Jeg har et spørgsmål til gardens musik-repetoire. I årene omkring 1968 var jeg kontorelev i et firma på Sankt Annæ plads, og åbnede altid et vindue, når garden spillede. De spillede dengang bl.a. Sanct Louis Blues, og jeg mener også at huske Congratulations og noget Beatles. Hvorfor spiller de ikke længere det?
@@michaeldispirito that's him. What a character Indeed. Was a great guy. I think people that that and Spook who I met recently in Winchester, really help me move from a part timer to regs

Good to see that back in the old days the height requirement, SLR and smart drill all went to make a grand impression. These days a short guardsman (or woman, in the band) next to a tall one looks ridiculous. They're like children playing soldiers. The SA80 looks poor for ceremonial drill and the standard of drill has definitely fallen. No depot. Lower standards. I make no comment about their fighting ability because I don't know enough about it.
16:34 Saluting was Prince George Valdemar of Denmark (1920-1986), cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth II, the late Prince Philip, and Queen Margrethe II
I’ve taken three points away from these comments; 1. That people actually think the SLR was anything better than a clapped out lump of pig iron. I’ve carried it, it was hateful crap. 2. That the BAOR consumers of yellow handbags seem to think that marching around in Victorian working dress to a given standard in 1982 makes you a better soldier than blokes (and women) who actually soldiered rather than excelling at synchronised walking. 3. The Guards Depot; I had the misfortune to visit it once. The first two people I saw were an officer on a horse and a Lance Sergeant taking his pace stick for a walk. That epitomised the Household Division for me. The Guards Depot did not produce better soldiers than ITC, it was a nest of petty bullshit that spent more time on the square than the ranges. It fetishised mindless nugatory tasks in the mistaken belief that the rest of the army were in awe of them. Spoiler; we weren’t. So in summary, the Cold War warriors who had sports afternoons and Friday stand downs at midday, who were functioning alcoholics who did an NI tour once in a while (been there, done that several times) are not qualified to chop off about soldiers who spent from 1990 to 2015 on ops of one form or another (also done that). They were too busy soldiering to worry about dressing and sizing off, or anything else that old men in stained regimental blazers think.
As C.S.M. of that parade. I also was an instructor at Sandhurst and did 3 years instructing at Brecon Senior Division as a Colour Sergeant, amongst many other dramas in South Arabia and Africa. It ain't my fault that the Army is crap today.
Never saw this before. Its great love it. Used to collect early records. Had cricus galop, high-school cadets and the sunshine of paradise all recorded ca 1895/96 and stars and stripes in 1897. Cylinders.
Cornets are rounder in tone whereas trumpets are sharper. Cornets are conical but trumpets are cylindrical. Think of it this way the transition between the mouthpiece and the bell in cornets is slower than the trumpets which have a faster transition between the mouthpiece and the bell. If you’re familiar with electronics, visualize the air passages as antennas construction and the reflected power i.e. VSWR.this is how I visualize this and others may use the term of Overtones.❤
