correct about the British Military Bands, they are in a class of their own, far superior to anything on the Planet. The RM corps of Drums are also the best in the world.
@kevmarin as british! i support everyone else in europe and beyond and i know they will support me. just a few wee numpties oot there. you know who you are...lol
In musical skills the RM band is certainly second to the Marineband of the Royal Dutch Navy. Just listen and it is obvious.. For example the video of the 2002 tattoo in Oslo, where the Dutch Marineband plays Royal Salute. To be found here on youtube. Just search for Marinierskapel Oslo..
