Who's still watching in 2024?

A big salute from a retired Navy Chief. Well done, folks.

As an old timer former Naval Officer and Naval Aviator, I think that was damn cool. I felt real pride. Good work fellas!

I never get tired of watching this. It's so fun and puts me in a good mood every time! Love the brass overlay of "Anchors Away" near the end - that was inspired musicianship! Living near Annapolis I get to see all the young midshipmen strolling around town in their spiffy white uniforms - and it just swells the heart of this former navy wife with pride when I see them! They are a such a credit to their nation!

I’ve been watching this for over 8 years and it still makes me dance in my seat 😊. Brings back great memories of a beautiful town for a former Midshipman’s Mom. This is my favorite video EVER.

You guys are INCREDIBLE! God bless the US NAVY and God bless America!

As an 'Almost Zoomie' (USAF Academy selectee) from 40+ years before this vid, all I have to say is 'Well Done, Squids!' Great presentation, and Stay True...

Awesome, Well done Mids. Thanks to the great town of Annapolis for encouraging and allowing this wonderful video to be filmed downtown. What a wonderful way to promote both the Great Town of Annapolis and USNA.

GO NAVY!!!!! LOVE IT! Wish my Uncle the Admiral and Dad a Commander where still alive to see this they would love it! I'm a NAVY BRAT and proud of it!

'51 didn't haven any such fun in 4 years! Love it.

Thank you for your service ladies and men.

For 3 decades I worked in Baltimore TV. This is very high level, the music is excellent and the camaraderie is inspiring. Middies are portrayed as fun, real people who are clean living and honorable on their leave day. I give only kudos! excellent. Old fogies don't complain.

My Dad was a Pearl Harbor survivor. The USS Honolulu CL-48. This would have tickled him. I think it's great! 👍👍

My husband lived in Annapolis all of his life and I am so happy that I was able to join him there! Our daughter married one of these handsome men and they married in their beautiful Chapel! LOVE Annapolis and the USNA! THANK YOU for this GREAT Video!!!! TERRIFIC!!!

the way he says 'im so pretty'

Oh you All make this Navy Mama Proud! Keep up the Fun! and as usual stay safe and NavyMama Hugs!! #GoNavy

Longtime Maryland resident, been to Annapolis innumerable times: Great job Midshipmen! Thanks!

I am a New Zealander and I love watching the American armed forces (Army, Navy and Air force) bring out such wonderful musical talent like this. And many more previous ones. Be nice if some of your armed forces came to New Zealand and performed like that (with approval from powers to be of course). Be good if they sold tickets or took donations and gave the profits for the returned services.

Grand daughter in navy, so proud of her!, you go girl.. thanks for protecting our country.. love u MUCH...

This song was played over the speaker system at last night's soccer game at USNA. Very motivating walking back from Mahan.

As a 25 year enlisted Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant, and someone who lived in "naptown" in my youth working at Chick and Ruth's Deli, this was done very tastefully. I am usually very hard on this type of thing where we disrespect our uniform, even if it is just an academy uniform, and I saw no one wearing the uniform improperly. Lastly for anyone who has ever served, knows at our Marine Corps ball, Navy ball, Chiefs ball and any other time we celebrate our heritage with our blues, whites, evening and mess dess, know we throw down like this behind closed doors.Semper Fidelis and go Navy beat Army

So many reasons to love the Mids...now I have one more. Great job! GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

I grew up in a Military School City and I live in one now too. Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines, and Space X. You’d be surprised at the prestigious Military Jobs. Engineers, Captains, Pilots (Carriers). You just don’t know what these Branches are capable of. Thank you Jesus Christ for my Military Service Forces. 💜🙏🇺🇸

Nice touch with the anchors aweigh towards the end. Badass lol

This is just fantastic! Not only did you put this amazing facility and gorgeous town in the spotlight, the production quality is stellar!

Even if I weren't a Navy widow (hubby was a carrier-based fighter pilot) I would still think this is a FABULOUS video! FANTASTIC choreography. Great singing. Wonderful editing. Fabulous lyrics. TERRIFIC EVERYTHING!!! I can't stop watching it LOL.

Heck.... I have family who was mostly Army but this is like wow....

I freakin LOVE you guys! NAVY 90 BEAT ARMY!!!!!

The talent, diversity and willingness to move forward makes me a proud '81 grad. Good work fellas and ladies!

What great fun! Thank you for letting me see how much the United States Navy has changed since I was stationed in Annapolis. I'm so old that I just figured out Naptown means Annapolis. Great performances. Great production.

Thanks Ryan! Go Navy, Beat Army! You have done such an awesome job at making all of us proud of our Navy kids and connections and have made us smile!

I may have been born at West Point when my Dad, a graduate, taught there, but even I can see this is Fabulous!

That guy up front singing has style to die for, yo.

I love these spirit spots and this one is right up there with the best. Great job representing USNA, Maryland Ave and Annapolis. You make us proud. Go Navy!!!

Looks like Youngster year is a whole lot more fun than I remember! Well Done !! Fred, Class of '75

I love Annapolis, and I love these funky Middies ... on liberty and having a “funky” time in Naptown!

I keep coming back to watch again and again. LOVE IT! You all are ROCKIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's wonderful and love it! There is nothing like being in Annapolis and the Midshipmen coming through town, males and females, looking fabulous in those Whites. I laughed at the Zoomies line, my husband is retired Air Force and that's the first time I ever heard that term! I also like how they call out San Diego, Norfolk and Chicago. Great job!

I LOVE this video!!!! I re-play each morning to start my day!!!

I am sure Bruno Mars would be very proud of all of you! Good job by all..enjoyed watching this!

Love this - never gets old! Two thumbs up to all involved in this production. Thank you Navy!

This is why I truly enjoyed my tour as a Company Officer at USNA 1999 - 2001. Go 15th Company! These kids are awesome!

Shout Out to Trident Brass for coming in STRONG with "Anchors Away" at 3:00!

this was a treat for me and my husband. We had our first dates on those streets... and I am so glad they got rid of those silly caps for the women.....still married 30 years on and Annapolis was the best town for dating.

WOW! I LOVE it. Awesome!!!!

So much Maryland pride right now.

This is a highly styled production, done on "0" budget in four hours! WOW. Proud to be a Naval Academy mom, USNA Class of 2013!

CO: Ensign, you did a great job on that dance video. We're assigning you to a staff billet producing films for the Navy! Ensign: But sir, I wanted to go to the fleet!

AWESOME JOB GUYS!! SO PROUD TO LIVE IN ANNAPOLIS! YOU MAKE US ALL PROUD!

"Salute myself I'm so pretty..." Awesome!

As a recovering naval officer and instructor at USNA I love the pride and spirit ! Go Navy!!

Loved it-Made me smile.You have a real talent with the camera Rylan- Excellent performance Midshipmen "Salute yourself"

My dad was proud to be in the class of '53 and I wish he had lived to see this. I grew up on Spa Creek in Naptown and spent lots of great times at USNA as Dad kept up w/ all sorts of Academy happenings & activities and, of course, we never missed a home football game. I think I was in college before I found out the last two words of the Star Spangled Banner weren't "BEAT ARMY!" I never get tired of this video, it really is why Naptown & the Academy are so great.........and, helm yeah, we BEAT ARMY this year! Maryland Avenue will never be the same. Rylan, I just read you will be leaving the Navy soon. I wish you all the best in your civilian endeavors and please come back to Annapolis when you can!

LMFAO MY DAD LOVED THIS AND HE USED TO BE IN THE NAVY SO YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT!

Love these guys, such a great beat, and the dance, too

Hah, "Marco, get the duty van" had me dying

Officially in a good mood this morning. This is phenomenal!

Wish my dad could have seen this---he was in the Navy and fought during WWII (Pacific theater) and Korea. He would have been so proud!

This is AWESOME! I watch it over and over. I hope the other cities take them up on the challenge. The Zoomies should too! Nothing derogatory at all -- shows how proud they are of the uniform they wear. Love it. Go Navy!

Awesome! LOVE THIS! Can and will watch it 1000 times. God Bless our US Navy, so nice to see them having fun. How hard they work, how humble they are, how so very proud of them so very much! Thank you so much for all you do, please know how much we appreciate it! BRAVO ZULU!

Awesome video, makes me proud to live in Annapolis, work at the Academy, and be a part of these fine mids lives. GO NAVY!!!

I love it! this is a top notched production, done on "0" budget in four hours! WOW. Proud to be a Naval officers wife, USNA Class of 1976!

It's so cool to see how viral this is becoming even after only a couple of days! Proud to say I was one of the first 10k to view it! Go Navy, Beat Army!

This is so amazing!!! Great work by the midshipmen :)

That was a great piece of artwork. Thanks to everyone, it made my day.

"We're beating Army tonight"

What wonderful talented young men in our military academy we have. Makes me extra proud to be an American.

Having benn accused of being a former " Yard Engine" ( I was Not!), I am always amazed and impressed with the Talent, Creativity and Ingenuity Of the Middies! Go Navy!

I love videos like these she hard working solders can have fun and sing popular songs!

It's funny, fresh, funky, entertaining and very fun to watch. I love a man in uniform who can dance!

Wow! Rock in it.. Awesome video.. Prayers for you all and thank you and God bless.

I love this and how it not only shows their love for the USNA, but their port. It raises awareness that there are people in those uniforms...people loving their service, community...people having fun in their job. Awesome. And I'm a USAF brat. I'm enjoying the types of videos that go viral. They show humanism.

It's a master piece even to this day, just absolutely beautiful.

I love this. Middies, Annapolis and Mars. Best combination ever.

My husband has 23 years service in the Navy. My dad was a SeaBee.You make us all proud.

I loved the song in its original version. I love it even more now. Go Navy, what a creative and great group of our future leaders having some fun!

Wow! Great video! Thanks for your hard work! So well done!

now that's military funding I can get behind!

The amount of practice and planning that must've gone into this! Unreal!

FUNtastic! Loved every bit of it, you guys and gals rock. Proud to be American!

That is AWSOME!! This Corpsman Salutes you!!!!!

Really very well done. I'm a Canadian and it makes me proud to be a wanna be American. I'm glad to see that 99% of the comments are positive and I can't understand how anybody can see this in a negative manner. Hopefully Ellen will fly you guys and girls all in to perform on her show. Be proud, be safe.

This video is so cool. I saw it on the news a while back and have like is ever since. It's great to see those hard working young people who will defend our country someday having fun and getting down . Bravo!!!!

Love this video. My husband is a retired colonel and there's something so attractive about a man or women in uniform. When you add the music and moves. Wow. Well done.

Community love! Great work! Annapolis, MD!!!

Please no bashing. These young men and women are well-deserved of respect and support from all of us. GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Perfect son, Go Navy!

Hey, you old fogies out there who express hate for this fun and contemporary take on midshipman life, get a life! I am a USNA grad and retired career officer, and I remember how the old folks used to disparage us when we blasted "I gotta get out of this place" out over T-court at lunch time with our huge speakers or how our morals and behavior were generally looked down on by the oldsters. Seems we came through the whole ordeal with honor, and I expect these young folks will too - SO BACK OFF!

make me remember JAG, an all time favorite of mine, congrats to all of you

Awesome job to Nick and the gang. You guys are obviously REALLY smart to have time to put this together while passing class. Me, I was just fighting for a 2.0. Keep up the great work. USNA '88

The "new" face of Navy?... Don't believe me? Just watch!! Love it!

Amazing college promo video!

And they beat #13 Memphis 45-20 today! Anchors Aweigh from a retired naval reservist.

Best recruiting video I've ever seen. Great job midshipmen and women! WOW, done in just 4 hours...Hollywood could learn a lot from you all :-) US Army Retired LTC

Bravo Zulu :) (great effort, and outstanding feat of blending this song with 'Anchors Away'!!) THANK YOU all for your service to our nation!

This is definitely not the Naptown I remember.Class of 84 was way more funky, but this will do.Carry on... Go Navy! Beat Army!

Go Navy! Y'all did an incredible job on the lyrics and choreography!! Totally rocks!

OOH RAH! That was phukin'awesome!!!!!

I love this video. I never get tired of watching it. Great job to everyone who made it

Yall rock! I cannot wait to see what the other bases will bring!!!! Thanks from me and my students in 5-6 grade!!!!
