Massed Bands March Down the Birdcage Walk - Beating Retreat 2017 - Arnhem

15.06.2017 - Massed Bands march as they played the song "Arnhem". Notice that the Drum Majors were wearing State Dresses, because HRH Prince Harry was present in Horse Guards Parade, the place where the guards were marching to.

How can you not love two ranks of trombones laying out a street-clearing swath of acoustical destruction for the entire ensemble?

[@andreraposo72]

Just amazing. I think it's my favorite youtube video. Love "acoustical destruction" lol!

[@windy344]

Well said! I haven't heard a military band that can compare with the British Guards bands, the musical score is marvelous.

[@trapezemusic]

A beautiful march played well from start to finish. Thanks for posting this video.

[@JohnnyNorfolk]

We remember Arnhem today.

[@g4m1ng4life]

I like how the trumpets play the second part one octave higher then it is written on the score @3:35

[@andreraposo72]

Kudos to them as it sound so friggin' solid!

What about the Empire?

[@danielw5850]

I believe that it was (Post-1945) a mostly peaceful transition to the Commonwealth, which has now seen former colonies of other nations join, forming a club devoted to trade, education, culture and other forms of cooperation .

Arnhem / Beating Retreat, Quick March

[@Feeburgproducties]

Love this march! We play it too and very nice to hear these traditional marches. Bassdrum is way too loud though

[@keithrudd8003]

Bart Feeburg, no it’s not .. there a formation of guards behind the band who use the bass drum to keep step

[@Feeburgproducties]

@@keithrudd8003 for this march its too loud ;) Sure if its necessary for the guards , I understand. Although if they are good guards they can march also without bassdrum, just to the music;)

[@keithrudd8003]

@@Feeburgproducties No its not ....

[@danielw5850]

What? Place and occasion; this was not a concert hall, but an open-air parade ground.
