The Marine Corps band should perform the national anthem at every Superbowl and big time sporting event. They need to stop having the hot pop singer du jour murder this solemn piece of music by their soulful vocal inflections. It's the National Anthem, not the national love ballad.
Whitney Houston is to blame for the parade of singers mauling the anthem at sporting occasions ever since. It was terrible. This video is how it should be done.
Incredible. This is the definition of military precision. Perfect throughout. And that trombone at 1:15 ! And a perfect release. Absolutely phenomenal. This is how "The Star-Spangled Banner" should sound.
and one of her personal tragedies was her rendition of the national anthem. One minute. Up tempo. No embellishments. Shut up and sing the words correctly. If you can't hit the final high note, guess what, the same note exists an octave lower, and there are other cheats as a singer you can do, like talk your way thru it. It's not open to "interprifyin" Shut up and sing it. Quickly, proudly. You'll get a standing O.
Wee note to America from Scotland. You have a magnificent anthem when sung/played by your armed forces. When sung by rock stars, though, the world cringes. This was just brilliant.
Stunning.... I once dreamed of being a member of your esteemed ensemble. Such an amazing standard of not just straight forward musicianship but with the consistency and accuracy as that of the Swordsman or Riflemen on display. How many Americans understand what that truly says about us in our most positive manner possible. Thank you for your service.
This is the best rendition of the worlds greatest National Anthem I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. And performed with such style and grace.
This song brings tears to my eyes. I love the USA so much. Even when I don’t agree with the leadership, it just shows that the beautiful idea of American democracy is at work. And yes we have our flaws but we also have a unique ability to come together when times are at their worst. I’ll use one of my favorite quotes, “I miss 9/12. I would never want another 9/11, but I miss the America of 9/12. Stores ran out of flags to sell because they were being flown everywhere. People were Americans before they were upper/lower class, Jewish/Christian, Republican/Democrat. We hugged people without caring if they ate Chic-Fil-A or wore Nikes. On 9/12, what mattered more to us was what united us, not divided us.” - Elizabeth S Gray. That was an America in pain. But we stood strong. Our flag still flew high. We were more proud of our nation than ever. Then on May 1, 2011, thousands of people took to our streets, monuments, our government buildings, flying flags, pumping their fists, chanting ‘USA USA USA’. People say that that America is gone, but I don’t think so. I believe it still live in us, in our hearts, and it exists as the love for our nation, and it constantly shows itself, even in this video. If you pay attention you will notice that when the drum roll began everyone in the auditorium was seated, but the second those first 3 notes played, it was a fluid motion of everyone standing up. I see it at sports games. Tens of thousands of people standing and singing the anthem, hand over heart, hats removed, tears in their eyes. And when the anthem stops, an enormous round of applause, not just for the band, but for the nation. That’s what America is all about. The people. It’s a nation with the people, for the people, and by the people. Because America isn’t a thing, it’s an idea. An idea that everyone no matter race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation can live free and safe. God bless America!
@@matthewgold3054 This is what he means; the tune was from a popular British song, "To Anacreon in Heaven": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner
This performance is literally beautifully perfect. I have no idea why some jerks would give this a thumbs down... Thank you all for your service! Great job! I always enjoy listening to you all perform!
11 years late- I don’t like being American all that much but I can’t wait to play this in band. I’m in the 6th grade right now, and we’re not doing it until 7th grade, but we’re learning it early so we know it REAL well.
Thank you, again, for posting the bands in real time. I am a huge fan of your work. Your vantage point was great watching the Marine Band make the turn! Without you, music fans would not get to clearly hear the bands. Regular TV gives little time to musicians in the parade since they talk over the bands!
My heart is bursting right now. This is a masterpiece. This is how the anthem should sound. Plus, how all of them stand up while playing it! Showing their respect to America! I’m so proud to be American! I love the country that I live in. I would never ever change my opinion on that! Thank you U.S. Marine Band for being so respectful!
Appreciate, enjoy and love it, and have your own pride, sure. But grow up and speak only for yourself. Don't get lost in your own selfish need to be an insufferable dictator and yet again ruin everything by lording something, anything, over others.
Oh my god!!! That sounded so beautiful!! I kind of cried a little! Just listen to other countries military bands! This is literally a master piece! Absolutely the best band performance I’ve ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never fails, I get the chills every time I hear this. I love my country so much. In just a few days we will celebrate our independence. To my service men and women, thank you. Thank you for keeping our beloved country free. To the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, thank you. We will never forget and we will forever remember what it takes to keep our country free and safe. We love you and are eternally grateful for your service and sacrifice. God bless you. Happy Independence Day America.❤️🇺🇸🤍🇺🇸💙
Thank you to all our Americans and citizens for being here for us and protecting us we all appreciate everything y'all do and y'all deserve to be in first place in a competition I love your style band so much. I'm going to give you a shout out
I cannot believe that 74 people voted a thumbs down for our National Anthem. Countless numbers of our citizens have died to preserve the liberties and freedoms of our beloved nation. Our National Anthem is worthy of our greatest respect and honor when we hear it sung or played as we stand proudly for the nation the song represents. God bless America.
GOD BLESS THE USA, GODSPEED AND SEMPER FI UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!! VERY PROUD MARINE DAUGHTER, GRANDDAUGHTER, GREAT GRANDDAUGGTER, GRAND NIECE AND COUSIN. I AM PROUD TO SAY I LOVE MY MARINES!
I remember when I was in the Marines being at the position of attention hearing this great national anthem it would bring tears to my eyes..even to this day it does because it brings back so many memories of me fighting in Iraq for this great country and knowing how many good friends I lost there..I take it personal cause it was time away from my family back home and also seeing my marine brothers loose their lives for this great country..I love America and I would do it all over again for every great American in this great country..SEMPER FI !!!
This is the way our National Anthem should be played. Never any vocals, I don't care who the vocalist is, shut up, stand and salute. God Bless America and God Bless President Trump
After almost twenty-seven years in the United States Marine Corps---- "I FOR ONE HAVE SEEN THE 'ROCKETS RED GLARE'. I HAVE ALSO SEEN WHAT 'OTHERS' HAVE LAID ON THE 'ALTAR OF FREEDOM' FOR OUR 'BELOVED COUNTRY'. IN THEIR FINAL MOMENT OF LIFE AFTER SPEAKING OF THEIR MOTHERS AND GOD----"IS THE FLAG STILL THERE?" THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN A SONG. OUR ANTHEM IS A SACRED VOCAL COMPOSITION OF PRAISE AND GLADNESS. ----'WITH A FIRM RELIANCE ON THE PROTECTION OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE, WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR.' IT SEEM THAT A FEW OF 'WE THE PEOPLE' HAVE FELL SHORT OF THIS MARK." I would guess that you have NEVER been given a folded American Flag. I pray to 'GOD' you NEVER do.
That's our song, America. Our song for our land, for our people, for our past, our present and our future. Decide today that you are going to leave your country just a little better for your having been here and when it's your time to pass on you'll have done well.
Here it is in Spanish Mirad!, ¿Podéis ver al sutil clarear lo que erguido se alzó cuando el Sol se ocultaba? ¡Y sus franjas y estrellas en el rudo luchar, sobre recio baluarte gallardo ondulaba! Y la bomba al lanzar su rojiza explosión, en la noche dio a ver que allí estaba el pendón. "¿El pendón estrellado tremola feliz en la tierra del valor, en libre país?
Please rise for the national anthem of United States of America.
Cody Von Storm commander its a honor to see you again
Hi my admiral.you like too the star Spangled Banner
Of course
Imperial officer have you a Skype account ?
Cody Von Storm with all do respect i am sorry i dont have a Skype account
This performance of the star spangled banner should never be forgotten in American history, excellent Band performance 👏🏽👏🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I thought the end was a bit rushed, and a bit unsure, but still a worthy edition. TH-cam allows every flag but the American one
The end was fire🔥
@@17ksAlt Sure, if you like overly rushed, lackluster, just get it over with type of finales🤦♂
The Marine Corps band should perform the national anthem at every Superbowl and big time sporting event. They need to stop having the hot pop singer du jour murder this solemn piece of music by their soulful vocal inflections. It's the National Anthem, not the national love ballad.
John Lauter That's a good idea!
John Lauter I definitely agree!! pop stars ruin it like they're singing one of their ballads.
very good idea time to stop getting singers who can,t remember the song and that accounts for more then half of all singers in this country
agree
Whitney Houston is to blame for the parade of singers mauling the anthem at sporting occasions ever since. It was terrible. This video is how it should be done.
Theres a reason why the U.S. Marine band is considered one of the greatest……. Stunning performance
We played this in band and my tears started flowing
we are playing it in band rn and let’s just say my ears hurt
as in bc my band class can’t play it I LOVE THE SKNG
@@madelynperry3848my band is actually pretty decent
I love me
United States of America GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Tremendous
Found ya, again
Boston harbor is a teapot :)
God bless you America.
Everytime I hear this it makes me proud to be an American and inflicts a surge of patriotism with in every fiber of my being.
yes!
No
There is No name you Don't have to reply if you hate being American
There's always one in a group

Incredible. This is the definition of military precision. Perfect throughout. And that trombone at 1:15 ! And a perfect release. Absolutely phenomenal. This is how "The Star-Spangled Banner" should sound.
Well they are called the greatest band in the world for a reason. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The simple fact that they are standing while playing tears me up.
That low brass section.. Bass Trombone all the way!
Jonathan Fielding cdddvvfd no ydkjgeeb
I'm actually watching this to see if I'm playing it right on my trombone.
Stop speaking in incomplete sentences. So sick of every "that" comment.
FLUTES
Stephen Kramer every “that” comment.
note to everybody everywhere--do it this way, or don't do it at all.
+Big DogCountry Thank you!!! I hate bad renditions of the Banner, or when people try to change it. Ugh.
+Big DogCountry INDEED
+Cloverofmist Not those A-holes who try to sing it with all the yelling and high friggin notes....totally unecessary.
I guess she could hit those "high" notes because she was... "high".
and one of her personal tragedies was her rendition of the national anthem. One minute. Up tempo. No embellishments. Shut up and sing the words correctly. If you can't hit the final high note, guess what, the same note exists an octave lower, and there are other cheats as a singer you can do, like talk your way thru it.

Wee note to America from Scotland. You have a magnificent anthem when sung/played by your armed forces. When sung by rock stars, though, the world cringes.
This was just brilliant.
Have to say I agree. Our navy band needs to play this not pop stars.
Thank you Alan Mac, I agree.
I could not agree more
Ever heard of Whitney Houston
WEE NOTE TO SCOTLAND FROM AMERICA. BELIEVE ME WE KNOW, TYVM FOR THE CONFIRMATION!!!!
11:15 at night. I stood up, faced the direction of the flag outside our house, and put a hat over my heart.
It just felt like the right thing to do.
Stunning.... I once dreamed of being a member of your esteemed ensemble. Such an amazing standard of not just straight forward musicianship but with the consistency and accuracy as that of the Swordsman or Riflemen on display.
How many Americans understand what that truly says about us in our most positive manner possible.
Thank you for your service.
You guys should play "The Star Spangled Banner" at big sporting events like the Super Bowl! That was awesome!!!
This is the best rendition of the worlds greatest National Anthem I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. And performed with such style and grace.
I love this song and I'm proud to be a American 🇺🇸

You should live here !
Marine band is play the best national anthem
I don't know of a better song that brings out pride in being an American and can give you goose bumps!!!!!
Rob man it's a British tune
Lightning JSF how is it British? I would sincerely like to know how you came up with that opinion.
I like America
@@matthewgold3054 This is what he means; the tune was from a popular British song, "To Anacreon in Heaven": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner
clearly you’ve never listened to california girls by katy perry
The USMC Band is the best. USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think I found the version my High School plays every morning! Such an amazing national anthem!
This performance is literally beautifully perfect. I have no idea why some jerks would give this a thumbs down... Thank you all for your service! Great job! I always enjoy listening to you all perform!

This is probably the best anthem of the world, because you can feel in each musical note a patriotic pride that brings tears.
God bless America !
Great anthem, respect from India :)
Respect from America to India
When you hear this, you stand and pay your respect to the Flag. Period!
I pay respect every time
You don't have to do it but yes, respect other people around you who are standing up for our flag
fastfordman1965 or kneel
That and you should be thankful for the sacrafices that were made in the year 1812
Appreciate, enjoy and love it, and have your own pride, sure. But grow up and speak only for yourself. Don't get lost in your own selfish need to be an insufferable dictator and yet again ruin everything by lording something, anything, over others.
Oh my god!!! That sounded so beautiful!! I kind of cried a little! Just listen to other countries military bands! This is literally a master piece! Absolutely the best band performance I’ve ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I listen to this it makes me shed a tear God bless America🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
GOD BLESS USA !
Just a great tune! (Nice version).
i find it funny how they give us the exact same paper as this band
12 dislikes from ISIS
And radical leftists
and communists
"Stefan" already said that.
Who cares...leave if you like it.
Fk Isis
That was fantastic! Thank you for sharing it with us.
“That concludes our broadcast day”

This should be required listening for every music major pursuing a position as a band
director.
1:06 We Wish you a merry Christmas
I missed playing this in school, even though the whole time I had to just do a Double Stroke Roll lmao.
This anthem makes give respect to the lost blood of American patriots not present today
This my favorite way to hear the National Anthem with a US Military Band
Damn I loved that low brass
GOD BLESS OUR AMERICA
SEMPER FI
Beautiful rendition of the best tune ever, for an American. Well done!
Fantastic. What a beautiful performance. Thank you one and all.
This is one of the only songs that still gives me chills and makes tears appear in my eyes. Fuck im proud to be an american

Can I cry now?
It's so beautiful.

It doesn’t get any better. Shoutout to the trombones starting at 1:06… what??? Total perfection!
Respect to America
This is the greatest
best one so far in my opinion
It sounds so amazing that it almost sounds fake! 👍 Great job, Marines!

Why dislike this?
Those rapid drums are amazing. It sounds like gunfire.
❤😊🎉papa😊I love you😊
Good everything especially the upper brass like the trumpet and lower brass did great too!
The sounds are just so clean. Great performance
That's our song, America. Our song for our land, for our people, for our past, our present and our future.
Decide today that you are going to leave your country just a little better for your having been here and when it's your time to pass on you'll have done well.
What a great band. Some of these could get in The Royal Marines band
To the 44 who did not like the performance, get out of my country !
Beautifully done
Jesus Christ they sound sooooooo much better and more beautiful than my school band woow
Why are those ppl in the front row sitting?!?!
I love arrangements that use an inversion at 1:22. That D in the bass is so poignant.
I agree, much better than the arrangements with the V4/2 at that moment.
This anthem means a lot to us now. The nation is threatened by our old enemy, Authoritarian Russia. Let Freedom ring!
Let's add Pipe Organ to it
Happy Independence Day, America.
Happy 245th Birthday.

Here it is in Spanish

"¿El pendón estrellado tremola feliz en la tierra del valor, en libre país?
Ah I love the sound of America in the morning 🇺🇸☺
Sounds like ... victory!
This is dedicated to the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect our freedom. May the lord's grace be with them forever.
Gorgeous!
It goes without saying that of course the audience all stood up.
They should also play it during Christmas, since today is Christmas. God Bless America! 🇺🇸
I love it!! I love US!!!!!
