Who loves to watch/listen to Marching Bands?

I have spent 2 hours on YouTube watching all your beautiful marching bands. The Rose Parade of Band Directors Marching Band for 2026 was fantastic. Also, Quaker City String Band was a delight to watch. I only wish we had these types of Marching Bands over here. We do have Bands but only see them at ANZAC marches.

I'm particularly fond Scottish marching bands.

When I was a child I was allowed to follow the Salvation Army band as it marched back to the citadel in Dulwich Hill Sydney.

During our RV travels we often ended up in a US town during July 4th and other occasions. Americans know how to have a parade.

Our city used to have parades in which our high school marching band would play. Every year, I looked forward to hearing them play. They were sounded so good. I wish I could hear a marching band that good in person now. This is scene from the movie Drumline reminds me of how our band sounded but they'd keep that infectious beat going for several minutes.

I like the “Naval Academy Marching Band.” They play at many different functions around the U.S. and other countries. Play it to the end and watch the flyover.

I just wish they'd play more "marching songs" and fewer Broadway tunes.

I miss the thrill of a huge band marching by in perfect formation playing Sousa.
