Love watching the Cadet Tattoo Pipes & Drums. Hope to see them someday live instead of via KZbin.

Spine tingly fabulous

This is one of my very favorite posts.

Hi! Real neat work. What tune is the bagpipe solo?

Thanks for the vid. What a shame they do not publish high quality recordings of these events.

Enjoy the occasional expressions of parental pride. Not too distracting from the music, but much appreciated in a world where many parents increasingly don't care.

Cant stop watching this! There's a bit of a melancholy feeling the longer I watch this, and I can't seem to shake the thought of these brilliant young cadets, NOT just as excellent musicians but as future (and more than likely present, as I'm sure many of these teens were in their 16's, 17's, and 18's when the video was shot) soldiers in the royal armed forces. Each time I watch this, I see these young people less as musicians and ever more as soldiers fighting and dying overseas. I can't help but wonder are the three drum majors serving? Are they alive? Are all the pipers still unharmed? It's not like in the old days were the pipers were standing on a high mountain over the battlefield rallying the troops. Now their in the middle of the fighting, trading in their pipes and perfectly drilled marching for automatic weapons and armored vehicles. I pray that all of these young people, and all future cadets remain safe. God bless all those who serve, especially the sacrifices their families make.

So so impressive! I agree with that very very proud father's comment in the beginning... How could you not get goosebumps? Who would know they were cadets!?!? God love the UK!!

I'm from USA and wow. awesome. Kids did a fine job!!

Just found this amazing...

very good and fun muzic I am very, very Glad!

Anyone know the name of the tune at 18:20

Great bagpipers

Absolutely stunning. I watched all the way through, even though the abysmal camera work has given me a headache now. It was worth it...

Excellent! This shows the value of Tradition and honour! So sad to see so many (young) children these days hanging around, not knowing "what to do" with their lives and future.And not making anything of their lives... But these young Cadets : respect!

These young lads and lassies are a credit to the cadets and their instructor and should be at the main event at Edinburgh Tattoo! They're excellent musically and deportment, better than some others on the day.

Don't forget these young guys are only cadets great job

Stars and Stripes

Spoiled by the chatter from the audience all the way through.

Class.

loved every minute of the performance, our future is in good hands , fantastic work by the tutors too

+jack woods Hello there. it's called "The Drum Salute". (Scotland's version. not sure its the only one - but this particular is always played by almost every single pipes and drums bands. it was considered to play as military call, summon rally, and times you'll hear it play at events)

I hate to admit this but, listening to pipes and drums always make me tear up. Don't even get me started on "Amazing Grace".

Outstanding!, what more needs to be said. Thank you.

This is brawesome.

fucking hell scottish flag... ?????????????

I wish this video were on CD/EP. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

This beats kids sitting around saying they have nothing to do,take note brilliant

Jack I think its called the Drummers Call

Hi .. Just wondering if anyone knows what the "drums only part" is called? Thank you :)

Why are they not included in the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo they are better than some of the acts in the Tattoo

Wish our company was like this we dont even have any drummers pipers infact we have fuck all

A great selection of tunes. very professional.great 6/8s.

Top performance indeed!!

What are they playing?

WOW! what an inspirational performance by these young men and women! Not only do they produce a great sound, but their drill, drumming and flourishing are all spot on. Congratulations Cadets, you should be proud of yourself.

what does the leader say on 8:43

Hi, I think you will find that the flag is the Union flag also known as the Union Jack. The flag combines three older national flags: the red cross of St George for England and Wales, the white saltire of St Andrew for Scotland (which two were united in the first Union Flag), and the red saltire of Saint Patrick's Flag to represent Ireland. I think this is why you will still see it flying above a British national monument. Hope this helps

Why the hell is there an english flag flying over Edinburgh Castle!?!?!

You CANNOT get a line-of-march better than that. Much praise to these fine men and women of the forces.

who was the head drum major

This is amazing well done to all involved.

As a current cadet we rather enjoy annoying RAF cadets about their kilt colour.

Sounds great can't wait till Easter for the camp at Gordon barracks again and hopefully I'll play in the band. Great work guys.

Sorry about the mobile phone quality but just look at all the people! Two cadets also had the honour of lowering the flag at sunset from on top of the castle while 3 played the bugles from the roof. Stunning...!

This just goes to show that Air Cadets and Army Cadets can work together to achieve a fantastic goal.

Im miss the band so much

oh thanks

The Blue kilt is worn by the Air Training Corps and the Red is worn by members of the Army Cadet Force. Hope this helps
