U.S. Marine Drum & Bugle Corps | 2022 | DCI World Championship Finals

[@denveradams4909]

My older brother played a baritone bugle in the M/C Drum & Bugle Corps from 1968-72. I also served in the Marine Corps from 1977-83 as an Expeditionary Airfield Technician. Part of a proud Marine Corps heritage. Semper Fi!

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Thank you both for your service

Only the play-ground ist not perfekt... But the marching musicians TOP ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@onewingedangelsephiroth1561]

Keep all that 7011 stuff to yourself. 😂 Being serious it was a waste of my life and certain jobs should have paid more and given full scholarships afterwards. A lot of people say that things sucked but they wouldn't change a thing. I say that they are stupid or liars. My time would have been better spent flying helos in the Army or ATC in the Air Force.

[@lextrueno]

The snap reveal at 6:21 of The Stars and Stripes Forever must have been massively impactful for the crowd seeing a wall of Marines march playing that tune. Amazing reveal for many who didn't know they were about to drop a certified classic!

[@lsrose]

So I’m late to the party but this was in my recommended today. What a show!! Clean marching lines. Sound was completely balance and clear. Drill was excellent without any fancy props!

[@sergeant_salty]

Happy Birthday USMC!! and Happy Veteran's Day!!! God bless the US Military and long live American musical excellence🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@erasmoconcepcion999]

To my beloved Corps, Happy Birthday and Semper Fidelis forever.

[@jsaavedr1]

Damn, those Mellophones are killer!

[@skahler]

Yea!!!

[@musicstudio4252]

The syncopated drum rhythms here would please any jazz fan. Great composing and arrangements!

[@ArthurCasadonte]

We are number one 👍 Semper Fi!

[@tickley42]

Man, I miss when more DCI shows were like this. The drill is so sharp and the intonation is just perfect.

[@recordman555]

Agreed! DCI has turned into a queers-on-parade.

I love this drumline. Spot on technique. The Commandant's Own , United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps sets the standard.

[@icu_frosty]

Love how every single note, movement, etc has a purpose unlike everything now

[@irishmonke2342]

My middle school band teacher is doing this he almost made it into the band that plays for the president but one of his friends beat him by like one tryout I think, so now he does this. Still one of the best and chillest teachers

[@albertoortiz3574]

Just Great, It sounds freedom It sounds sacrifice It sounds Glory ... The life we enjoy today, thanks to all veterans who did offer their life for us. Thanks

[@LynneMezzo]

I never thought I would hear the Dies Irae from the Verdi Requiem played by a drum and bugle corps!

[@williamsanborn9195]

I wonder how many of those high schoolers that were representing the 13 founding corps actually were NOT brass players.

[@firebearva]

Congratulations Joshua Dannemiller and thank you for your dedicated service. I grew up in the village of Doylestown, Ohio but I didn't not know Joshua Dannemiller even though my aunt Gertrude Weinsheimer-Dannemiller married into the Dannemiller family. Probably because I moved to Florida long before Joshua was born. Yes all worthless information🥱

[@judgetoogood1033]

[@ryangreen9378]

Had the pleasure of watching this brassline warmup at the Winston Salem show, their intonation and blend as a group is second to none.

[@pollochristo565]

Except Crown.

[@Alahulapuuloakealahelenokaahu]

I witnessed them on December 7, 1941, from Aiea Heights, overlooking the famed US Naval base you Americans know as Pearl Harbor, as they valiantly performed a complete program of Handel’s Messiah uninterrupted by what was happening around them. It was a stunningly magnificent display of musicianship, musical excellence and prowess, mental focus and discipline, and a devil may care display of defiance to the attack and the attackers. When the performance was concluded, a rescue force of SEALS and the Blue Angels escorted them to the safety of Waikiki and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, where they collected their medals and numerous salutations, celebratory messages and commendations. Needless to say, a performance worthy of a Super Bowl halftime appearance.

[@jamesroberts3642]

Their made up of older people...of course they're gonna be better musicians

[@sdnewsome13]

The Marine bands are top tier. The first note I started tearing up

[@MasterYoist]

As a former member of the Drum and Bugle Corps I can honestly say we did not like being referred to as a band. In fact, there is a Marine band in Washington DC. The Drum Corps and Marine band from Washington D.C. get along well together. But, it seems that the field bands, that are on about a dozen different Marine bases have a major hatred towards the Drum Corps and anybody that's ever been in them.

[@Pierre777-]

​@@MasterYoistsurprisingly realy

[@davidbarker7938]

This is perfect. Minimal pit. No dancers pretending to be emoting. No props. No 3 ring circus. Just marching and playing at it's finest.

[@acfern6862]

If you really want to focus on musical discipline, sure, this is great. But there's something about modern drum corps mixing of that musical discipline with intricate drill that provides for an excellent show.

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

Agree

[@deltaray3]

It's funny that you say minimal pit because for me this is a lot of pit for them. When I would see exhibition performances of them back in the 90s, they had one or two marching xylophones and that was it. No real pit to speak of.

[@naruke9373]

While there is beauty in this type of show. Modern dci is great as well. It adds more visual and tells story along with great music. Both offer things the other can’t.

[@Speakzzz]

Blud said emoting🤣🤣🤣

[@svenlars99]

There's nothing "flashy". The drill isn't going to melt your mind. What you are going to get is perfection and SOUND. Daaaaang they're loud.

[@muriel8922]

THAT'S DRUM CORPS at it's finest .

[@sirtraineewhat576]

especially when you consider how small they are

[@chrisanthony579]

The way all drum corps used to be back in the beginning way before someone thought it was a good idea to bring electronics and tractor trailer loads of "stuff". How about that National Anthem. The way it was written and suppose to be played.

[@SoundPursuit]

Amazing volume for a unit that small. All players, for sure.

[@ThePMcDonald]

THAT is what a line of G bugles can do!!! Any-key instrumentation just doesn’t stack up …

[@gettingittogether424]

​@ThePMcDonald they switched to Bb bugles a few years before this

[@juanktrumpet10]

I saw them live and they were incredible. What a nice surprise to see this video today. Thank you so much!

[@zacharylark6739]

Can you provide the WHOLE performance. The March out to their performing positions is often as spectacular as their playing… their precision is amazing.

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Phenomenal performance Marines truly outstanding! Such a magnificent display of talent expertise and hard work paying off!>>>🇺🇲🦅🗽 The sycronistity was absolutely flawless as was the music. Congratulations on 50 years of patriotic performances of excellence and inspiration! Praying that our kids everywhere begin to learn who our real superheroes are!

[@alfredttarski4521]

sycronistity ?

[@skahler]

Dude I love how the military was like "wait wait wait precision marching?? we do that all day let's GOOO" and came out swinging :D

[@kathyrau9551]

I had the pleasure of seeing them at DCI this past August, they were freaking awesome.

[@frankdenardo8684]

They do make many public appearances and I saw them at the Rose 🌹 Parade and the Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade. What is a parade without the military bands?

[@MasterYoist]

It would be rare that the Marine drum and bugle Corps does the Rose Parade. The Marine units that do the Rose Parade are a combination of the four marine field bands from Southern California.

[@RedDogMamaHD]

Happy 247th Birthday, US Marine Corps! I love The Commandant's Own! Great memories from this summer! (I love hearing you start with the Troop March B cadence!)

No gimmicks. Just get down. Plus, they kick ass on the battlefield. Real stuff.

[@bp6087]

I was pleasantly surprised!! These Marines sound fantastic! They have a lot more movement on the field than I expected, too. I'm definitely excited to see their other performances!! Thank you for uploading this video. Great quality, too! Cheers, and God Bless!!

Happy Birthday, Marine Corps! Thank you.

[@kevinkelley3657]

The whole thing was amazing......the power chords remind me of many of winners from the 1980's and 1990's. Star....Madison Scouts.......I almost heard "wish upon a star" at 6:10. 7:15 sounds alot like a tribute to the USC marching bands cadence.........jsut me. I absolutley love it all.

Agreed!

I definitely like this arrangement of Stars & Stripes better than the one they are doing this year. That 4-count pause followed by the company front push is epic!

[@frankdenardo8684]

The Presidents own. I saw the United States Marine Corps band at the Rose 🌹 Parade in Pasadena and the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. That parade always have military bands IE United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard making an appearance which then follows with the annual college football classic football game.

[@davidwarner3326]

The Commandant's Own. The President's Own is the US Marine Band, and what you saw in the parade was the East Coast Combined band.

[@frankdenardo8684]

@@davidwarner3326 The Rose Parade featured The Marine Corps band from San Diego, Camp Pendleton, Lejeune. Air Force Travis, Beale, Vandenberg, Edwards, Davis-Monthan, McChord, Lackland, Langley, Tinker and the Navy and Army bands. What's a parade without the military or the Shriners?

[@drummer0864]

As close to the good old days as it is going to ever get

[@cleodmr1]

I absotively adore The Comnandants Own Marine Drum and Bugle Corps!! Also The Silent Drill Team!! A couple of my drum corps brother's played instruments in the corps, one played baritone, the other played a drum. I am very proud of them!! I try never to miss the opportunity to see The Corps!! The precision and beauty of movement is other wordly!! Semper Fi!! 🤍❤️

I was fortunate to see this US MARINE CORP at Tennessee MBA. Myself and all of the participating band’s color guards were part was of their performance. 7-10 isle, we came down through by the audience on the steps, towards the field with our different flags but each isle lead with an American flag. It was amazing!! Many years ago but I remember it fondly. Thanks for sharing and reminding me ❤!
