Thank you for the comment! It’s been a delight filming them and getting to watch them live even if it did rain heavily for the 3 days during the parade!
Great video Joe. A pleasure showing you our museum yesterday. We actually have three more military bands. One more in the Army called "Slesvigske Musikkorps" and one in the Air Force called "Prinsens Musikkorps". Both of these are like the band of the Royal Life Guards professional musicians. The Navy has "Søværnets Tambourkorps" which consists of regular soldiers.
Our three other military bands have pure brassinstrumentation and percussion - so-called 'field bands'. It is a tradition that dates back to around 1850. Not to be confused with the British style brassbands. The instrumentation and style of playing is completely different. Two of them consist of professional permanent employed musicians. The musicians in the Navy Band are in fact not regular soldiers. They are professional musicians, but employed on a contract - i.e. not permanent employees.
@@mgaws wrong. there are several amateur players in the navy band, some of them are from the academy but still. there are people from the amateur bands that are employed there.
A great video. I love this videos. It is interesting and fascinating to see this. I have seen a lot of videos from changing the guards at Buckingham Palace and Troping the colour. Greetings from Diö in Sweden.
Thank you, it has been an interesting weekend spent with them, learning about their heritages and traditions to hopefully make them more accessible in English through my page and spread awareness of what they do!
The Thunder’s Tail. Sadly I have been unsuccessful in finding any other recordings of this march but was reliably informed by the band that this was the march they played at my time of visit.
The person in orange in civilian clothes was standing at attention saluting the parade, the officer returns it with a salute. Usually it is current or no longer serving members of the regiment of any rank.
The Drum Major and officers are very observant for civilians 'greeting' the parade (standing at attention and with a slight bow). They will usually get a salute from the parade.
once i was in uniform when the pade passed. We had been instucted to front the parade and salute. I did, and the officer leading the guard detail lowered his sabre. I was so proud!!
