What can I say about the Royal Marines that I haven't said previously?!? We all know they're brilliant!! Some would even say Spiffing!!! These were the marches & Drum Solos played, 1) 0:04-McAlpine (Drum Solo) 2) 1:24-Eagle Squadron 3) 7:09-Illawalla (Drum Solo) 4) 8:06-Action Front! (Klar Zum Gefecht) 5) 11:36-Cosgrove's (Drum Solo) 6) 13:59-A Life on the Ocean Wave As always Special Thanks to MrB for bringing us Top quality videos of these events!
Excellent sound as usual from a Marine band but why is it that I find the Drum solos so utterly boring - I must be the only person that does so and it would be nice to see a marine band without hearing Life on the Ocean Wave - sacrilege I know - I think I prefer The Guards ,Cavalry and Rifles
@@clivehughes2179The Royal Marines always know how to put on a show! Well, I can't agree with Sir on the Drum Solos, but of course I respect Sirs opinion. As a Drummer I think the Drum Solos are phenomenal!!! And an integral part of the overall sound of the Royal Marines Band Service. I Personally think that if there's no Buglers leading with their Drum Solos, the Band shouldn't even go on Parade! But, to each their own! Take Care Clive! Best wishes to you and yours!
@@delvinrodriguez3341 I didn't mean to offend you and anyone else about drum solos - of course I know how skilful they are performed by highly talented drummers and they do look good - I feel much the same about the sound of bagpipes -not my favourite but as you say each to their own - my best wishes to you as well
@vickyRoyalHistory Point taken - of course I realize I have choices you mention - I was just making a personal observation so please do not insult my intelligence about technology - I would not do that to anyone
Interesting fact, at 3:44 you can see the drum major signaling to the band to play quieter because of a service taking place in the Guards' Chappel. You can also see him signaling to play normally at 6:04.
Well done spotting it! Last year they played through and played over the Band of the Coldstream Guards who were just finishing up their own Remembrance Sunday Parade. So that was a nice touch by the DM!
It's great having you back MrBaton74 you are the best at what you do and I love your marching band music videos,
Thank You ❤👍🇬🇧🏴🇨🇮🏴🏳️🌈
Beautiful march MrB! I would love to play that Euphonium. Listen that which is interwoven! I admire the arrangement so much. Thanks, MrB.
I admire your steady camera handling and high quality sound recording.

I noticed that. Thanks for pointing out the reason.

Great spot, that's why I like RUclips comments: people who know interesting information about what we watch.

How refreshing to have a sensitive bass drummer playing dynamics
Different bands all sound different, household cav dismounted band does the same. The foot guards bands always hammer the bass drum
@@matthewwhite5814keeping the marching troops in step! Pipe bands have the best bass
4:02 Just saw young Guardsman Frank! 😊😊😊
Nice stick control...
