Hello from Australia - Very enjoyable listening to good military band music, great to hear Hearts of Oak, but missed the National Anthem. Thank you all the same

Exceptional performance. Question for any bands man out there, why are there two different styles of trousers worn by the bandsman, a thick red line and a thinner one?
@TVStixАй бұрын
The Corps of Drums wear a thin stripe because they were historically part of the infantry whereas the bands were separate and employed as musicians first and foremost.

A stately fitting end. The soft quiet light and the Royal Marines filmed against the old Admiralty building.

How extraordinary is the Slow March when the musicians play to a quicker time. Remarkable are'nt they.

The only songs i know from this video: The drum solo (sort of) at the start is British grenadiers, followed by 'HMS Belfast' by D page, first featured in MFM 2023-0:59, followed by National asset, also first featured in MFM 2023-4:20. Not sure about the next song

@@ginkiat7268 Intro from 13:11 leads into "May it Be" by Enya. The first gaelic phrase sung, Mornië utúlië., means "Darkness has come" and the second gaelic phrase sung, Mornië alantië, means "Darkness has fallen" in the chorus. I'd love to know who was singing it here - lovely performance. 17:23 is the Jupiter movement from Holst's "The Planets" and then around 20:00 into "I Vow to Thee My Country" which uses a variation of "Jupiter's Movement", with the words written in a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice. 25:30 is "A Life on the Ocean Wave"

Why were they playing the South African anthem all the time,?
@adrianchurch5542Ай бұрын
Sarie Marais was the National Anthem of South Africa years ago. It was adopted by the Royal Marines as the March Past of the Royal Marines Commandos (which all Royal Marines are anyway) in deference to the Boers who were the original Commandos during the Boer War fought against the British between 1899 and1902.

Really? Such a comment in this day and age? I joined up in 1953 and there were plenty of women in the armed forces, all doing a superb job, as they do today. Nothing silly about them.

@michaelriordan8265. Most of the troopers in the Kings Own Troop Royal Artillery are ladies. Both the Lifeguards and Blues & Royals have Lady troopers. Most male troopers consult the Ladies if they have a problem with horses. Please do some research before making sweeping statements. Even if it's your personal thoughts.
