Excellent voice from the Senior Drum Major Gareth Chambers who is newly appointed.

The Irishness in his voice is stunning!

Thanks for this, recognised the Voice of the Guns after the first bar, struggled to identify the others

[@samcarrigan957]

Sarafand only seems to have two options on Spotify, both the same track too - would love one by the RMBS

To hear it played by the massed band just makes it sound amazing! Love it ❤

[@christophertrento4891]

Thank you. I live in Australia which is essentially shut due to government incompetence! It’s so thrilling to see this tradition is still going! Thank you’ve made my day watching this . 😊🇬🇧🇦🇺

[@sidpheasant7585]

The band is socially-distanced, though ... and quite right too. Too many have suffered already.

Your wrong

Great way to start this event with the march "Sarafand" which is a march with a real swagger to it! This by Wilcocks I believe. "Voice of The Guns" another classic from K. Alford. What is the name of third march? Sounds a bit like a Claudio Grafala work.

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

The Red Shield, not too sure who composed it but it’s a great march.

Bit nondescript these tunes. Until "Voice of the Guns" anyway...

Shame about the Bassoon player !!! Out of step most of the trip down the mall !!

[@sundaymorningguitar7787]

Everyone else is out of step!

[@nathanmiranda8098]

@@sundaymorningguitar7787 It's quite a shame! Probably the least clean I've seen the Guards Bands march...

[@pjm999]

To be fair...the bassoon player could be a new recruit to the band and bearing in mind that military bands have been on other duties such as NHS related operations for over 18 months I'm sure that marching as a massed band will be as tight as before in no time.....well spotted though.
