[@dundee101]

[@AllanYoung-s8z]

[@colin072]

Good video, I was there again but it’s good to watch everything back from a different position.

[@nucleargaz1]

'Effin brilliant!!!!

[@rayrigden1866]

Could never get to grips with that quick march. Brilliaqnt to watch though.

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

Great video! Fantastic marches today! Even another Greek one! The marches played, 1) 0:44-Bab El Mandeb 2) 3:05-Quick Silver 3) 4:58-Silver Bugles (Return to Barracks) 4) 6:44-General Mitchell 5) 8:42-Thessaly March 6) 10:38-Wellington 7) 13:25-The Rising of the Lark

[@exploreraa983]

Wow! the march back is usually kind-of tame, but they are changing things up. I've not heard them play the Greek Thessaly March before! What a brilliant video catch today!

[@joannicholson3030]

My favourite is Mechanised Infantry, great peice of music 😊

[@julianmounser3241]

Why do the buglers do a (florrish) before playing?

[@oml81mm]

In theory, to shake any spittle out of the instrument as bugles do not have drain valves. In practice, partly the above, and partly as a flourish.

[@dcx3li914]

@@oml81mm Correct.

[@grahamdolding4840]

but you cant florrish to hard or you will lose your mouth piece

[@oml81mm]

@grahamdolding4840 good one... but just in case of accidents there is a little chain to prevent embarrassment 😳

[@grahamdolding4840]

True but I never knew anyone who used it

[@Sh4dowNinj4Schinken]

Whats that second march called?

[@terencerowland6424]

Females in the light infantry. Whatever next?

[@QuicknStraight]

I found 116bpm perfect when I was marching. I could never have joined the Rifles. That 140bpm is just too much!

[@peterconnell1462]

The boys done well, ex black mafia.

[@GradyPhilpott]

Why is this video at 1.25x? I slowed it down to .75x and it looks and sounds perfect. At normal speed, it looks like they're totally wired.

[@QuicknStraight]

I hope you're joking, yes?

[@jackx4311]

The video is *NOT* speeded up; the Rifles are Light Infantry, and march at 140 paces per minute. One of their roles was as units which could be rapidly deployed in battle to any point where it looked like the infantry of the line was under too much pressure, or, alternatively, to be dispatched to exploit a break in the enemy's line.

[@GradyPhilpott]

@@jackx4311 Thanks for the explanation. That was exactly my problem. I was trying to reconcile the fact that I assumed that they should be marching at quick time (120 steps per minute) with what I was seeing and hearing. When I slowed the video down to x.75 that looked and sounded more like what I was expecting. When we US Marines want to cover more ground by moving at a quicker pace, we go to route step, which is not at a singular pace, but is taking strides as long as possible at a pace as quickly as possible and no one is in step. One hundred and forty steps per minute is something completely new to me, and especially for bands. I am aware of the Italian military band that marches and plays at double time, however. Thanks again for your explanation.

[@talsius.1019]

@@GradyPhilpott on a major parade with other military Corps and Regiments if the light Infantry wish to march of at their marching pace of 140 they leave the parade last else they must march off at 116. You can notice as at the beginning they band are leading leading light Infantay so 140 but on the march return the Guards at 116

[@dingusdingus2152]

Some of these guys are playing bugles which look suspiciously like trombones and tubas 🤔

[@jackx4311]

That's because some of those instruments *are* trombones and tubas. There's always *one,* isn't there?

[@funkychunkgaming9738]

They are called the Band and Bugles of the Rifles

[@OldBedan]

Another grand video, thank you. My grandfather was in the Durham Light Infantry in World War 1. Hard for me to imagine him marching at 140 paces to the minute. The new guard of Gurkhas looked tremendously smart today.

[@steveellis9065]

Gurkhas always look smart

Whats the march at the beginning called?

Thank you for keeping up with the bugles. It makes a pleasant change to hear them.

Where’s the black bugler these days? Missed him lately 😊

[@steveellis9065]

The buglers are also riflemen so possibly on deployment somewhere, alternatively he could have left the army.

[@stansadler8113]

Brings back many memories,marching at 140 rifles at the trail

[@gunhojput]

a certain jingle to the mind body and spirit yes and as the say once a rifleman always a rifleman.

[@jon6815]

Thank you for this, good videography with consistent good sound. I grew up on this stuff since my dad served in KRRC throughout WW2.

[@deanlea6013]

Swift and bold

[@grahamdolding4840]

not to pick holes but the rifles is both light regiments both the Light Infantry and the Royal Green Jackets and some heavy biffs
