- The Band of the Royal Marines Plymouth visited Sydney, Australia, as part of the International Fleet Review celebrating the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy fleet into Sydney Harbour in 1913. As a British colony until Federation as a nation in 1901, previously the Royal Navy operated from Sydney. From 1913 the permanent Royal Australian Navy bands wore the Royal Marines ceremonial uniform until around thirty years ago.
At 2:47, in the background just above the Drum Major, about 50 metres away, is the exact spot where Captain Arthur Phillip RN, landed in 1788 with Royal Marines to establish the first European settlement of the Port of Sydney, Colony of New South Wales and eventually the Nation of Australia.
On 9 October 2013 the Band formed up in The Rocks area of Sydney and were near the rear of a parade of contingents from all visiting vessels down George Street for review by the Governor General of Australia. They were immediately in front of the H.M.S. Daring contingent.
The Director of Music, Royal Marines School of Music, Portsmouth, Major Jason Burcham, can be seen standing behind the Drum Major at the step off.
Whilst it was 28 degrees Celsius (83 F), the following day was 37 degrees!!
The Band had a final performance at the Capitol Theatre on 10 October, some recreation, then departure on 13 October 2013.
All the Royal Marines bands have a great musical heritage and behind the public performances is an enormous effort to excel. Plymouth continued this excellence in their Sydney performances.
Performance of the full music "H.M.S. Ocean" (thank you lirbugler) at the end of this clip can be seen in the link below, a week earlier, in Wellington, New Zealand. However, the brass section sounds much sweeter in Sydney, the warmer weather perhaps?

The cream always rises to the top, brilliant, fantastic, the best band in the world.
Our Royal Marines.
The best of British bands long live the Royal Marines
My son was in the band and it's the best video yet of them in Australia. Thank you so much
Shocking work by all the parade staff!
In my description, I've added a TH-cam link to a full performance of the music, a week earlier, in Wellington, New Zealand.
Thank you norselion. It was great to see them. I would have liked to get more footage of them playing however I had to go.
It would be cool if they came back over to Australia and as a bigger band like they do in England..
Doing what Royal do, goosebumps down the back of the neck
Australia's association with the Royal Marines goes back to 1788
Didn't see the march but watched the concert bu the Opera house
we was standing around for about 45 minutes before the march even started
craig furber r
craig furber tot
Nice tour
Great Camera Work... Thanks for the upload!
The Drum Major told me, then I promptly forgot. He said it was "H.M.S. ........."
I want to know as well, because it sounds like a great piece of music. The ensemble sounds perfect, however I have to say the cornets and bugles sound especially superb from 4:10.
HMS Ocean
Hms collingwood?
2:35 = my big brother!!!
Thank you hotyute. Regards.
I prefer the donuts Ad. Very funny
Matlow drilling at its best right there!!!
It is spelt MATELOT
thannk yjou tak jou
How the hell do you get out of step whilst marching to a band?
Steve Bird by starting off incorrectly in the first place!
@@sharonhoare5790 then you'd change step and should continue to be in step
For matelots it's part of the job spec.
One thing I can say is that the US Navy would NEVER have this problem due to a certain movement we have
What you on about?
The March is 'HMS Ocean'
Thank you lirbugler.

But thee Royal Marines takes the Biscuits 🍪& Donuts
Poor Royal Amateur Navy, couldnt march for crap, even to the best band in the world, shocking RAN.
Lucky it was the Royal Navy then.
That was HMS Daring not an HMAS ship
Wow it must have been hot in those uniforms : /
Sure, soldiers must be in form in every condition no matter what
They have an all white uniform for hot conditions, dunno why it wasn't worn here..
On the euphonium?
I didn't think the Royal Marines would just put their instruments down on asphalt! Makes them look lazy. Great video of them standing around doing nothing with 10 seconds of music at the end.
Anything but lazy...2 hour wait till we marched off...look after your men and women and they look after you...I was the Drum Major that gave the order...result...we were fresh and ready for the Parade (Instep).
Even the infantry has a drill movement called ground arms
Royal marines and lazy should never be used in the same sentence.
I'm a former trumpet player, and under no circumstances would I ever place my trumpet on the pavement. I was quite shocked to see that. A student quality horn is over $700, and professional grade horns run $3000-$4000. Even if the government pays for them, it's an unacceptable practice.
Quite common in the military for atleast the drums to be placed on the floor. You must recognise though that they are stood in thick dress uniform with metal in their hands in 26 degree heat.
Knob jockey
4:16 What the Hell happened?
Excellent performance (as always). Should not have any women.
Frank Bryant Musician isn’t a combatant trade in the forces you do know that right you knob
Froth all you want, but girls do not belong here, nor in the Guards regiments, as it literally beLITTLES the show.
I mean, why? There has never, ever been a height restriction in the British Army for bandsmen, Christ, there's a reason drummers used to be called Drummer BOYS because they were frequently no older than twelve or thirteen. Why should we implement a height restriction now, for no good reason?
Perhaps I agree with you for actual infantryman in the Guards regiments (but even then I'd argue the content of your character as well as your ability should determine whether or not you should be a guardsman, rather than something you have no control over, and which in the modern day provides you no tactical benefit whatsoever), but here in this video you're seeing Marines and Naval personnel, neither of which have EVER required servicemen to be tall in their entire history, so I've no idea why your complaining?
Unless their tall 🤣
The navy can't march for shit 😂 😂 😂obviously not the RM band
That marching by our Navy was a disgrace!
Jason West well,as they say,sailors don’t belong on land.
Marines dont where helmets
Of course they do, don't talk rubbish!
Yes they do
These are the "Royal" Marines you clutz.. not te "US" Marines
lol... google is your friend, when it doubt don't say anything and look it up. :D Well done lads, we are proud of you back home.
And I suppose they don’t, just because a keyboard warrior says so
