British grenadiers & Kenya's Defense Forces trooping the colors with 'Grenadier Return Slow March"

trooping of the colors Years 2015 and 2022 respectively.
Kenya 🇰🇪 is one of three African countries that still practises the traditional British ceremony of Trooping the Colour.
This takes place every 12 December on Jamhuri Day (the day when Kenya became an independent nation and later a republic), but unlike the British one all the three services of the Kenya Defence Forces takes part in the Trooping the colour. The service branch whose battalion is trooping the colour provides number one and number two guards.
The ceremony normally begins at 11:30 after the arrival of the President of Kenya, who takes the national salute as the national anthem and the anthem of the East African Community are played by the massed bands. After finishing his inspection of the parade, the bands play a slow march followed with a quick march, during which the lone drummer then breaks away to take his position beside number one guard to play the drummers call, signalling the officers of No.1 Guard to take positions to receive the colour and the Guard's RSM removing his pace stick and then unsheathing his sword. The escort for the colour then marches off to collect the colour as the massed KDF band play either The British Grenadiers or a locally composed march, after which the escort halts in position. After the hand over and as the Escort presents arms the first verse of the Kenya national anthem is played, then the escort to the colour marches off in a slow march to the tune of The Grenadiers' Slow March. The first tune normally played during the march in slow time is always 'By land and sea'.

There are important bits the Kenyan trooping the colour has omitted from the British one. For example there are no horses, the the lone drummer does not leave the band after the troop to make the drummer's call, there is no spin wheel manouver when the escort to the colour is command is called and a few others.

Trooping the colour at home

[@carlousmagus5387]

They got the slow march down. They need to do some re tuning. Whoever is on the drums is on point.

Since there are never more than six companies of the Guards at the Trooping the Colour any more, would not be an idea to invite two companies from the Armed Forces of two Commonwealth Countries each year, to join the Household Division on Horseguards Parade and participating in the Trooping and 'strut their stuff', accordingly? Invitation to be a personal one from HM King Charles III, from recommendations made by the Foreign Office, to ensure that no diplomatic faux pas are made? If necessary, an additional Trooping performance before HMK could be added each year to accommodate the idea. After all, Commonwealth countries - and even France, too - have already participated in the Changing the Guard ceremony, so why not recognise the armed forces of the Commonwealth by inviting them to participate in the Trooping the Colour, in some way? And to salute them for their friendship ... ? Just an idea ....

Kenyan band is making noise.

[@JospherOkoth]

You are tone deaf sorry

[@ericmwenda6197]

True. If one keenly listens to the two bands of the Grenadiers Slow match, the British Army band sounds more original and flowing smoothly. KDF band though trying, is alitte bit noisy with some brass instruments off key.

The whole thing is British. Of course the Kenyan one is going to sound different. It's like the British trying to sing one of our war cries.
