Royal Canadian Artillery Band and The Band of the Irish Guards - Changing the Guard

[@bobirvin1984]

Great job representing Canada and recognizing that Her Majesty is our Head of State. Unfortunately something that many Canadians don’t know.

So happy to see fellow Canadians doing guard duties! Love the many Canadian themed songs during their performance on the forecourt. Thanks for uploading.

Very nice to see captions listing titles of music! My naive ears appreciate learning what I have been listening to for years. Extra work makes an excellent presentation. Thank You

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

Thank you very much, that’s very kind! I’m glad you appreciate the extra work in the videos and your learning as you watch! ☺️

[@billbrydon3725]

[@militaryevents107]

"Duchess of Kent" is the slow march of the Royal Artillery, and was actually composed by the Duchess of the time!

Well done to our Commonwealth cuzzies kiaora NZ🥰👐👍

[@andreraposo72]

Proud to see and hear fellow Canadians representing us abroad. Good job although they are so so far from the brilliant UK bands. Good effort nonetheless lads! Would really like our bands to play marches a bit slower-tempo like the Britts. It would give fortes a bigger effect and well it just sounds better. I dunno ehy North-American bands play so fast!? Loved the video!

[@ken-u3n]

The marching pace of the Foot Guards is typically 116 paces per minute (ppm) instead of the usual 120ppm in Quick Time in the rest of the British Army ( except the Gurkhas and the Rifles regiments @ 140ppm Quick Time ). On ceremonial occasions the slower pace looks and sounds better IMHO. 👍🎶

[@normanwells2755]

Well I thought their performance was excellent.

[@Themapleleaforever]

@@ken-u3nas such, normal Canadian bands won’t be slowet

[@lesleymcshanemitchell9651]

Did you notice how many Gong's the Canadian Soldiers have on there Chest's [Medal's to you Yanks]

[@ItsjustJust516]

I don't understand why the band of the royal Marines sometimes play drums but not include with music

[@someflipswhoguy]

what do u mean by that?

[@charliedontsurf8063]

@@someflipswhoguy he means the drum fills

Washington Greys could only refer to the geezers in congress.

[@ianorr7623]

It would have been nice to hear the Guards band without some women yacking in some language in the background.

[@colin10ten83]

Good Video, but I think the Lancashire Artillery Volunteers Band Royal Artillery, could have done better than the Canadian Band. As another comment states their Tempo is too fast; compared to British Military Bands.

[@waynereardon6826]

Because we are Canadian and not Brits. Different armies of Her Majesty.

[@Themapleleaforever]

A train army we move fast through enemies

[@rocksandforestquiver959]

I mean have you ever seen what British tempos were like before 2000 or so? The Brits slowed down, and though many countries eventually did the same to a certain degree, some bands and regiments definitely have leftovers from days gone by. Look at the drill in Malaysia or Hong Kong around the time of the handover, or even British Guards Regiments in the 90s. Honestly I miss how snappy things used to be, and the upbeat drum cadences in Canada have a lot to do with our strong history of Light Infantry formations.
