    The Royal Marines Bands are the showpieces of the Royal Navy, and they are part of it. They show us that the Senior Service is second to none. Wonderful performers, and they always look so good on the march. The traditional wearing of the side drums , that is, on the side, make those that wear them around their neck look a bit wimpy.
    Best service bands ever.

      @@heywoodjerbloume In the book "A Life On The Ocean Wave" by John Trendell. It tells of the positions in the ship that the Bandsmen went to. A very interesting book, if you love the Royal Marines Bands. On page 55 it tells of the bandsmen in the transmitting room, under control of the Gunnery Officer, and they were resposible for the accuracy of the ships guns, with instruments under a glass topped table. And page 42, 43, tells of a bandsman in the First World War being locked in the voice pipe room, unable to get out if anything happened. After stand down, he was forgotten and remained locked in. While nothing is mentioned about the gun turrets, i guess it is possible that if needed, they could be assigned a position in an ememrgency. Get the book Craven, you will enjoy it.

    I'm no "muso," but the thing I like the best about the Royal Marine Band is their willingness to try new material. I never would have imagined that "Sailing" would work for a precision band. Not only have they made it work, but it takes on more meaning and they really make it shine. Even more so with "Invincible" performed here. I would have thought an orchestra would be needed. The RM Band was simply masterful. Congratulations and all respect to Lt Col Nick Grace, OBE and all the lads.

    4:57 that suspense, and then the bass drummers' hands moved so fucking fast. I know compared to DCI that bass drummer wasn't too fast, but still it was cool.

      Are they not, professional musicians as opposed to being actual military personnel?

      Hi. Yes I do know that the RM band personnel are active in a military sense. My query was in response to 'Kermit's' comment about the Marine band of the Royal Dutch Navy. I read somewhere that the Dutch Marine Band is made up of professional musicians, however, I cannot confirm that! I was hoping for Kermit or someone else to clarify it. Anyway, thank you for your input. Kindest regards, Bill.
