Looooool

Or the timpani, ha

Or the bass drum. Lol.

one word. piccolo.

nah piccolo beats it

They were so in tune...🤩

Dude the piccolos killed it!

They executed it damn near perfectly (excluding the tempo issue which probably wasn't their fault), but when you play piccolo in a marching band with at least 10 piccolos for 4 years, and play Stars and Stripes all 4 years.. it gets irritating. I can't stand the sound of a piccolo anymore. Sorry for the mini rant

Victoria Bridgewater me an flute / piccolo player👁👄👁

Thank you for your service...and the spectacular performance!

I never realised before that the song actually had (official!) lyrics. As kids, my brothers and I ad lib-ed our own words to it, relevant to the situation at hand.

not an american so I never knew there was signing and it was amazing.

Same

Me too!! I actually got teary eyed! What a surprise!!!

It kind of looks as though some, if not most of these are recorded on base, like in the instrument storage areas, or one of their music rooms. At first I thought that too, but then I realized that they are active duty musicians, and although recorded separately, most(at least the bigger instruments) probably don't own or take home to practice.

I can’t get a good view, but they look like nice gigging drums similar to my timpani. What’s more interesting is that there is timpani on the recording at all, because scholars generally agree Sousa didn’t write timpani parts for his marches.

Trust me....your tax dollars paid for that timpani.

David Hunt They may be active duty but they are professional musicians so most of them likely own their own instruments.

Timpani is plural by itself. No "s".

2:18

damn man those chicks playing the flute are experts , anyways what instrument is that at 2:00 , the red one ?? I've never seen that before

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 that's a bassoon.. a very common instrument in an orchestra setting.

​@@MaestroSong its can't be that common since its my first time hearing the term " Bassoon " but its looks like a giant flute , its like a flute on steroids , I've never seen one before

@@MaestroSong looks cool , I've never seen one before , looks like a flute .

i was going to say the same thing! but 30 years, haha.

I feel like I knew it had lyrics from being in JROTC in high school or performing with my national guard band once, but I always forget until moments like this

Hurrah for the flag of the free May it wave as our standard forever The gem of the land and the sea The banner of the right Let tyrants remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right it waves forever

I’ve got significantly less years but I had no idea either - does anyone know whether the lyrics are from Sousa or if they were written later on?

@@lameborghini6980 They were written later on Sousa made his own lyrics.

GOD BLESS your brother. I always admire and honor military men.

Thank you for your service!

Amen

🙏❤🙏🤍🙏💙🙏

I've only known the last part without lyrics and have played that part only before in the band.

I just see floating heads playing instruments

Wierd glitch man

Yeah same... hmm that’s weird huh?

I cant be the only sad one because nobody got woooshed

Tenki Soma A brilliant use of tax payer money. Don’t you think?

@まく　頑張った！

HAHAHA

BAHAHAHAHAH-

That poor dog. It must be paralysed by the tume she played it...

Dead?!😅

The amount of reps do you half to do make it where your dog sleeping

Me sitting in my room squealing at the piccs because the sound of piccs is soooo cute. I invented the words . They mean "that's cute" or "that's glinty". I have synesthesia (I hear colors, shapes, and patterns) and I think the sound of piccs is glinty. Too bad my lungs can't handle wind instruments. I do play the organ, though, which I looove. My three favorite instruments are pipe organ, oboe, and piccolo.

@@claireforestgreenorgangeek7882 that's epic bro

That was a suspiciously unreactive couch pup. Just lying there, ignoring a piccolo playing right beside the couch... haha.

@@Fleetwing1627 which indicates he's heard his mom play many times before. He's just waiting for mealtime. LOL

SaltyTubers: Exactly!

There's always that one AH.

This is one my all time favorites; Marcia Carolus Rex. This march is dedicated to the Swedish King Carl XII, one of the greatest kings in Swedish history. Here performed at the courtyard of the Royal Palace in Stockholm by the Swedish Army Band. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esihgrSL0-DZXWQ.html

I can't get enough of those piccs in The Stars and Stripes!

Go piccs!👍

Yes, the piccolo part is the best part of this!

Much love to our Northern cousins 🇺🇸💕🇨🇦

Oh, man! But I am from Russia and absolutely in love with Mexican music, food and womens. But, I think columbiano also very good...

Garth: My favorite brass. I played when I was in the Navy.

@@notsohandytim5090 awesome

Congrats!

Good shit my guy

🤗❤🤍💙🤗

That's not what I've always heard. The only song we stand for is the Star Spangled Banner. National Anthem. Standing for any other song borders on disrespect of our National Anthem.

If that doesn't make you swell and put a tear in your eye, then you're just not an American patriot. There are other countries, other people and other political views on this earth. Please consider them/us, too

Why would it bring a tear to my eye? I'm not trying to sound rude

L!nus C. Nobody asked

If that isnt the most arrogant American sentence, then I don't know what is

@@nikn1250 Well, not directly. Robert Hume stated, that if I am not gonna swell of pride and if my eye is not full of tears, I am not a human. But I am And please consider, that you are not alone on this earth, and that everybody is equal, but not the same

I assume that they all have headphones because they're either listening to a metronome or the piece itself and playing along. Then someone compiled the audio tracks into one and voila

NotSoHandyTim I think that they each made an individual recording, and put them all together, because it would almost be impossible to do professional group music in something like a zoom meeting. At least, that’s what my music teacher said.

Crispy Nuggets Yeah it would basically be impossible because everyone has different internet speeds. Aside from cutting in and out if the connection gets unsteady, there's usually a delay that you don't notice until you and whoever is on the other end try to do something simultaneously

Yep, they all have probably have a metronome track or conductor video... so major kudos to the editor who put this together!!!! Then again, that wouldn't explain the one guy who clapped for the piccolos... so maybe they have figured out a way to perform more "together." 🤔 Anyway, PROFOUNDLY AWESOME!!!!! ⚓💖🎶⚓💖🎶⚓💖🎶

So do I. Organ, oboe, and piccolo are the best instruments ever.

Holy piccoly! (I just invented that phrase yesterday) I love piccolos.

Congrats to picc players everywhere. My favorite instruments are pipe organ, oboe, and picc.

I am a flute player too!

Tamee Marie Purdy And lets remember that 100,000 have died due to people like you and your incredible selfishness. This isn’t over yet. There are so many seniors and at risk people who cannot even go to a grocery store now that we have reopened the country because you won’t wear a mask to protect others.

@Tamee Marie Purdy i can promise you that nobody cares that you're an america. Sky

@Tamee Marie Purdy: Would you care to be more specific, so we don't misunderstand your comment?

@Tamee Marie Purdy you're probobly not racist buuuuut 😂😂😂😂

They were. But the strange thing is that the Piccolos were in sync with each other just not with the rest of the group. They were rushing equally.

I wondered, but the play was good and the overall quality just increased to the end; a real gem

Probably has something to do with the lack of a conductor in person. haha. Impressive performance nonetheless.

yes! it’s rare to hear the piccs and clarinets on the same tempo

I thought so too - but whoever edited this video could’ve easily fixed that, so it must’ve been intentional?

👍piccs👍 my third favorite instrument. Love it love it love it! It's a sweet tweet.

Come to my apartment building and play the piccolo out on the front lawn (I wouldn't mind it indoors but it might be too much for my neighbors)
