I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video, I think it’s fair to say it’s a favourite! The camera is in such a good location, and the subject matter glorious. Audibly it starts with the sound of marching boots but then at around 30 second mark you get to hear the steady ‘thtump thtump, thump thump, boom boom’ of approaching drums and the camera pans to the right as we hear a band approaching. This is not any old band, it’s the Massed Bands of the Household Division! At around the 50 second mark they come into view, playing ‘In Treue Fest’, The Drum Majors are in State Dress and the sound is fantastic ( especially if you’re playing full blast with headphones😎) On cue the 2 visible bands lay down their instruments but with a mighty drum roll the other 2 bands, still unseen, launches into the second march ‘General Mitchell’. The non playing musicians continue to stride forwards and as they move towards the camera the second 2 bands come into view, led by a further 2 Drum Majors. It truly is an amazing march and heralds the arrival of the bands in a magnificent way. The Senior Drum Major, Gareth Chambers, determinedly sets the pacing so that he brings the band to a halt at a perfect time in the music 3:26 . Absolutely fantastic. Thank you Mvv 1982👏🏻
