"Sunset" always brings a tear to my eye and a British salute to my white ensign of Her Majesty's Royal Navy and the union jack of the UK hanging on my office wall. A grateful Yank in Tennessee.

Royal Marines perfection, as usual.

Best in the world. No other military band comes evxven close. The drummers are fantastic..

Royal Marines bet military bands in the world..

Thank you for posting this. My 90 year old father, David Woods, became bandmaster in 1950. We’ve just watched the video together.

Absolutely marvellous, nice vid. Incomparable, there are no other words to describe HM ROYAL MARINES BAND.

always superb loved marching out with these guys when i was in RN gteat respect

Disciplina e Historia, hacen uno de los mejores Reinos, de la actualidad!!!.

Love this, such history and beauty.

i was there, was a great display & concert, hoping to go again next year too, seeing HMS queen elizabeth tomorrow arrive in portsmouth

We're watching spectacle of precision marching and great music. The photographer would do us a service by capturing the event without becoming a distraction.

Me gusta mucho las marchas militares por su disiplina y gallardia

Es una verdadera maravilla estas bandas musicales y Tanto las de Noruega como las rusas no hay palabras todas sin excepción son verdaderas maravillas delas cuales tendrian que hacer maravillar al mundo y no tantos problemas que seven en todas partes del mundo un gran aplauso para todos y cada uno de sus componentes de las bandas que ofrecen felicidad 100,000de gracias.

I really don’t like all the photographers moving amongst the band, it is too intrusive and will most certainly affect the concentration of the band members. If there was just one photographer that would be much better and more inconspicuous. Still the Royal Marines did us proud and played a wonderful beating retreat. I noticed they played auld Lang syne as they exited the guildhall. I wonder who was retiring from the band??

The tattoo is wonderful but the royal marine bad is seco d to none.

What a musical performance with precision timing. God Bless the Men and Women of HM Royal Marines

I once see The Royal Marine School of Music when it was at Deal in Kent

Its required to stand for the playing of evening hymn and sunset

"Fight to Win" begins at the 6:43 mark. I'm not particularly fond of the first and second strains but love the trio that begins at 8:22.

Amazing

Going to see the Royal Marine band tonight in Liverpool .

Why wasn’t anyone standing for the evening hymns?

The Britt's do it best !

Portsmouthvideos have a lot to answer for if that is their employees constantly interrupting the enjoyment of the crowd watching the display. There is no need for over intrusive interuption by photographers on the parade ground during this great display of both drill and musical ability!

No, the camera people constantly weaving in and out of the band have nothing to do with portsmouthvideos and I agree they did considerably detract from the brilliant performance of the band.

spentacle Those who can do, those who cannot take pictures of and generally impede those who can. There was a real danger of career-threatening injury to one of the band or a member of the public when that clown with the cine camera was walking backwards. I'm not normally a fan of the elfin safety gnomes but on this occasion...No respect from any of them.

An enjoyable performance

Must take years of practice and effort to do that so effortlessly.

I don't see the point of having the "conductor" of the band standing on the steps facing the band, if he's not conducting the music for the entire show. Other than the officer leading the band in marching & formation. The band can Clearly play & March on their own.

None of them are trained Marines they don’t do any Military training and serve as stretcher bearers only Some Buglers nicknamed “Sticks” do switch over and have to Join a Recruit squad for Commando training for 8 months then possibly more training for a Specialist skill

All band personnel are trained marines. They have to undergo the basic infantry training and are required to attain a high standard of fitness. They do not do the commando training but they support the commandos in combat zones with drivers, paramedics and logistics. They are certainly not tin soldiers. When they leave the School of Music they will join one of the five RM Bands. When the commandos are sent to war zones, they will go too and they will earn the same campaign medals as the commandos. Some band personnel have lost their lives serving alongside the commandos. As a former RM 40 Cdo. myself I can assure you that band personnel are held in high regard by the commandos.
