To still see this through the streets of London is wonderful. All the turmoil of this world tradition always shines through. I’m so proud to be British and they still protect our Queen every day. Brilliant. !
Very interesting and entertaining, the music, the marching, there is nothing compares with guards bands , their training ensures they’re the best of the best
massed bands of the household division are the best, takes me back to 1982 when i did my first troop. a lot of hard work but it was fantastic to be part of it. i was in number 6 guard on the day.
@@memphis6420 I didn’t realize that a snippet on OSU MP had found its way into a thread on trooping the Colour. Although the two musical organizations, coming at the pinnacle of two worlds, represent the very best of college and military bands.

Oh, this is just great! Not the proper dress uniforms, a bit ad hoc, one or two interesting closeups, and even at odd moments just a tiny bit ramshackle. But fine, fine music and so perfectly authentic, and no wonder the ad hoc audience for their performance applauded. It's just the absolute real deal, and there's nothing better...
Perhaps the participants were busy preparing and keeping the dress uniforms immaculate for the main parades and D Day celebrations, hence the ad hoc working uniforms for rehearsals.
Coldstreamer17 Really, I didn’t know that? Interesting. I just assumed they were moved into the household division from another army band around the country? And found themselves in London. Good though. It’s not really a criticism. I know I’d still be doing it if I were them anyway.
Coldstreamer19 Not quite, most of the musicians have studied music before joining the army. Some of the musicians have saw active combat, but that is restricted to a very few amount of senior NCOs and some senior officers in the bands.
What's the score with Guards officers now? I've seen a Coldstream Officer leading a company of Micks on Paddies Day, and now a Mick officer leading a guard of Grenadiers into Welly Bks.
Or the command "Officer On Parade, Fall Out" can be used and the soldiers on parade will do the same, a turn to the right, a salute to the front, and fall out.
Until today I had forgotten all about the "Fall out".... I could still drill today and have to stop myself "bracing up" when I hear the command "parade"!

I was impressed that the horse leading was in step with the drum beat.
lovely police horse Oonah

The first tune reminds me of a hymn we sang in primary school. God bless
I think its I'm in the Lord's army
The Old Gray Mare is its name if I remember right.
Thanks for posting this, i will be there on the day as my wife has got me tickets for my birthday. Can;t wait.
The march that starts at the 40 second mark has a very nice trio.

Even in rehearsals there is nothing smarter than a British Soldier.
Good bass section, speed of dismissal speaks volumes.
British and proud
Nice recording mate, thanks 👍🏻
(Noticed a lot of old guys in the Coldstream band and in general)?! 😳
custard24 Good retention in the band
Tristram Randall
Yeah. I used to know a few of them. A lot have moved on now I think? Wish I’d had chosen that musical path.
custard24 most of them join the band after serving with the battalion

How/where do you get a time schedule for these things?

For Friday it says "Trooping the Colour Rehearsal
The Queen's Guard Mounts from Horse Guards Parade"
Poor Damian has to teach the newbies XD

Toffee ITs called an empty barrel .
It's some sort of tradition that there is a Coldstream Guards officer in the Irish Guards.
@@wu_1116 Rubbish indeed .
What is the song at 0:38?

Trafalgar March - by Wilhelm Zehle
Great videos
The first trooping the colour without Dmaj. Steve state
Surely that would've been the first trooping the colour?
whats the first march?
The Old Gray Mare
Typical at 3:26 The Officer not getting his arm SHOULDER HIGH....”...Get it together..Sir...!”
Some things never change eh?
Why did the bandmaster ask the bandsmen to salute to their right at the end?
When a parade fall outs with an Officer who can receive a salute they turn to the right, salute the officer and then fallout.
Or the command "Officer On Parade, Fall Out" can be used and the soldiers on parade will do the same, a turn to the right, a salute to the front, and fall out.
Until today I had forgotten all about the "Fall out".... I could still drill today and have to stop myself "bracing up" when I hear the command "parade"!
Are those the RMs at the second formation far side (from the camera).
No, they are the Corps of Drums of the 1st battalion Grenadier Guards and the COD of the 1st Bn Welsh guards behind them
Gasp!
Why o why do we have to have the police in front of the parade
Why o why do we need a policewoman on a horse at the front of the band leading the ARMY
0:06 Senior Drum Major WO2 Damian P. Thomas, Grenadier Guards
Semaj Bronson how do you know the drum majors?
1.24 It's the march ''Canadian Overseas '' Very nice Parade ***
43mrssimba nope that’s trafalgar
@@Coldstreamer17 Oh....Merci!
The officer at 3:26 looks nervous
Drum Sergeant Mole how he’s holding his sword XD
Get that policewoman out of the way what could she do anyway
Trooping the Colour? Sorry, I'm not British.
