Guards Massed Bands March To Beating Retreat 2016

Guards massed bands March to beating retreat 2016

[@mig25pd]

I am retired now but I used to work in the centre of London - when a Guards Band passed it made me very proud to be British. And if I was walking along the street I could not help but fall into step.........I did not spend very long on a parade ground (when I was quite young) but it all comes back to you very quickly.

[@adrianmillar6069]

M Morgan. I remember being told as a young recruit that us civvies would soon be turned into soldiers. 'You'll realise it when amongst those civvies you're the only ones in step'!! It was true lol.

[@scottnyc6572]

The opening march sounded incredible!! The pauses between sections then the dramatic buildup,very ear grabbing!!

[@youtubeaccount5738]

March is “Washington Greys.”

[@gb1510]

Absolutely Love this, thank you very much for taking the time to video this and to share it, it really does make you proud to be British, no country does it better. Being ex military I could sit and listen to this all day long, thank you again.

[@stewartsnape1231]

Nothing more than a guards band to stir the excitement and happiness in you. So many different marches and very pleasant

[@tongatukumoeatu9257]

amazing sound. great blend I can hear all the parts clearly. not easy to do when you're outside and with a large band. great job

[@joyceoxfeld1352]

I heard the unison step when the brief pause in music occurred . Wow!

[@eddiecarr8654]

brilliant tune to March to,you can tell by the step and straightness of the bands, great to listen To!

[@brianfisher6089]

I was in Horse Guards for Beating Retreat, which was great, but your recording captures a bit more of the ceremonial. Thanks

[@martinknoblauch4192]

Washington Grays by C.S Grafulla was composed for a the band of 8th Regiment of the New York Militia from the Bronx in 1861. It was very popular with high school bands 50 years ago ( we used to play it from memory). In recent decades it has been played by the US Marine Band at Presidential Inaugurations just before the entrance of the new president and vice president to the platform. Listen for it next January.

[@adrianmillar6069]

Martin Knoblauch the best ever though?

[@martinknoblauch4192]

Yes love this performance even the Marine Band plays it to fast for me. We used to march to it at this tempo

The march "Washington Grays" sure sounded good with the massed bands. It definitely is a large band composition.

[@k0smon]

BR///// It has been around since the era of the American Civil War.

[@rodolfojude4902]

Simply brilliant.!

Excellent rendition of Washington Grays to start the video. Thanks for posting.

[@robertmoore4147]

How on earth did you video this without tripping over someone well done ,great audio

[@coldstreamer6252]

robert moore it’s a trick you keep the camera steady and keep it perfect but watch where you are actually walking it’s kinda easy

[@etelvinamariadosreis7352]

Adoro essas bandas militares inglesas! Além do garbo e da elegância da marcha o repertório é bastante variado! Parabéns

[@theoldfilmbloke]

Great Video !! How do you keep up with them so well ? !! I was in the stands so missed this .Former RAMC Corporal

[@adrianb7597]

[@adrianb7597]

You want good drill and discipline then the guards are for you.

[@danielw5850]

Ernani Bernardo get on a plane, Emani, you’re most welcome, here 🙂🇬🇧

[@user-sz1dk4tw2o]

The first march was the Washington Grays, a devil of a march to play in concert and even trickier to play on the march. Am gobsmacked -- but then again, these guys are pros. OK, the women too.

WASHINGTON GRAYS

[@mr_mole2329]

Why aren’t the drum majors in state dress

[@yeye4888]

No royals present

[@musicloverfour]

In our day 50s/60s/70s if you marched alongside a band you kept in step with the band whats gone wrong maybe there for security but does not stop anyone marching in step becoming very slovenly

[@bwalker153]

Washington Grays!

[@lawrencegatt4515]

❤️👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@richardmoscrop607]

Why don't we see the cream if the British Army ?? the Corp of Drums especially the Guards Regts OK see the Bands but the real soldiers are the Drummers in any I infantry Regt l'm ex 1st Royal Anglian Regt Drummer ( bass drummer) be nice to see drummers , well it would

[@adrianmillar6069]

Richard Moscrop lol. never met a drummer, piper , bugler who was a real soldier, always great guys but not so keen😉

[@dingusdingus2152]

How many bears had to die in order for them to have those hats?

[@Robinmuk]

They used to be real bearskins, many years ago, these days they are synthetic. Same with the Leopard skin the bass drummers have over them to protect their uniform from the drum, used to be a real Leopard! Now all synthetic.

[@dingusdingus2152]

@@Robinmuk I was just curious how the hats were obtained. I was wondering if there was some official royal bear hunter who went around shooting bears and then skinning them and then leaving the rest of the carcass to rot. I realize this is cynical but humans are capable of such appalling cruelty and stupidity that if I found out that this was actually the case I would not be surprised...
