- The United States Marine Corps West Coast Composite Band performing at the 128th Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade on Monday, January 1, 2017. This composite group brings three Marine Bands together from around Southern California. The band members are fully combat-trained and prove that they are as proficient with their musical instruments as they are with their weaponry. Many of these these fine service members have completed tours in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
00:10 - Warm up
01:02 - Eternal Father Strong to Save
02:07 - Semper Fidelis
04:45 - The Marines' Hymn
My high school band was the next band in the line of march following the Marine Corps Band for the January 1963, Rose Parade. The actual parade route is a little over five miles but bands must first march down the assembly area anywhere up to an additional two miles just to get to the parade route. By the time we marched into the parking lot at the end we were exhausted. The Marine Band was also in the same parking lot. SO here are a bunch of high school kids ready to fall over and the Marines looked as fresh as when they stepped off. Our band director a former Marine bandsman himself couldn't help himself and kept pointing out how easy the Marine Band had made it look. Of course I joined the Marine Corps a year later. Not the band but I wanted to put out that much effort and make it all look so dang easy. Semper fi and the Marine Bands are the best.

For those in peril was beautiful, the standard and quality of this band is incredible, the USMC band is the gratest
Excellent video. I especially enjoyed the warm-up portion where they played "Eternal Father" and Semper Fidelis. It's also great to hear them play the Marine Corps Hymn while marching, with the piccolos soaring high above the band.
Both rank and file, straight lines. Excellent tone and sound.
God bless the 2/5 and 3/1 Marines.
i can't stop watching these great Marine Bands
John Philip Sousa, you wrote some amazing music. Semper Fi, Marine. 🇺🇸
The only reason I watch the parade.
God bless the Marines and God bless the Navy, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard who protect this proud country.

My great grandson Ian Patterson. Son of Wendy Reinking Patterson and husband Jim is a member of this band. He plays saxaphone and is the tallest member of the band. We are so very proud of him
Love you all Bud Dunn

Hey music213 why don’t you make a pateron page?
Hey Kevin. Not until you mentioned it, I did not know what that was, so I googled it. It's a great thought but maybe at a later time. Right now, I'm good with how I have it, just sharing content that I capture for all to see and enjoy. Thanks again!
