Terrific sound, rock solid intonation and great rhythm from Band of HM Royal Marines CTCRM. Enjoyed listening and watching. Thanks for posting.

Spiffing video! Wonderful selection of marches! I'd have to agree with ME this is the 'Cutest' RM Band I've seen! They might not be a full band but they still produce a wonderful sound! Well done!

[@johanboor]

But its time, they can also use some new marches as well.

[@4RXLA]

Great sound for such a small band. Especially liked Voice of the Guns and Glorious Victory.

[@paulhewitt5198]

This what puts the "Great" in Great Britain 🇬🇧 Just my view. Anyone else agree?

[@militaryevents107]

beautyful

GTER LOVE THE UK

[@trapezemusic]

The band did an excellent job, especially when you consider there are only 24 pieces fand that five are drummers! My compliments to all the musicians, especially the euphonium player.

[@exploreraa983]

25:05 🎵 Good Old Arsenal were proud to say The Name whilst we sing this song we will win the game 🎵

[@iainmccallum5535]

It was a great event...and something I was proud to cover.

[@colin10ten83]

Good performance, despite the windy weather conditions. The Stick Work by the Corps of Drums had to be tonned down, and the Poor Bass Drummer had a terrible time trying to keep his drum straight.😊

[@supernutkin5122]

Great display by the Band of HM Royal Marines, but not doing any stick work just because its windy is a first for me ..... How unusual and why such a small band with only 4 ranks across ?

[@al488j]

BZ to all, a well deserved honour for HMS Cambria.

[@JoeKasino1947]

👍🇬🇧👍

[@markwebster3105]

To cover that many cornets and clarinets, the band needs at least one more tuba, preferably e-flat, and an extra euphonium. It sounds very top-heavy. Good playing from those that are there, though.

[@colin10ten83]

Hi Mark, I think the Band sounded a bit top-heavy, possibly due to the fact that it was a reduced number of musicians, I am sure they usually have 35 on a parade and they would have had musicians playing those nstruments. Despite that they still put on a good show.

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Wonder why there’s no feathering or stick lifting as they usually don

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

It was due to the very high winds and they needed to control the drums.

[@geoffmitchell6515]

@@MilitaryBandsEverywhere ok never had a problem when I was in,wasn’t the RM by the way ….thanks

[@alanmccarthy3323]

Why no Stick Drill??

[@gray3553]

That's got to be the smallest RM Band I've seen, still great sound.

[@xoxopi3]

You could have easily muffled the wind with a muffler good video, sound amature

[@MrYoTambor]

Lifting sticks is a tradition that makes the Royal Marines band something recognizable and unique. too bad they don't.

[@leub01]

That is a full band but not the Royal Marine massed bands.

[@Ceremonial1000]

Shame the RN WECK bearer didn’t read the drill manual or rules. For example, his white belt is supposed to be worn left to right. He’s wearing it right to left.

[@someonesomeone7923]

I was one of the unfortunate marching people. Can’t believe one of the URNU feinted.

[@phoebus007]

I expect he/she sidestepped around some bollards in honour of the Principality Stadium.

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Why that incessant single left foot beat. Spoils a good March
