WOW! what an inspirational performance by these young men and women! Not only do they produce a great sound, but their drill, drumming and flourishing are all spot on. Congratulations Cadets, you should be proud of yourself.
So so impressive! I agree with that very very proud father's comment in the beginning... How could you not get goosebumps? Who would know they were cadets!?!? God love the UK!!
These young lads and lassies are a credit to the cadets and their instructor and should be at the main event at Edinburgh Tattoo! They're excellent musically and deportment, better than some others on the day.
Enjoy the occasional expressions of parental pride. Not too distracting from the music, but much appreciated in a world where many parents increasingly don't care.
Excellent! This shows the value of Tradition and honour! So sad to see so many (young) children these days hanging around, not knowing "what to do" with their lives and future.And not making anything of their lives... But these young Cadets : respect!
Cant stop watching this! There's a bit of a melancholy feeling the longer I watch this, and I can't seem to shake the thought of these brilliant young cadets, NOT just as excellent musicians but as future (and more than likely present, as I'm sure many of these teens were in their 16's, 17's, and 18's when the video was shot) soldiers in the royal armed forces. Each time I watch this, I see these young people less as musicians and ever more as soldiers fighting and dying overseas. I can't help but wonder are the three drum majors serving? Are they alive? Are all the pipers still unharmed? It's not like in the old days were the pipers were standing on a high mountain over the battlefield rallying the troops. Now their in the middle of the fighting, trading in their pipes and perfectly drilled marching for automatic weapons and armored vehicles. I pray that all of these young people, and all future cadets remain safe. God bless all those who serve, especially the sacrifices their families make.
Hi, I think you will find that the flag is the Union flag also known as the Union Jack. The flag combines three older national flags: the red cross of St George for England and Wales, the white saltire of St Andrew for Scotland (which two were united in the first Union Flag), and the red saltire of Saint Patrick's Flag to represent Ireland. I think this is why you will still see it flying above a British national monument. Hope this helps
+jack woods Hello there. it's called "The Drum Salute". (Scotland's version. not sure its the only one - but this particular is always played by almost every single pipes and drums bands. it was considered to play as military call, summon rally, and times you'll hear it play at events)
Hi , you are right it's a drum salute or sometimes called a drum fanfare, there are hundreds of different drum salutes made by many leading tips and many drum majors, usually every band has their own drum salute. I only say this as I am a snare drummer and have played in 5 different bands and they all had a drum salute that was different from the others. Hope this helps
In Canadian Cadets (which I'm part of) my corp has 3 pipers, and in order to have a drum corp, we combine with a sister corp, where they have 2 sides, and 2 tenors. That's an average size pipe band in cadets. In the summer long programme, there are 6 playing pipers. And that's a big number for pipers.
It's not part of company its battalion, all cadets come together for one big camps from across the uk and any cadets, ask you battalion commander he will advise you on what to do I never knew we had it but every battalion has them, the adults who are involved in pipes and drums are placed in the support branch of battalion, hope this helps
you can't begin to imagine how proud i am, my twin boy's are both in the band, one is a piper the other a drummer,"
i'm the proudest man in Scotland"

You CANNOT get a line-of-march better than that. Much praise to these fine men and women of the forces.
I wish this video were on CD/EP. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Love watching the Cadet Tattoo Pipes & Drums. Hope to see them someday live instead of via RUclips.

Don't forget these young guys are only cadets great job
Thank you from a extremely proud mum! unfortunately I inadvertently put my video on pause, so I'm so thrilled to see this !
Absolutely stunning. I watched all the way through, even though the abysmal camera work has given me a headache now. It was worth it...
Top performance indeed!!
I hate to admit this but, listening to pipes and drums always make me tear up. Don't even get me started on "Amazing Grace".
loved every minute of the performance, our future is in good hands , fantastic work by the tutors too
This beats kids sitting around saying they have nothing to do,take note brilliant
Outstanding!, what more needs to be said. Thank you.

A great selection of tunes. very professional.great 6/8s.
Sounds great can't wait till Easter for the camp at Gordon barracks again and hopefully I'll play in the band. Great work guys.
This just goes to show that Air Cadets and Army Cadets can work together to achieve a fantastic goal.
This is amazing well done to all involved.

Why are they not included in the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo they are better than some of the acts in the Tattoo
the reason they don't play in the tattoo is because they don't have no.1 kit.

Hi .. Just wondering if anyone knows what the "drums only part" is called? Thank you :)
+jack woods This particular one is called "Drummers Call" but we now play "Salute to the Fallen" which was written by one of the instructors.
Stars and Stripes

Hi! Real neat work. What tune is the bagpipe solo?
Great bagpipers

What are they playing?
when they come out they play the " Atholl Highlander", at the end when they march back they play "Scotland the brave"
László Megyesi Thanks
Spoiled by the chatter from the audience all the way through.
what does the leader say on 8:43
Hi,
This is the Lead Drum Major and he says - "Massed pipes and drums, by the centre quick march"
who was the head drum major
? Kayleigh Young
Why the hell is there an english flag flying over Edinburgh Castle!?!?!
Anyone know the name of the tune at 18:20
I believe it's called Itchy Fingers
Correct
As a current cadet we rather enjoy annoying RAF cadets about their kilt colour.
fucking hell scottish flag... ?????????????
