[@cjwl1]

Utterly professional & innovative as always! Well done. There will be some pretty new people in that large band and you all performed brilliantly. A former very proud Royal Marine

No way! Had no idea you were there, (was me with the jeans and black hoodie. I’m so sorry for getting in your way at the end! My mistake completely

[@user-ir7os6wh1w]

Rewatching this I noticed the instructor of the cornet section (the Bd Sgt) has a trumpet instead of a cornet. Quite unusual for a parade gig

Fantastic video!

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

Thank you!

Excellent display, but this what you get from the Marines Bands, whether they be an established Band, or the Trainng Band which this one is. The Future is looking good for the RMBS, in the future years. The changing of the formations was well executed.

Superb display of Marching and playing as usual by the Marines but being an older person I prefer the more traditional music rather than 'modern' music (although National Emblem .of dourse,falls into this category) - I appreciate that bands have to to move with the times by playing this music but a few 'old pieces' wouldn't would it - nevtheless brilliant

Great Video, Everything seems to get in the way when I want to see the band ☹️

What are the ages of the students in this music school? They are excellent!

[@alhorn5617]

The majority of the ranks are between 18 and 21

@@alhorn5617 but some are considerably older 👀

[@supernutkin5122]

@@atomicmrpelly Looks as though there are two or three Corporal and Sergeant Instructors within the band as well.

[@jamesfraser4173]

How many bands, in total, are in this group?

[@mikeywh4582]

It’s just the school of music, including instructors and ranks that are returning from their current units to take part in their pass out

[@jasonburnett1326]

Is there a lack of trombones? I'm sure our bands are getting smaller unfortunately

[@someflipswhoguy]

itd look better if the drum major had a lower arm swing
