    This is what we Brits were notoriously known for, marching in foreign land playing March of the British Grenadiers then stopping to ceremoniously play Thriller by Michael Jackson.

      Yea, German musiccorps do that aswell.
      In both England and Germany bandsmen traditionally aren't soldiers so they would never wear and rifle in any way but they still caried bayonets, while interestingly German drummers aren't part of the Musicial troops but the Infantry and they don't wear Bayonets.
