Wonderfull! Never get tired of listening to them, swift and bold!
After 30 + years I just found myself closing my eyes and dreaming of Winchester barracks as tears roll down my cheeks.....I am getting to old and sentimental.
Tks for your service Sir.
Nothing wrong with that it shows you care.
Don't worry about that. The same happens to me, with a lifetime interest in military bands
Found almost 2 years after the event but very enjoyable. Thank you
Even now it still sends that shiver up your spine CeA
Love these guys and gals! Thanks for posting👍👍👍👍
That was the coolest rendition of Sharpe's theme
While it is used as the theme for Sharpe (and no doubt made the song popular), the tune of it is from the late 16th century and as a military song, dates back to 1706, before you people in the isles united into being the UK.
@@lembitmoislane. I meant the whole, I guess "medley", of the single verse of "Over the Hills and Far Away" and the part right after it where the music transitions from the old tune to a contemporary tune with drum kits and electric guitar, which is Sharpe's opening theme. This combination plays at the end of every Sharpe's episode. Typically accompanied with a scene of the protagonist and the gang walking away from us, Sharpe stopping and looking back at us for a second, and then resume walking.

Amazing, I still remain the only outsider to train the light division buglers. Mac was my best mate and went on to be Bugle major of he green jackets. I am humbled. I was Irish Rangers by the way. parent regiment the ulster rifles
Played "Georgia" in The Boys' Brigade Bugle bands. Yes, we used to speed up the pace when bugles played. Morris dancers and Girl guides could not catch us up.
We still stand for "Dixie"!
Lol I was gonna say did I imagine dixie or is there just a british march I don't know about that dixie ripped off
Maybe someone did not get the message across the sea. The Confederate States of America no longer exist and the USA is a strong ally. Do not poke the bear
looks like a few Canadians in there from the Queen's Own Rifles and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.
Always impressed by the Quirinus Band & Bugle Corps: you can't tell the difference performance wise between them and the Rifles Band and Bugles
Oh yes!
top effort

Dressing is not so good while marching. Nice to see that the UK does not discriminate based on age. Some silver hair beauties out in the band there
What the average civvy doesn't realise is that the light marches much faster than the normal regtl quick march, the put the green jackets at their Double March for a few hundred metres or Mile, then try blowing a bugle or wind instrument. The only ones ove seen to match it is an Italian light infantry battalion, or Ghurkas
Wonderful display boys/gals. Love those bugles and they are very hard to play (for those who don't know).
Might be my imagination but the pace seems to vary! Speeds up with some of the bugle marches. I know the official pace is 140 but does seem to creep up at times..
@@johnsabini2330 140 is for standard infantry not the rifle brigade
@@adamqmarcinko3880 Hello 120 is The All Arms Drill pace, 140 was rifle regiments and light infantry. I was in 3rd Green Jackets & 3RGJ and confirm 140 was the regimental pace, this has now been carried over to The Rifles. C et A.
@@adamqmarcinko3880 7 years in 3rd Green Jackets & 3RGJ definitely 140 was the regimental pace.
Marching in fast past 💂🇬🇧
Yes, this is the tradition of UK Rifle regiments
First in last out swift and bold 👍

Is there a historical connection why they played Dixie ?
They also played part of Marching through Georgia so it may have just been that they chose them as a good little civil war medley, but I was kind of wondering the same thing. Maybe it's just that those songs had good arrangements for Buglers, the Americans were rather fond of the Bugle from that period on.
the march of the south is just as misplaced as Alexis Zorba's for the light infantry - maybe something saxon should be considered
If you mean Dixie, I think it was very often performed at light infantry tempos in the US and had bugle parts already so it's just a fun piece of music. It's a marching song that was very much associated with the US Army as much as the Confederacy (Obviously it was a Confederate song to a degree but it was written before the civil war and remained popular afterwards) up until pretty recently when everyone started getting offended about everything. I'm glad they played it, it's a great bit of music.
To much red on show, prefer the Black & Green.
Best colours ever seen swift and bold 👍
A shame there’s so,many empty seats
Quis separabit.
To me they separated themselves nicely whilst marching around
