 90% Advertizement, 10%MarinesMay 29, 2007
By Bryan K. Shiflett
I recommend the VHS version. I jumped at the opportunity to have the silent drill team on DVD. Unfortunately, the DVD recording has the same quality as a VHS tape as well as pour sound. The aftermath is a prolonged ad. I was in the Marines and this DVD recording lacks attention to detail, except for the Marines in it. It has three minute references to becoming better target shooters for competition shooters, to make the sale ads. I felt I lost an hour of my life watching the advertizement on this DVD, then I took it outside and shot it!!!

disappointing amaturish film of a great teamSep 14, 2007
By commonman

Very disappointing DVD of a magnificent team. Shot outside in San Diego from somewhere in the upper stands, the camera work is choppy and the sound awful. The constant noise of aircraft leaving/arriving at the civilian airport is almost as annoying as the audience clapping. The team deserves applause - but at the right time, not canstantly throughout the drill. Sorry I spent my money on this; wish there was a film of the team done professionaly in a quieter local. I saw the team on a TV show years (and Years) ago; done on a TV stage, and yeah, maybe the local was not as historic as San Diego, but with multiple cameras and great editing, wow - what a memory. My advice, though I appreciate that the producers tried to share a great example of the Marines with us, is don't waste your money.

YouTube is better!!Mar 13, 2010
By H. Heal
I gave it one STAR just to get this published otherwise it would get Zip. Very disappointed to get a DVD that was shot with a home recorder. The disc started with a few minutes of film obviously taken off a TV screen, very fuzzy and washed out. My heart sank when I remembered what I paid for this junk. Then the image improved for the taping of the Color Guard and the Silent Drill Team performances. Not too bad with some close and wide angle shots. The cameraman didn't always zoom in on what I wanted to see but it did break up the shooting.
The whole scene is a concrete or blacktop drill field with stadium bleachers, don't expect to see a beautiful and historic background like Arlington or DC.
I'm not kidding, what I found on YouTube was mostly better. TOO EXPENSIVE!!U.S. Marine Corps Battle Color Ceremony Featuring The Silent Drill Team DVD
Don't buy it if you don't want to be ripped off.Jul 05, 2011
By Christina Cheah
Think twice before you buy this DVD. It shows only the drill team performing at their Barrack area for those regular tourists. Nothing spectacular. Just like they are practicing or what. The video and audio quality are worse than an old video tape. The DVD contains quite a lot of advertisements to sustain the 45 minutes claimed duration. I feel nothing but being ripped off.
