His Majesty the King's Guard of Norway Drill Evaluation 2023

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

Brilliant video! Once again! The Band of HMKG has to be one of my favourites! Their Sound, Bearing, and overall performance is absolutely Spiffing!

[@militaryevents107]

The drill is so sharp! fantastic Video!

[@jakobsandberg4089]

The march played during the March off is Avanti Per Patria by Swedish composer Sam Rydberg

[@MortenVikJohnsen]

The march played at 7:15 «Vaktparade» (Changing the guard parade) by Øyvind Strand

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

Thank you very much for this! Do you know the name of the march before this one or the name of the song they sing?

[@MortenVikJohnsen]

The song is Norge mitt Norge. (Norway, my Norway) Text: Teodor Caspari, melody: Alfred Paulsen

[@MortenVikJohnsen]

The march played after Gibraltar is "Kronprins Olavs Marsj" (Crown Prince Olavs March) Music: Per Berg/Arr: Ingemar Badman. Not to be confused with the more well-known Crown Prince Olav's Honor March

Try are good at wind- band in Norway! A genuine tradition looked after.

[@PettersenLars]

Remember this is conscripts - one year of national service

Very smart. They could teach our own so-called 'Guards' more than a thing or two. 👍🇬🇧

[@chriz7074]

Personally, I think the household division is quite good. Even though they don't do drill like we do, they're still really good with foot drill.

[@chriz7074]

I know one of the hornists in the band!

[@aleksisiltanen6076]

Finale is not 'Gardemarsj' but 'Gammel norsk jegermarsj'.

👏😍🙋‍♀️

[@asc3184]

They have their own martial style. Very smart n their own without being a parody of prussian style like the swedes .

[@MortenVikJohnsen]

The hats are inspired by Italian mountain troops Bergsaglieri

[@asc3184]

@@MortenVikJohnsen i know the story behind the bersaglieri's hats. Unfortunate that their hats don't match the gravitas of the story ( in the bersaglieri case). Actually now that u mention it the hat is the only thing in their uniform i am not totally crazy about. They have such an air of martial dignity but the hat.... luckily they manage to wear it in a way that makes it their own, and does not come across like the belsaglieri. Much more dignified. Like i said their martial movements r very dignified n not exaggerated at all.
