Marching behind the 'Bandies' is an amazing experience, you feel 10ft tall and so proud. Respect!
i was on a parade down the mall in a st johns band in 1992 aged 14 as a drummer and well what an amazing experience, we were the band right behind a group of the royal marine drum corps whom as a drummer were my inspiration
@@michaeljewkes5569 It certainly is an awesome experience
One of the finest military bands ever existed. Ex Royal Marine 42 Commando, I had the honor & privilege of marching behind the Royal Marines Band.
¡pues...me parece"mucho ruido y pocasnueces,"
Es lo que mejor hacen los ingleses. (Sorry my Spanish is not that great)
Nič moc 😱
What about marching under enemy fire?For example, in Ukraine?🙂
@@MultiMatrosik Thats >Bullshit you Posting
The "Colonel Bogey March" is a British march that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881-1945) (pen name Kenneth J. Alford), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth.
He was allegedly watching men on a Golf Course while he wrote this composition. If it is not a rumor, I have always pictured it being written in that fashion.
He was the British counterpart to John Phillips Sousa, a contemporary of Lt. Ricketts.
Best military band ever
Served in 45 and loved every minute. Anytime band plays you listen.
Best of all he military bands I.M. H. O.
Wonderful to hear this again from an excellent marching band!! Impressive!I was 12 years old when I first saw Bridge over the river Kwai. It was so awesome to see. Sir Alec Guinness gave an Oscar worthy performance. 😊
Living in America I remember this song from the movie when it first came out and I was whistling it all day.
Magic from one of the best military bands in the world. Thanks Jim.
THE best military band in the world.
THE best
Absolutely wonderful
Hours and Hours of Practice become evident when it comes to marching in step plus playing an instrument in the manner of a professional.
Thank you!

@@brankokos6583 Have YOU done it? My husband and I, and several grandchildren all have. It's not easy, especially when having to do it in time to music, in tempo, and if you're doing maneuvers, it's even harder. Of course, in a military band, the discipline is much harder than a high school and college band. And these boys probably all played in school before taking the field. They also have to audition for this, which is nerve wracking at any stage. And they don't get out of being ground infantry, they still have to do basic, be proficient in shooting and tactics and all that, PLUS practice for the band on the side. So, if you've not done it, don't contradict someone who shows some respect for those who have.
It’s hard, we did a song once in 6/8 time. That took a LOT of practice to march to.
I was in my high school marching band and yes, it took hours of practice but when it came to performing whether it be a halftime show, parade or a cavalcade of bands show. We blew the competition out of the water..

Thanks
The bst in the world. From the son of a 45 Marine Commando who served from 1939 to 1946.
My dad was in the Corps from 1940 to 1946 and I followed in his footsteps and served from 1970 til 1980.
I also served with 45 and 42 Cmdo.
Best marines in the world ❤
thats what makes me so proud to see this band it makes me proud to be ENGLISH I thought my heart would come through my chest with pride one of the best bands in the world
Absolutely the finest in the tradition of Marines from around the world. From an old US Marine to my British brothers, brilliantly done! Incidentally, my son is named Trevor Howard. An actor by that name was magnificent in the movie!
Semper Fi Mac...
This was played everyday in my school for morning assembly...brings back wonderful memories
Did they know the accompanying words?😂
The words are going across the screen on the video. We sang it slightly differently here. At the end we had "But poor old Churchill had no balls at all." Mother forbid us to sing it & we did not know why as kids. So we sang it loudly when not in her presence because we thought it was bad
It was not Churchill she objected to we later learned but sure we thought it was hurling or tennis balls he had none of.
Ah this brought lovely memories of a lovely mother & innocent days.
Think you're a bit of a cheeky sod like myself ❤
In high school my old beat up cornet froze up. The school had just received at least a dozen new instruments, a couple of which were baritone horns. The director handed me one and said, "I know you're gonna miss your cornet, but wait until you play the Colonel Bogey march. You're gonna be proud to be a baritone horn player." In this video, you will prominently see and hear a tuba player being followed by a baritone horn player (carrying silver instruments). Listen to the rich sounds, especially for the last third of the piece. Eventually I went back to trumpet, but I was glad and proud to have played the baritone horn for a while. (The Colonel Bogey march will always have a special place in my heart because of this.)
Dang! I have dim memories of watching the movie at the theatre when I was about four. My parents took me to lots of movies. I hope I behaved! Wonderful, wonderful band. A marching band always brings me to tears.
Always nice to see the troops out for a stroll while accompanied by a group playing some lovely strolling tunes.
The Band was the 'glue' that held all us Royal Marines together.Thank you 'Bandies', you were/are magnificent.(From an 84 year old,'Royal')
Wonderful musicians and the coolest uniforms ever.
Holy crap, you even got the coppers marching in cadence when you paraded! Semper Fi from a Marine across the pond from you,.
The difference was - the coppers were knackered at the end.
@@mahatmacoat168 Actually it is such a privilege and excellent experience you could march all day without getting knackered at all.
Unconditional Respect 🫡 always
No one, but no one, does it like we Brits!
@@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench On behalf of my brothers across the sea... Thank you, Ma'am. On behalf of all of us, thank you,.
Semper Fidelis
We watched this movie as many times and we loved its marching band music , Thanks for sharing
I remember watching the movie in Sao Paulo Brazil around 1958 and the marching scene was so beautiful I was only 9 then, I am now 75 and still remember that day, the first time my dad took me to a movie theater downtown, never forgot it, thanks for the memories!
I won't mess with that bloke in the Green Beret!
Outstanding euphonium playing!
It never gets old. Wonderful march, beautifully executed
Brilliant Euph contermelody. Flawlessly done all.
The snare drummers playing as tight as they are with white cotton gloves on is amazing. The grip and feel you lose is significant. I was a drummer in my youth and we had to wrap rubber bands around the sticks just to be able to hold onto them.
Loved the movie---didn't know what they were whistling--now I do!!!! I love to see Military Bands --such pride in their Country!!!
I read somewhere the reason the p.o.w.s whistled was because they were forbidden to sing
Magnificent that's the only word suitable to describe the Royal Marines band and drums.
Brings back so many memories - being a kid watching the film with my South African dad who fought with Britain in WW 2.
Greetings from Florida 🐬 Thank You 🙏 All 💕 🎶
Lo mas hermoso y emocionante,de mis recuerdos. Gracias desde CHILE.
Una de las mejores marchas del mundo
Si vienen extraterrestres y la escuchan , huyen aterrorizados !!
Desde Santiago de Chile...oyendo y marchando 😊
I don't know about urban legend but I do know what I've been singing as they've been playing - and getting funny looks as well. I'll never be able to hear this tune again without adding the words. Thanks, I needed the laugh.
One of my most favorite and soul stirring marches.
I was a very young kid, hadn't even started school, when the movie came out. Of course I had no idea about the movie, but I certainly remember the music. It seemed it was everywhere back then.
My absolute favourite...thank u...❤❤❤
I remember as a teenager in the 1980s whenever various British guard regiments would come to Seattle, the Colonel Bogey March was always requested as an encore by the audience. Outstanding.
Love the marching bands these are trained fighting soldiers who have the skills of a fighter and the delicate skills to produce fine music Good on you lads you make all British proud
RM Band members are not current front-line infantry troops, but when joining the band, they become permanent in the band. May be some research prior to the nationalistic chest beating. Thanks & Cheers 🇬🇧
Thank you for your poor comment and less than nice reply
@@alundauncey5262 What's wrong with an honest response. Cheers.
We used to play that March during our School Band days from 1960-1963. I Played an Alto Sax.. ( PMT parade)
were you the bloke on Baker St? I knew it!
Great actors, great movie.
Thank you boys.
I can never hear this without thinking "Hitler has only got one ball".
".....Goering has 2 but very small...."
And the other is in the Albert Hall!

Fantastic. ❤❤❤
Love this so much
Outstanding!!
Very good instrument work - played this LONG ago in the late 1970s as a Baritone Horn player...
"The Bridge of River Kwai" (1957, Dir. David Lean) um dos melhores filmes de todos os tempos. Música-tema magnífica. Parabéns a banda..
Elegante Uniformen, und sehr sehr gute Marschmusik, gefällt mir👋👋👋
Simply foxtrotting awesome. The best.
Absolutely Grand!!
Brilliant...... Good luck to you all
My school band, beautiful.
If you haven't seen the film, you must put it in the top of your queue. It's that good.
How could you not have seen this film?
Perfect on all details
The best band in the world!
Love this.
Me encanta. Muchas gracias.
Scotland has great marching bands
Except this one is British!
DANG !!!! WHOA !!! Salute, USN Machines' Mate.......
Perhaps the most impressive achievement of the Royal Marines is navigating the pot holes of Glasgow. Is Bruce Anderson of Lower Mains still in the Marines? He needs to get out there with his bucket of tarmac! Mad Bob canny drive up those roads!
I was thinking the same thing. I play dodge the pot holes each day on our roads here in California. We have no street lights but I know where the pot holes are, I'm sure anyone coming behind me not familiar with the road I stay on must think I'm drunk, as I'm going from side to side.
Amazing..
This march was a part of my childhood here in the Philippines. Almost always, the march that they play during fiestas.
Then my father owned a long playing record of marches that included this.
I haven't heard this for a long time, and when I hear it now, I got teary-eyed remembering days past.
Superb. I wonder how many immediately started internally singing "H*tler has only got one ball"?
Just Brilliant.
Love this
When it comes to putting on a military show the whole world applauds the Brits.
Best reg.in the world.my dad was one and my uncle Cameron was po a po in Burma.. i àm very proud.
Man. Is. The. Most. Elevated. Of. All. Creature.
And the only one trashing the planet. Go figure.
Excellent my brothers.
Que emocionante, me encantan éstas bandas.
Awesome!
Magnificent!!
It is fun to walk around in Glasgow.
Magnificent!
Quel plaisir d écouter et réécouter cette musique fantastique du film le pont de la rivière Kwaï
THE BEST OF THE BEST 😂❤😂❤😂
Fabulous 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️👑
The Royal Marines posted shipborne orders through drums, hence their unique formation in band marching with the first rows as drummers in honour to that tradition …🥁🥁🥁
