It gives you pride that the military is dressed in red coat? Even the military recognizes the brave soldiers before didn’t wear red coats, they wear this today as a “luxury” for the ideal situation.

I had a lot of ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. One of them was a drummer under George Washington. One of them had a conversation with Washington, my 5th ggf Samuel Ellis. RIP Jacob and Josiah Flanders, Elijah Moore ,Joseph Sargent, Samuel Ellis and the rest (can't remember all the names).

None of them wore red coat…. This is a disgrace to the brave soldiers who pioneered this country…. Fact: red coats started being worn in the U.S. military in 1960

This is the most American thing I have seen

Don't cut off the National Anthem and Taps!

If not mistaken, the drum major of the Fife and Drum Corps is the only personnel in the entire United States Armed Forces authorized to salute with a left hand. At 3:07, that's the drum major.

You are indeed mistaken. In the United States Navy, there are two instances when a member may salute with their left hand. 1 - If the right hand is encumbered by injury, preventing the render of a salute 2 - When a boatswain's mate is serving as a sideboy and is using his/her right hand to hold the call pipe, he/she must salute with the left.

Blue with red is for the soldiers the red and blue is for the music corp

These fools are wrong, a spokesman for the military band claims they likely did NOT wear red uniforms due to not having the budget, he goes on to claim that they wear red today as a luxury of the ideal situation, while claiming it was not actually worn by the continental army.

I'm curious as to the significance of having redcoats at a uniquely American war memorial.

US Musicians wore the reverse colors of their parent infantry units, so as to stand out on the battlefield. This made it easier for officers to locate them so they could signal commands. The soldiers of the 3d US Infantry Regiment wore blue coats with red trim, thus their musicians had red coats with blue trim.

@@AgressorNation Except that this is an active military unit, and today's military includes women. I get that it doesn't dovetail completely with the "historical reenactment" portion of their duties, but if you want pure historical reenactment, go to Colonial Williamsburg, or start your own group. There's no chance today's army will exclude women from any non-combat position. Nor should they, in my opinion. I do not feel that it dishonors the Continental Army to have honorable soldiers today playing in the Fife and Drum Corps, regardless of their sex.
