SPECTACULAR! The Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines Beating Retreat 2024 - Part 1

Thanks for uploading this superb video of The RM Beat, 2024. Nice to see that the format has remained traditional w/o any fluff acts added like Celtic Dancers, clowns, etc that you see in so many Tattoos now. This is the real thing, and long may it remain so. Hopefully The UK MoD won't cut these bands anymore. There use to be 10 RM bands each of 50-60 players. So imagine this event with roughly twice the numbers you see here. Still, with 5 bands they can still pull it off provided no more cuts are made in the future.

My boy with 30 CDO is there, proud of him Cpl Brown.

Amazing !! & all of them great Musicians' proud to be British watching them .....Even before the days of Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada, music has played a key role in the military. Keeping units marching in step, boosting morale and performing at ceremonial occasions are an inherent part of our history - and who we are today. Prepared for action.

Perfect lines, perfect steps, perfect time all whilst playing their instruments. Amazing.

Brilliant exquisite show! Loved every second of it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰First time watching it. Thank you so much for sharing!❤Waiting for part 2!!!

Proud to be British, and so very proud of our all our Armed Forces. But have the biggest soft spot for the RMB service, and the RMs👍👍👍

Best in world

Living in South Africa and still proud to be British. God save the king.

A great South African folk song

Sarie Marais was an old South African folk song often used by the Boer Commandos brought here by soldiers coming back from the South African Boer War and adopted by The Royal Marine Commandos. A very fitting tribute to those soldier farmers who fought with such tenacity for the land they had made with blood and tears.

The totally excellent Massed bands of HM Royal Marines or should I just say the best band in the world

Spectacular. Thank you for sharing this.

Very proud to be British and see these brilliant soldiers and musicians perform.

Precision is amazing. Well done. We are all proud of you, John M Land.

Very impressed with the one bass drummer marching backwards he turned at the 14.17 mark and again at 15.20 , something I don't thing I would be able to do!

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

Magnificent 😊British at their best 😘
