Good evening to you! Thanks for posting this very beautiful video I'm watching for the first time. They all have done a great job, fantastic, but i must say that it's due to the extraordinary SDM Gareth Chambers, to the high professionalism of his role, the best and incomparable leader, no doubt UNIQUE!! Thanks also for the long detailed and interesting historical description about the event.
@vickyRoyalHistory hi Vicky 👋🏻, nice to hear from you and sorry we’ve been a bit like ships that pass in the night. I’ve been a bit distracted of late by possible scary issues that I’m now happy to say have been resolved! So I’ve missed quite a bit ! However I’m now trying to keep up with the rehearsals for the forthcoming Trooping and am so looking forward to being there on the 1st. Isn’t this new march just fabulous!! From some of the videos of these practices and rehearsals I think (last line should be underlined😉)that the DMs will be GC (the 🌟), SF, Johnston, Laing and your pal Potts(?) Have you seen the video posted by Ammo Boots & Hooves titled “The Irish Guards Pipes and Drums practice for the Kings Birthday Parade in June 2024” ? Our 🌟 DM puts them through their paces and it’s evident that he’s very proficient as time beater too! You’ve said before that he prepares diligently for these events and knows the music pretty much back to front. I think the video backs you up on that! He’s whacking that drum in time to the music he can hear in his head! Pretty impressive performance! I hope you get to read and perchance reply, even if briefly (you? Brief?😉) before you go on your travels. (& hope you have great time🥳)
@vickyRoyalHistory hi Vicky, sorry again for the delay getting back to you. Your task sounds impressive but I have no doubt you’ll rise to the challenge and shine (& give your audience some intended giggles. Oh to be a fly on the wall even though quite a lot would probably sail over my head🤪) I still reckon the DMs will be be starman Chambers🌟, Fitzgerald, Laing, Johnstone and your pal Potts, maybe we should take bets🤭 You are of course correct, in my opinion, in your assessment of our 🌟 Chambers. He is meticulous in his preparation, and I get the impression his role is of great importance to him, a vocation, not just a job. (& nobody does it better😌)I really hope you watch the video I mentioned in my earlier message, I think you’d enjoy it😎 Let me know what you think. I’m so looking forward to Saturday, rain or shine (although a nice dull but dry day would be preferable) Have no doubt I shall be flying the flag for the fan club🥳
Lovely March performed by The Massed bands Pipes and Drums and Corps of Drums led the Senior Drum Major Gareth Chambers MVO Irish Guards this March will feature in the Music for the Trooping The Colour 2024 I hope to buy a copy of the Programme for this Years event and in July There will be two Beating Retreats on Horse Guards Parade the one I am looking Forward to is the Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines and I hope to get a Programme for this as there will not be A Cd or DVD for this event which is sad in a way The MoD Have to stop cutting back all Recordings as they are preventing the Public enjoyment of events like this
Hahaha, well spotted! I think you'll be interested in knowing that the Drummer who had to duck down for the wild trombone was our Friend LSgt M. Lee! Who's on Snare Drum and not on Cymbals surprisingly.
This whole march is a new march produced for this years trooping the colour. The name is The Ballyragget. If you watch this years trooping the colour on BBC Iplayer there is a full description of why its called it. Something to do with the 80th aniversary of the D-Day landings.

Rather a privilege to see and listen to this super march which, I think, has been composed for this year’s Trooping the Colour. Thank you for sharing👍

Thanks for sharing. Saw someone having to duck from a trombone swinging around
