAH. I would just like to say that I was rather disappointed there was very little made of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings - a mention from Katy Derham and a few words from a Winston Churchill speech, just a passing comment on the 360th anniversary of the RMs, ……. and where was Sarie Marais?!!! Congratulations to you all once again on a faultless performance and look forward to seeing you all again in July for Beating the Retreat.
