Aside from a really, really great performance by this band, I want to point out that they played "In The Mood" for a purpose. Not just because it was of the period of World War II, but because the fella generally associated with it, Glenn Miller, was a U.S. Army Air Force band leader when he died over the English Channel in 1944. The US Air Force band honors it's own in the place he died to preserve. A very emotional performance. Well done to the band - he would be proud. I am proud of you all. Ya'll wanna come visit: I'm buying.

My mother is British (from Sussex) and my father is American (from Boston). I'm proud to be the embodiment of the 'special relationship' between the US and the UK.

As a proud United States Air Force veteran and I was proud to play the trumpet in the United States Air Force God Bless America

The bond of two nations who faced down tyranny and triumphed. May it ever be so. God Bless the USA.

My dad loved glen miller when serving with the royal artillery during ww2, so much so he named me after him!!

RAF 1950's in Suffolk. Now in Canada. Met tons of these USAF Boys and enjoyed their company in B St E. Great Performance here - great memories with it. Met my wife of 60 years jiving to "In the Mood" and other wonderful Big Band numbers. Thanks for Posting.

How can you not dance to this awesome piece of music!!! Love it!!!!

A fine tribute to Glenn Miller . U . S . A . A . F. 1942 to 1944/ 1945 . Thank you from a Canadian citizen 🍁🇨🇦👍✌️.

Remembering all who gave up their tomorrows for our todays. My dad was one of them. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt and gave his life in the skies of Normandy on 24 June 1944 while on a mission against the enemy guns at Ft du Roule in Cherbourg. He never got to meet me, since I was born two months after his loss. He never got to meet my eight children. He never got to have a 29th birthday, celebrate the holidays with family again, never got to do a lot of things we all take for granted. So many of our heroes of D-Day did the same. We must never forget them!

Did you notice how the crowd got into it once they started playing In the Mood. Great performance.

I've watched hundreds of military band videos over the years from countries around the world and this is still my favorite

Sometimes men find themselves backed into untenable corners. We are told to love our neighbors which is normally unquestionable, but every now and then, we must stand and fight for what they believe in. I bow my head to all those who've stood against oppression and threats to their families. May we all find the courage to do what we believe regardless.

Almost 50 years ago I marched to the Air Force song at basic training. Today it still gives me pride and chills when I hear it.

Just another illustration of how brilliantly cousins relate. Love to all our cousins in the U.K. and throughout the Commonwealth. God Bless the U.S.A. and God Save the Queen.

I am Irish, Scot, Cherokee. This performance makes me proud to be an American citizen!

Long live the ties between the United Kingdom and the United States!

Beautiful....I get so chocked up hearing the military anthems......my father was in WWII.....I have so much respect for the military

I like the boy waving the UK and US flags. Thanks, USAF Guys. Major Glenn Miller is still serving his country.

FANTASTIC my brothers and sisters. I was in The Royal Navy Band, here in the UK. We also played Glenn Miller music, YOU GUY'S ARE GREAT!!!!!

Love our military bands. 🇺🇸 Cheers to everyone in the UK, it’s a crazy time but we will prevail.

I love the Brits! I spent 7 years stationed at RAF Mildenhall and loved every second of it. I left my heart there.....

What a fantastic band. They sound absolutely amazing.

All gave some.....Some gave All....God bless them, each and every one..

My Dad was on his second tour in England, when we were stationed at RAF Station Molesworth. His first was at RAF Station Greenham Common where he flew C-47s and HORSA Gliders out to Normandy during WWII. He lost a second cousin (Maj. Glenn Miller) who was lost flying to France.

"In The Mood" by Glenn Miller is ALWAYS a crowd favorite

Beautiful. A touching 'thank you' by the Yanks, and a heartfelt ''We love you" by the villiage. That's what it's all about.

Thank you for the music and memories of Bury St Edmunds. While in Europe I served at the 48th TAC Hospital at RAF Lakenheath. I now work and proudly serve our veterans at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center in Oklahoma. Just had to keep my military family around me. I love working with America's Heroes!

When I was stationed at RAF Alconbury back in the 80's I got REALLY LUCKY!!! I got to see this band play at RAF Fairford and again at the Bedford Corn Exchange. a little later and I think it was in December of the same year. As It happened, I was living in Bedford at that time, about an eight minute walk from the Corn Exchange. For those that don't know, the Corn Exchange is one of the venues that Miller's Army Air Force Band played in while they were stationed at Milton Ernest, just a few miles from Downtown Bedford. One of the performances there was attended by a certain Princess Elizabeth who is now Queen Elizabeth. She's up in her 90's now and I'll bet she still enjoys listening to the Glenn Miller Orchestra from back then every once in a while. The Corn Exchange got it's start as a marketplace for farmers selling their corn in the center of town. Now it is an auditorium. Later on I visited Glenn Miller Hall at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. That is where this band is stationed. They travel all over Europe bringing American music with them wherever they go. Even later I had the opportunity to work with the USAF Band in Washington, DC at Bolling AFB. They wanted to do a special concert on 15 December, 1994 to mark the 50th anniversary of Miller's Missing in Action status. They told me they never had any of the original sheet music from from that band so there would not be any concert. I asked if they could copy the parts from recordings and they said that was no problem. I told the man to meet me in my office the next afternoon and I would bring him something. 'Something' turned out to be about 50 hours of Miller's music from my personal collection. The guy almost fell over backwards when I told him I had the same again at home. He could have and copy it when he was finished with the the first half. Anyway we worked together on this project for the rest of the summer and beyond. In return, They took me to the Glenn Miller Festival in Clarinda, Iowa (Miller's birthplace and museum are located there), which was wonderful. Then as it got close to the day of the concert in Washington, they gave me four tickets to the performance. Two of the tickets went to my boss and his wife, both big Glenn Miller fans. A few years later after I had retired, I got to see the the USAF band when they visited where I was working at the time. Same band and same program. After the show ended I got to talk to several of the musicians that I'd seen back in Washington. Some of them remembered me from the original concert. PS: I cracked up when I heard the introduction to the first march in the video. The official name of it is The National Emblem March, written by Edwin Eugene Bagley in 1902 and finally published in 1907. Old guys like me remember it as 'Oh, the Monkey Wrapped His Tail Around the Flag Pole'. If you are really curious, you can copy the title from here and paste it into an internet search window. This was often the song we sang in Viet Nam while drinking a local product called 33 Beer.

I’ve seen this video before and Glenn would approve of how his Army Air Force Band has evolved so much and he would approve of this version of In The Mood also. Very well done.

My mother a Brit would have loved this so much Her boyfriend a Yank was killed on D Day she had a real soft spot for a Yanks as I do xx RIP Mam

The USAF rocks!!! Bless all who have gone before and all those who will carry on the blessed traditions of the combined services of the United States and Great Britain.

To All the Men and Women of any Country,regardless of race and Customs,who Fought and are still fighting for their country and for their people,gambling their lives against its Aggressors,I vow and Salute you.Long Live.

America and Great Britain United forever.

Thanks for publicizing this performance. My Dad, who passed last year, was part of USAFE band in the late 50s and 60s. It is a good reminder of him and the music he loved.

Bloody Hell they sound good. Good Ole American Swing and Jazz

anybody that disliked this never had anyone close or they never served their country

God bless the United States people and their armed forces of the Greatest Generation.They certainly took a major role in saving our bacon down under,(Australasia).

Honoring "America's Greatest Generation Of Hero's!"

My dad was 1st seat in the USAF Marching Band in the 1950's

Thank You the Brave and Courageous Men of D-DAY, You have my Respect.

And Glenn Miller smiled....

Sworn in a couple of days ago. My dad was stationed in lakenheath and this took place only six months after we got to England.

Today JUNE 6, 2019. We proudly pause to remember the Hero's who never came home from the greatest Invasion in History. This should be the One Day...the Entire World Remembers.

Great video. God Bless our free world. My father was a US Army Air Corps man!

Thank you. I was in one of the Air Force bands in the early 1980's, and this really brings back some memories!

My Daddy was stationed at RAF Lakenheath from 1966-1968.We visited Bury st Edmonds often.Nice video.

Glenn Miller in the mood 1939 so well performed by this band

"This video is beyond "Awesome"!!!!!, I am only 65yrs. young, but my Mom loved Glen Miller and I do, I know that he was in the Army Air Force, I wanted to enlist in 1972, but at that time, I was to small, I know how to fly a Piper Cub, that was pretty cool!!!!, I love all branches of our troops!!!!, my dad was a Marine in Korea, my uncle was an artist for the Air Force in WW2, and two of my class mates were killed in Viet Nam at the "Tet offensive", thank you for that great video, God rest Glen Miller and God Bless our troops always"!!!!! 👏👏👏👏💖💞💖💞🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm a 76 year old Nam vet and played trombone for many years and have played all these songs and they still leave me all choked up. I especially liked the fun showed "in the mood" because we were also a marching band and did half time shows before they all became crap with "singers" and TV commentary.

love these guys....I'm as proud a Brit as you'll find...but....

I am a dual national of usa and uk born in Banbury proud to have served in our usaf and worked alongside the british af wonderful life!

Was stationed at nearby Cranwich Camp with 53rd Ordnance/33nd AAA Brigade in 1955. Spent a night in Bury jail following too much good Brit beer,

What a magnificent marching band. I couldn't stop watching.

love this. these guys are the best. love the USAF.

I miss my days being stationed in Suffolk.The Brits are the best!

In the Mood is one of my all-time favorite bit of music, And I came along 10 years after the War Ended.

I've been through that gate many times. A great showing by a fine band.

my father was a line chief in maintenance on B-17's at Rougham he married my mother Joyce Wright from Thurston in 1944

The USAF was called the "Air Farce" by a recruiting Marine sergeant in a movie about the Vietnam War. But we should all remember the losses of the old Army Air Corp during WWII was close to 80,000. % wise... their death rates matched that of the troops who took Iwo Jima.

This is great band,hats off to the U.S. Air Force!!!!

Off they go in to the Wild Blue Yonder!

I had an uncle in the navy during WWll he gave his life fighting Japanese in South Pacific. Never got to meet him. his mother my grandmother always kept his picture for all to see and never forget him.😔😥 GOD bless all families who loved ones gave their life for us.

Just found this - boy do they sound impressive.

I am extremely impressed. It was a great rendition of the song, and the The Stars and Stripes Forever. I wasn't expecting the piccolo. I am impresses with the Air Force band, They even marched well, nigh a miracle for them!

I was at RAF Alconbury and RAF Bentwaters in the mid 70's. My daughter was born at RAF Lakenheath. Lakenheath had the hospital and every American GI and their dependents got there many times, through Bury St Edmonds......

that is what i like good old Glenn Miller

I love military bands

Wonderdful. I was a marine in the 60s but love that band music. My son did 23 years in the air force.

Great job with all the music, but especially with In The Mood. It would've made Glenn Miller smile.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was in the USAF from 1984-1988. Stationed at RAF Lakenheath, not far from Bury St. Edmunds.

They sound magnificent!

We will never forget they gave their day for us to have ours i respect you all RIP

Proud to be American and from the USA. Love all our allies too. Love, In the Mood!

What a treat St.Edmonsbury Suffolk got that afternoon. That's a lot of orchestral musicians in uniform.

Thank you for this video. It brings back memories when I was in the 215th US Army Band.

Oh man, goose bumps, wish every one would have gotten up and danced on 'In the Mood. Thank you.

my uncle was a door gunner on B17 with the 8th Air Force

Every time I think about how the band at Buckingham Palace played the Star Spangled Banner on 9/11... I fall apart.

My old band teacher was an old Korean War vet. Came to listen to in the mood, but hearing some of those other marches really took me back. Haven't heard some of them in 20 or more years since I was in Jr high

Even this old Army veteran loved that...

I’ve been to bury st Edmunds, just to have a look at ruins of the abbey, and the cathedral, so beautiful

Stars and Stripes Forever great song, thanks to the USAF Band

Fantastic Band !

My dad was a Logistics officer with mcarthur...mom was a rosie riveter, my brother Gary was killed in action in Vietnam...love and miss them!...

This video makes be so proud to be an American. I shed tears the first time I saw it.

Concert is now over! Over to the PUB, don't ya know?

I really love this video. I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath from '86-'88 and Bury St. Edmonds was one of my favorite places to go.

Lest We Forget , and the British people NEVER will

Thanks guys! The crowd loved it and so did I. Cheers Mate.

fab band first class good old yanks ...god bless you all x

God bless the USA !!!

Beautiful

Ahh, the music of the Glenn Miller Band. It brought back pleasant memories to many of the military personnel during World War 2. To some, it made them think of their lives with their families before the war. For others, it allowed them to forget about the war for at least a little while. And yet for others, it offered some entertainment before they gave their lives far away from family and home. As a US Navy and US Army National Guard veteran and a former professional musician, I salute our Allies both living and dead.

'In The Mood' starts at 5:50.
