I like the idea that the RAF Bands seem to be the only ones to give two x 3-beat rolls and then a further 5-beat roll to allow time for the musicians to change their music sheets before playing the introduction of the next march. Thanks to "Military Events" in filming this superb display by the RAF Band.
The band and the rhythm is very moving in both a physical and a spiritual emotional manner. I would say that the British Marching is the most natural march pace there is, when considering all the militaries . Congratulations all for such a pleasant atmosphere.
That is Jeanette Scott, the first female Drum Major from any regiment to lead the band at Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. And yes, I've always considered her 'armography' outstanding.
Thankyou for this great video and music. My dad, F/O Robert B. Wilson, served with RCAF & RAF WWII, and I am sure he is enjoying this. Regards from London, Ontario, Canada.
British band playing National Emblem and doing Mr Bagley proud. And anyone else notice how the copper at the lead stepped off on time and in step? Ex military maybe?
RAF bands--and RAF units in general, with the Navy--are the sharpest looking in all of the UK military establishment, even when compared to the RM. They are dignified and refined, without any of the "toy soldier" look of virtually all the rest
Is there anything in the UK run without a marching band ? Maybe the submarines in the Navy ... They are long gone, submerged, while their band is playing on in port.
Mr.Ben as you don't know redcoat black bear head dress name. That is bands of the Guard Division. There is 5 regiment wear them. Blue and Grey band doesn't wear them because they follow RIP QUEEN ELIZ,Now her Son King Charles in big parades you show watch trooping the colours in June
Yes, noise cancelling ear filters, individually fitted for each member as provided by the relevant Service. I was first issued mine about 15 years ago. All the best, Ian
@@mikebowden7376 I was Bugles, Pipes and Drums working with the Regimental Band. We were issued them but truthfully we never wore them. This was around 2008. The original issue ones weren’t good enough but we were told to wear them whilst waiting for the fitted ones. However with Iraq/Afghanistan there was no money so we waited about four years for those ones. They were supposed to be worn at all times when rehearsing and during Parades etc. We wore them sometimes during rehearsals or practice but outdoors seemed a bit of overkill and definitely not on Parades. There was comeback from the Chain of Command and so it was sort of left at that. I retired in 2016 and I wouldn’t be sure of Army official policies now but the Musicians all appear to wear them. I di know that for HM the Queen’s funeral and the Coronation of King Charles that a click track was used within the bands. I imagine it was only certain members with that though. I am suffering from tinnitus now and functional hearing loss and wish I had paid more attention to hearing protection! Ian
To my critical audiophile ears, I find the RAF bands to be more precise - more in tune (and together). I've heard some of the other bands that have the redcoats and black head dress, and they do not sound as good as the RAF ones.
When my dad played in this band in the 60's before moving to Australia and playing in the RAAF here. He told me the Central band of that time was commonly regarded as the best military in the world. He played fench horn.
Great video!
The marches played were,
1) 0:28-National Emblem
2) 3:41-Washington Grays
3) 7:05-Holyrood

Some of my fave marches all together in one video! Washington Greys is a corker.
A delight to behold. Thanks for posting
Love to see Flt Sgt Jeanette Scott Drum Major in the lead. She just plain impresses me with her precision and bearing. Well done Sgt!
"The National Emblem" an American March being played! ❤
As fine as the National Emblem March has ever sounded. Well Done!
Very nice from across the pond🇨🇦
Great marches, great music, great drill, with perfection from the RAF Drum Major.
She is exceptional.
I must say she does have some seriously good swagger on her!

Isn't she cool?!
Thank God for the RAF Regiment - great stuff lads.

The Kings Colour Squadron Drill is spot on ! 7:00
Thanks! Brilliant work, like always! I have been missing your videos!
Love a military band. They always seem to enjoy what they are doing, as they march along.

Can’t beat an Air Force, no matter where. Aim high brothers across the pond,-your fellow brothers in arms, America.
That was our Regimental March of The 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Wales. Made us all six feet tall when that was played.
The police officer pulling that kid by bag though 😅
Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏
Thought they sounded so good 👍 ❤ thanks brilliant video.
Good to see that you show the players at the rear of band not like some❤
Mooie uitvoering van dit klassieke stuk en wat een conditie hebben al die Engelse bands
Amazing Tommy s much respect
Wonderful performance.🙌✊🏻
Great video again
This is the Central Band, not the Regiment.

Are the bandsmen wearing earbuds or the like.
Yes, noise cancelling ear filters, individually fitted for each member as provided by the relevant Service.

Thanks, Ian, I had not noticed other bandsmen wearing them, I must pay more attention, are all the services offering those to their bands?

Brilliant sound but just one thing I’ve never seen so many beards in a band………
Is the marching band acceptable to the Muslim culture of the UK as they appear to now be in control ?
They can get stuffed.
As soon as i saw it was a female in charge impersonating a man, i lost interest again. LoL. Robert. Infantry Veteran. NZ.
On the contrary, she is a very good Drum Major and appears on many such videos. Get used to it!
Tinny sounding and atypical RAF shower
Totally agree.
