I am sailing always brings tears to my eyes. My late brother was in the navy and that song always reminds me of him.

This is truly amazing! The music is superb and just plain beautiful! The Royal Marines Band fascinates me and they always perform so perfectly! I'm not even British and they make me proud!! 🥰 Thanks from Tennessee, United States!! 🥰💗

Had the greatest of pleasures standing next to Britannia at Kuwait harbour when the Queen and Prince Philip were leaving. B eating of the treat was some thing else. Never been so proud to be British and cried my eyes out with sheer delight. Well done chaps as always

That is beautiful the Royal Marines never let you down.. They are just as good as a band as they are soldiers and so proud to be British..

The finest military band in the world, and they can fight. Rule Britannia.

Probably the best Military Band in The World. Great Musicians. Proud to be British.

As an ex Royal Marine Musician I loved watching this video. Thankyou...It brought back so many memories. Besides being a concert pianist, organist and choirmaster, in marching bands I was sometimes cymbals, sometimes piccolo, but mainly bass drum. I remember marching a lot of miles for the Lord Mayors Show in London wearing the old brown heavy overcoat, topped with a leopard skin, and a strap around my neck to supprt the bass drum. Unfortunately the rain descended during the whole march. I was soaked and the pretty stuff I was wearing became heavier and heavier. Fortunately I was ultra fit then, so survived!!! I didn't recognise any individuals, but that is understandable as I left the service in 1974, so most of them would not have joined by then. Thankyou Steve for this lovely film.

Cannot beat them for talent and smartness. Best military band in the world..

One of the finest bands in the world. Her Majesty's Royal Marines

Certainly, one of the finest military bands in the world! An absolute joy to hear.

This performance of Beating Retreat has several points of particular historical interest. As an example, the call sounded on Bb bugles from Time 23:32 can double as a field-drum exercise for re-enactors of pre-Victorian battles; drums were used as primary signaling for the advance, retreat, formation turn, prime and load, make ready and present fire, &c., before breechloading small arms became standard issue.

The Royal Marine School Of Music. Is fhe finest Military Band in the World. Hugh Semple. Northern Ireland.

My Dad took me to see The Royal Marines Scool of Music - Beating Retreat at Horse Guard's Parade in the summer of 1964. I still have the programme. It was a brillant evening of music and I can remember so clearly when they played "Sunset" at the end. My Dad served with No 40 Royal Marine Commando during WW2.

Thank you, HM Royal Marines School of Marines Band.

Excellent is all that can be said of these servicemen not only trained warriors but practiced musicians

I am always amazed by how young they are.

What a great performance and a fabulous choice of music

what a great band!!!!!!what a performance!!!!!!

I love this band.. im in a military band also its a youth band.. and we want to be just like you guys. Great performance

Greatest for ever The Royal Marines !!! Congratulations and many thanks...... Rolando A. Mercado

Fantastic! Well done! You are such a credit to your family, regiment and country!

A wonderful version of Rod Stewart´s "I'm sailing"

So intertaining, unique performance. I really enjoyed their music!

Sorry I left London. I am missing the Massed Bandsof the Royal Marines! Hello from Spain and Paris.

Perfect, as it should be. The best in everything they do.

Excellent！ I have really fascinated by their performance-style. Greetings from Japan.

Thanks Steve one of the best RM videos I've ever seen.

God Save the British Isles and their People.

Orgulho do País! Harmonia perfeita. Evolução impecável. Som maravilhoso. Parabéns ao maestro e cada componente. Extrato da Nação.

It’s wonderful the wonderful Audience APPRECIATION of these Top Class Band, to the Applause & Cheers .. Best b And.

Love Shrewsbury Fair March - thanks for posting this.

Simply the best.❤️

Wonderful acts of marching and magnificent execution and playing of music.

I can't stop listening to this. Honestly it's amazing. But one thing I would love to see is a song list if anyone has one.

Vous êtes vraiment les meilleurs !!!

My favourite memories of the days that have now passed, but we've got them on the video PARADE

So happy to hear Sarie Marais 🇿🇦 Excellent timing & marching.

they are amazing

Approved! Good show ,excellent sound recording ,thank you

The quality of sound is so great it's as if you are listening to a orchestra at times then a very precision band at others. Love it ! By the way Steve Spurgin. I'm positively no expect on film quality but usually do have a good eye for detail. I positively see no lack of film quality with this video. Not any thing more you could do using a single camera. My compliments to your excellent quality !

It is unlikely that you will hear music performed so expertly, yet so stirringly, as when the Royal Marines Band begin to play at 18:09, highly unlikely. The number that the Royal Marines begin to play at that time was performed to perfection. Watch when the Snare Drums slow march to the front of the Royal Marines Band near the end of that number; the shuttle step is guaranteed to amaze you, as it did me (and I am not easily amazed.) To truly appreciate the expert drill of that number, you will have to watch the video at that time again and again.

The Gael has to be one of my favourites!

고맙습니다.

La primera marcha es autor Baden Powell "Oh sare mare"

★★★★★멋지네! 최고!

Best military band in the world

Class Band of Musicians, The Royal Marines.

Still the best military band in the world! and yes Bloody good in battle too. Look at some of these guys medals. to the few who disliked this, you must be blind and deaf! or just plain ignorant!

Desde CHILE " RIOYAL MAR INES EXTRAORDINARIOS, WANDERFULL..TANTA PERFECCION MIENTRAS SE DESPLAZAN*** DESEO CONOCERLOS***

Remember, most of these young musicians are still under training and not yet qualified. You will also see some of their adult NCO Instructors in this band. That's why it is known as the Royal Marines "School of Music" Band ..... SuperNutkin

I think I counted about 42 musicians. I remember in the 1950s when the School of Music band conducted by Lt Col F Vivian Dunn was based in Deal in Kent and had 60 plus musicians. But at least the quality seems to be the same. Ah nostalgia.. Gerry Watts, Victoria Australia

Wonderful. Well done Richard. Proud mam.X

Oh so good they are!

First piece is called "My Sarie Marais" in South Africa

thank, that is the one. its great

I'm retired US Navy officer and agree with pip110

I am amazed that a single euphonium can sound like a half dozen!

This isn’t Beating Retreat. This is Sunset Ceremony

Great to hear Sarie Marais.

I LOVE MARCHING BANDS

Just what you expect from the Royal Marines

Britain at its best! Fabulous!

There is no doubt that this is the best military bad. Proudness of the Briti sch People.

great video

Excellent music & video.Armed forces are an essential part of any nation & brass bands are part of the same.Doubt still lingers regarding the origin of these bands-some say. it all started from Nepolean's time.This band music, act as an elixir to the soldier's spirit during combat.But the stark reality at the battle front tells us a different story which is difficult to digest & comprehend!

Very entertaining; so talented.

Enjoyed opening number " Sarie Marias"

Can I hear Sarie Marais being played? Yes I can. Wonderful

The correct title of this ceremony is Beating Retreat - not Beating THE Retreat. Sorry if this seems pedantic, but accuracy is essential in the military world :-)

Burning candle for Mom Queen

What is the name of music being played at about 19.00

Thanks

No wonder they are the best (sorry US marines) even their "school kids" are unbelievable.
