Great video! It's interesting to see the band plays quitter while the carriage procession ride by! The marches are Scarlet and Gold and The Red Shield.
Excellent video, Mart! By the way, I tend to believe that it wasn't the DM fault at 4:08 but that the traffic situation changed without warning (as it often does) and he had to improvise. Remarkable dressing by the band too.
If you look carefully at about 4.11 the drum major nearly makes a mistake and leads the band down the wrong turning! lol Realises at the last second. Don't think it would have made much difference, just a bit tight?!
custard24 On Instagram, that drum major has told my friend and I that there were new traffic lights installed there making the path smaller so they couldn't fit through and that he hasn't done this route in a while . He said that their rule was to follow the police and in this case the police went through the path that was too small. He said it's not big deal and these things happen from time to time.
Hi Mart, you have been busy..... I saw this from the other side of the road at the crossing with my I pad. and I walked down birdcage walk on the beating the retreat on Wednesday night... it was a little late starting...but well worth the wait, you have some really good videos of the ceremony.

The trio of the Red Shield March is beautiful in its simplicity. It starts at the 3:50 mark.
0:15 he signals the band to play lower and at 0:56 he signals them to play louder
