USMC West Coast Composite Band - The Marines' Hymn - 2024 Pasadena Rose Parade

The United States Marine Corps West Coast Composite Band performing The Marines' Hymn at the 135th Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade on Monday, January 1, 2024. This composite group brings three Marine Bands together from around Southern California; Marine Band San Diego, the 1st Marine Division Band and the 3D Marine Aircraft Wing Band. The band members are fully combat-trained and many have been on combat deployments. This fine band has marched in the Rose Parade for over 20 consecutive years.
Before the band, we have the USMC Mounted Color Guard. It is the only equestrian unit that carries the American flag.

The Marine bands are awesome. The Marine band in the Mardi Gras parades is the best!

Semper Fi ,Once a Marine ,always a Marine!!!

Americans should look up The Halls Of Montezuma, and The Shores Of Tripoli, and they will learn about some great Marine, and great American history. Doctor George Whitehead

Hi Music 213, John Phillips Sousa was once the Musical Director of this Band. He retired and started his own, successful civilian band. I'm hoping that the O-VILS Entertainment Group will be as successful too or more so.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

The Marines had a different plan to make the Mario Turn. Well done.

[@Locutus494]

No, he did not direct these bands; they didn't even exist in his day...

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

@@Locutus494 Hello, potato- potato He did direct a band made up of Marines. Maybe not necessarily this actual composite band.

[@Locutus494]

@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 He was the director of the President's Own, not any fleet band... 🤦‍♂️

Only two military bands in the US are not fully combat trained: The US Marine Band in Washington, DC, and the US Coast Guard Band at New London, CT.

[@Locutus494]

And what do either of them have to do with this?

[@felix194918]

Only interesting on the band. After the Marine Band I change the chanel

[@jackhana7374]

After the USMC band I hardly give Five farts in Florida about the rest of the parade. Except for the Salvation Army Band, nothing of any consequence. The parade used to be so much better…..what happened?

[@davidanthony8134]

Been to many Rose Parades - this is what I only wanted to see - and ignore the rest of the parade

[@seanatteberry3686]

Ditto

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

Nothing but great respect for the Marines - HOWEVER - they need to start giving credit where it is due; such as the fact that more men were lost by the U.S. Army Air Corp in WW2 than were lost over the whole history of the Marines.

[@classicalhollywood3254]

There’s a good film it’s from ww2 It’s called the Memphis belle not the movie from the 1990s. It’s from like 1944 it’s in color too

[@mach5895]

@mcmnverreadsreplys7318 Didn’t know it was a competition. Thanks for that insight. P.S. Only cowards post something and don’t read replies.

[@tomstuart2652]

@@mcmneverreadsreplys7318 Tragically, lives were lost by all branches. They all deserve our respect. I don’t see how the U.S. Marines could single out the losses of another service. If you put on a uniform you have my respect. I don’t draw a line of where your tour of duty was. I had my 4 years in.

[@jackhana7374]

Unfortunately the announcers spoke over the band…..totally disrespectful….hope they never get another gig….they were awful….I think the guy’s name was Nabors

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Those announcers always seem to do that. Heavily scripted and pushing for commercials. They never pause to enjoy the moments that they are witnessing. Do you hear me Al Roker of 2018?
