    I am a Brit Para and we know that this is the finest military band in the world bar none. The turn out is always exceptional and the drill is superb and always great tunes but the drums, stirs the heart. By god there are days when its great to be a Brit.

      They have a high standard and not anybody gets into a band straight away, they have to qualify first after a number of years. They are the best and keep those standards high. Even the USMC band when marching with them as guest visitors, march a hell of a lot better and they even swing their arms higher........
