Fine job by the band. Should they have stopped playing when the drum major realized the Band of the Coldstream Guards was playing on the opposite side of the fence in front of an gentlemen on a reviewing stand? Also - At the 15:35 mark one sees that the band is well ahead of the marching group behind it. I think it would have been appropriate for the band to stop and play in place until that group drew closer.
That was because the marching troops were trying to stay near to the royal marines association and the marching band were doing normal paces, it was very annoying
