Incredible Mr. Baton - - - to be so close to the members of the band! Had no idea that you have been filming your videos for so long. You truly are dedicated and I'm mighty glad that you appeared on my phone. Thank you so very much.
Great to see them again. We had the privilege of hosting the band some years ago in Larchmont NY. Then commanded by Lt.Col Waterer. May God rest his soul.
Her majesty's royal marine bands are the best military bands in the world. The Portsmouth one especially I'm biased born and bred in Portsmouth and Southsea. Loved their concerts and passing out performances. They are so special.
Not seen for a long time but still gives me the shivers and still the best by far.Seems to me that's PORTSMOUTH if I'm not mistaken 😀👍👍 Best of British 🇬🇧
Great effort with some excellent playing not sure what went wrong with the front rank at 3:30 which kind of let the show down a little although still good musicianship for a training band .
In musical notation. IMO, there's only one (very appropriate) word to to describe how "A Life on the Ocean Wave" should be played- it's not the conventional Italian, more the happy, cocky mood of sailors and Marines going ashore'..... "jauntily"!' Same goes for the Yanks excellent " Anchors Aweigh"
As an American I still don't understand why all the British Military bands have seen have the Bass Drummer wearing a tiger skin. Can someone tell me why?
Patrick this is a great explanation. "These skins helped protect the uniform from wearing out because the drums were so large and bulky. The tradition continues in certain British and Canadian regiments today. ... Some regiments allow the tenor drummers to wear a full leopard or tiger skin similar to that worn by the bass drummer." R. Marines band Tiger skins are to be replaced by synthetic fur - this might happen to all of them as well due to conservation/WWF etc. The tradition however, goes back to the 18th Century.
As rockywr stated, it was done to protect uniforms and began in the British African colonies when they recruited Africans into the band's ranks. "You may have noticed that in some pipe bands the bass and tenor drummers wear animal skins. The burning question is: Why? Well, the tradition began in the British military bands in the 1700’s. They discovered that the Africans that joined the Army were really good at playing drums and keeping beats. These drummers joined the 29th Regiment of Foot and later the Royal Fusiliers. These same Fusiliers would be sent to Canada in 1773 and serve in Montreal, Quebec, Fort Chambray, and Fort St. Johns. Every drummer in the Fusiliers up to 1899 was of African descent. These African drummers began the tradition of wearing the leopard skins when in uniform. These skins helped protect the uniform from wearing out because the drums were so large and bulky. The tradition continues in certain British and Canadian regiments today. Some independent pipe band drummers also wear the animal skins, such as The Pipes and Drums of the Edmonton Police Service,who use wolf pelts and a cougar pelt, the Thistle Pipe Band from Stockholm, Sweden, and the Lewis Pipe Band from Stornoway, Scotland."
Love watching Royal Marine bands...however, this was messy, counted at least 3 separate occasions where the drummers goofed up...awkward as they are the first rank to see. Normally the drummers are on point...sadly, not this case.
It’s usually a march played by Corps Of Drums. We play it quite a bit in the Yorkshire Corps Of Drums. It’s a nice tune that enjoy playing along with. I can usually add my own little twist on it with the bass drum parts.
They might not have rehearsed the movement part maybe as to when the drummers were to step off. Or maybe it was just simply a case of beginners nerves. I’m sure it would have been well rehearsed by the next parade. We all make mistakes though. We are only human after all.

You are very welcome.

Royal Marines Bands ......best in the world 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Scott Denness for drill maybe! I think the RAF have the prize for concerts!
Great to see them again. We had the privilege of hosting the band some years ago in Larchmont NY. Then commanded by Lt.Col Waterer. May God rest his soul.
I saw the Portsmouth band at Worcester MA a couple of years ago. Tremendous!

What an amazing piccolo player!
A single flute makes beautiful sound!
Not seen for a long time but still gives me the shivers and still the best by far.Seems to me that's PORTSMOUTH if I'm not mistaken 😀👍👍 Best of British 🇬🇧
It's fun to watch.. I enjoyed it
Makes you proud to be british well done the royal marines
Up and coming musicians great playing
I was 1.000 miles away then but glad you got the Video !
Great effort with some excellent playing not sure what went wrong with the front rank at 3:30 which kind of let the show down a little although still good musicianship for a training band .
Looks like the Corporal thought they were at the 6:48 part so he told them to keep going, but they actually weren't there yet
Baby Marine Bandys !💙❤️🤍
The band is very good, but I am not Happy with the spectators moving about with the Royal Marines and which spoil the bloody show
Christopher Norris are they not able to have security to keep pedestrians to the side. Well done by the way
The spectators didn't spoil the show, they just got in the vieuw of the cameraman:-)
I wonder how much sea time they serve. ? We had a marine band stationed at HMNZS in the 1950/60
One of the best there are 👍🎺👀👊🥁
You can be proud on yourself

Same goes for the Yanks excellent " Anchors Aweigh"
Love the way the civilian minder with the radio picks up the step at about 5:35.
I spotted that too. I'm the same but after 40 years marching I find myself doing it naturally too
No one plays Hearts of Oak quite like The Royal Marines.
❤well done
It's great. Thanks for sharing! But, is there 7:59 a drum salute?
What's the music peace after the first drum solo?
Eagle squadron
@@theironduke1 thanks

Edwin Bagley's National Emblem.

Did you cut out the drum solo?
No, it's on another video, imovie only allows you 15 minutes duration when you create videos on it.
Yo what’s up my buddy
Love watching Royal Marine bands...however, this was messy, counted at least 3 separate occasions where the drummers goofed up...awkward as they are the first rank to see. Normally the drummers are on point...sadly, not this case.
you do realise that this is the RMSoM band so these lot are still training so ofc theres gonna be goofs
You cut out the static.
What is the name of the march on 4:14?
Anne Schepers it’s The New Colonial March by R. B. Hall.
It’s usually a march played by Corps Of Drums. We play it quite a bit in the Yorkshire Corps Of Drums. It’s a nice tune that enjoy playing along with. I can usually add my own little twist on it with the bass drum parts.
Anyone who has given this a thumbs down is tone deaf, has no teeth, and has to wear a diaper.
안녕하세요.
3:35 what happened there?
Probably a bit of beginners nerves creeping in...
They might not have rehearsed the movement part maybe as to when the drummers were to step off. Or maybe it was just simply a case of beginners nerves. I’m sure it would have been well rehearsed by the next parade. We all make mistakes though. We are only human after all.
See that fat arsed woman twitching to the music.
I am an ex-Bootneck (National Service 1959/61) but can't help resenting wee lassies in the band, it just spoils the line!
3:27 Wtf did I just watch?
