WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:02.018 Welcome back to marine barracks 00:02.018 --> 00:04.296 Washington . I'm Colonel Teague pastel , 00:04.296 --> 00:06.351 the commanding officer . This week . 00:06.351 --> 00:06.090 We're gonna take you behind the scenes 00:06.090 --> 00:08.060 and show you our drums , Major for 00:08.060 --> 00:10.282 United States Marine Corps Band and the 00:10.282 --> 00:12.449 United States Marine Corps drama bugle 00:12.449 --> 00:16.290 corps . Yeah , music adds to the parade 00:16.500 --> 00:19.530 energy in motion , timing , rhythm and 00:19.530 --> 00:23.060 a sense of passenger . My name is 00:23.060 --> 00:25.393 Master Sergeant , Joshua , Danny miller . 00:25.393 --> 00:27.449 I'm the assistant drum major for the 00:27.449 --> 00:29.449 commandant zone , the United States 00:29.449 --> 00:31.600 Marine Drum and bugle Corps . Our 00:31.600 --> 00:33.656 preparation for parade season begins 00:33.656 --> 00:36.240 back in january of every year . It 00:36.240 --> 00:38.351 starts with us learning our music and 00:38.351 --> 00:40.407 motion program . We typically travel 00:40.407 --> 00:42.640 out to Yuma Arizona to learn our field 00:42.640 --> 00:45.040 show from there , we'll take that on 00:45.040 --> 00:47.620 the road with the silent drill platoon . 00:47.630 --> 00:49.686 The United States Marine Corps Color 00:49.686 --> 00:51.574 Guard will form a unit called the 00:51.574 --> 00:53.686 Battle Color Detachment . We tour the 00:53.686 --> 00:55.797 country with them and providing music 00:55.797 --> 00:57.852 and ceremony when we get back to the 00:57.852 --> 00:59.908 barracks in March . Typically we are 00:59.908 --> 01:03.650 ready to go for the parades . So for 01:03.650 --> 01:06.630 our drill music specifically learning 01:06.630 --> 01:09.400 how to write the movements for that 01:09.400 --> 01:12.870 music . It requires a lot of skill . So 01:12.870 --> 01:14.926 internally we have marines who write 01:14.926 --> 01:17.260 our drill program and it lines up with 01:17.260 --> 01:20.320 the musical phrases . It's a very 01:20.320 --> 01:22.431 complicated process , but our marines 01:22.431 --> 01:24.320 make it look easy and we're every 01:24.320 --> 01:28.120 performance well . Our 01:28.120 --> 01:29.953 music is chosen based off of the 01:29.953 --> 01:32.064 commanding officer's intent of marine 01:32.064 --> 01:34.009 barracks Washington . He gives the 01:34.009 --> 01:36.290 intent to our directors and from there 01:36.290 --> 01:38.570 they are able to program our concerts 01:38.580 --> 01:39.580 for the Summit 01:47.740 --> 01:49.851 Master gunnery Sergeant Dwayne King , 01:49.851 --> 01:52.129 Drum Major , United States Marine Band . 01:55.240 --> 01:57.240 We try to select the music for each 01:57.240 --> 01:59.462 ceremony based on the guest of honor or 01:59.462 --> 02:01.407 hosting official . If we can tie a 02:01.407 --> 02:03.351 piece of music to a location where 02:03.351 --> 02:05.573 they're from , a command that they have 02:05.573 --> 02:07.796 served at , a place that they hold dear 02:07.796 --> 02:09.962 in their hearts somewhere . Maybe they 02:09.962 --> 02:12.129 went to college . We try to do that to 02:12.129 --> 02:14.184 make the , make the ceremony special 02:14.184 --> 02:16.184 for them and tie them into making a 02:16.184 --> 02:20.030 part of it . The library is essential 02:20.030 --> 02:22.086 in helping us prepare for ceremonies 02:22.440 --> 02:25.290 With over 80,000 sheet music titles in 02:25.290 --> 02:27.123 our holdings , we have a team of 02:27.123 --> 02:29.346 librarians . It ensures we have exactly 02:29.346 --> 02:31.457 the music we need , whether that's an 02:31.457 --> 02:33.623 evening parade , a performance for the 02:33.623 --> 02:33.510 comment of the Marine Corps or even the 02:33.520 --> 02:35.520 president of the United States , it 02:35.520 --> 02:37.520 helps us pinpoint exactly the right 02:37.520 --> 02:39.576 music to perform for each chairman . 02:41.240 --> 02:43.296 The Marine Band would not be able to 02:43.296 --> 02:45.629 perform its mission without the library . 02:45.640 --> 02:45.960 Mm . 02:51.340 --> 02:52.440 Yeah .
