As always Spiffing video MrB! I was waiting for this, as I spotted you in the crowd! I must say beautiful sound coming from the Brass, specially those Cornets! I always find it fascinating how these musicians quickly go from 5 ranks wide to 3, a testament to their training and musicianship! The marches played were, 1) 0:24-Arnhem 2) 4:13-The Mad Major 3) 6:56-Army of the Nile 4) 10:26-Scarlet and Gold 5) 13:36-Colchester Castle 6) 17:07-The Great Little Army 7) 20:20-Lass of Richmond Hill

[@Reggie_91]

have to say the diffence in adding a second euphonium make to the overall sound is great here

[@MikeM14-40]

I fully agree, Reggie!

[@MikeM14-40]

Many thanks for another excellent video, Mr Baton, and I'm glad the never-ending rain managed to not spoil it. It's really great to be able to settle in to watching and listening to the band for such a long continuous period, and I thought that the selection of marches played was very good.

[@MrBaton74]

was a nice little march, weather was actually pretty warm for the Saturday, didn't start raining until I had just left the Albert Hall on Saturday night, got pretty drenched walking back to the hotel.

[@davidjacksoncompositions4158]

That's interesting. I came from North Kensington and have heard of this unit many years ago.

Many thanks Mr Barton

Chelsea Barracks....only railings remain. Remember pre IRA, Guard Mounting from Chelsea. Never thought to see Coldstream Band passing old Band Office at Duke of York's HQ in Kings Road. Wonder how many musicians knew about that? Thank you for fascinating post.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Great video, mr baton. Thank you

[@MrBaton74]

glad you enjoyed it.

[@daviddrake3504]

"Great Little Army"...wonder if that is irony? Just a thought. Well done regulars and Volunteers alike.

Thank you for sharing.😊

[@MrBaton74]

no problem, glad you liked it.

@@MrBaton74 I like your videos because you record the music completely🥰🥰🥰

[@AnnofWales21]

A great video, super sounds and visuals. Someone else also posted this outing but it’s a treat to have it shot from other angles and perspectives too. It must have been nice not to have as much dodging amongst onlookers as you usually have. Thank you for filming and sharing👍

Oh jolly, the real deal !!!!! Love British Military Bands !!❤❤❤❤

Arnhem, a haunting march.

[@user-px2tt3pq9u]

Fantastic

[@neilstamper4130]

Magic.

[@Mike05121988]

Nice video. I always assumed the drum mayors lead their respected bands. This drum mayor was from the Irish guards. At least according to his plume on the bearskin.

When will there be a changing of the guard at Kensington Palace again?

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

Hello, This wasn't a Guard Change or Guard Mount. It was the Kensington Regiments Freedom of the Borough Parade. It is the highest Honour given by any City or Borough to a Regiment, in which they are allowed to march with Rifles and Bayonets Fixed and Drums Beating. This is usually given to a Regiment that has made a contribution in defending the realm, and is usually given to a Regiment that has or had local ties to the Borough or City. Hope this helps!

[@besiktasistanbuljk]

@@delvinrodriguez3341i understood thank you

[@davidjacksoncompositions4158]

Having said that, the Coldstream cornet players are not what they used to be.

[@midnightteapot5633]

Sixty five musicians back in the 1970,s and none of them females or midgets. I think very little is what it used to be.

[@daviddrake3504]

Bit harsh?
