As an American I have never seen the Norwegian Military Tattoo. Today I am very excited to learn about the kings guard band and drill team of Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Also, these are 19 year old conscipts. They have been training less than a year

Actually, when they get in to the displays (tattoes) they have been in service for 3 months or less....

Hi Tyler, As a former corporal in His Majesty the King’s Guard 3. Company drill unit (was the 5. Company when I was in 2001), there is a lot of training to perform at the highest standard. As mentioned before, we are only in for 1 year. People that joined the marching band, they have had a musical entrance exam in order to get picked out. They have usually more than 10 years of experience in playing and marching. When it comes to the drill unit, we do not have the same experience and therefor starting from scratch. Weapon that is used is a Garand M1 with a bayonet, weigh in at 5 kg or around 11 pounds. The bayonet can absolutely cut you if you are a bit unlucky with your position and do not have enough space when we rotate the rifle. In my platoon, we have one deep cut right before a performance, but we just taped it up and did our show. The total length of one show, is about 30 minutes long. What you saw was a shorten version of it because it was a tattoo and you need to make place for other nation as well. My first 6 months of training, before even getting to show of what we could, consisting of me getting up at 0530 and in bed at 2300 each day. Almost no spare time, and no time for yourself. Always something to work on, to be better on. At this time, we had the weekends off. From May to September, then the drill season is on. At this time, we only had 2 weeks off as summer vacation. Rest of the time goes to practice and performing, both weekdays and weekends. There is 32 persons that perform at the same time. But what do you not see is that we also have 8 persons that are working as reserve, so that we can rotate with personnel to not get injuries because it is quite a load for your knees and hip socket. After a while, you can smash your Garand M1 into your hips without feeling anything cause all your nerves are totally gone… I was marked as a reserve, and this is the highest form for trust you can get. It means that you need to have control over 4 different places within the drill. And all position is a bit unique. Since I was in service 2001, I was able to go to Edinburgh Military Tattoo for a month. This is the most prestige tattoo in the world! Was it hard work? ABSOLUTELY! But what a unique year I was able to experience!! Can for sure recommend this as a military service.

Fantastisk innlegg, virkelig synd Tyler aldri leser kommentarer. Denne burde han absolutt lest.

[@Xirque666]

Var 07 kontigent med direkte innrykk i KP 5 Forpleining i 2000-2001, og var heldig nok med å få med meg Flomlys drillen for avtroppende hvor Imperial March ble fremført for siste gang, og konserten til neste musikk kontigent (generalprøven før besøk de hadde i Bergen, blant annet en som hadde skrevet et stykke dedikert til ene prinsessa der (husker ikke om det var Victoria eller Madeleine). Husker vi beundret kontrollen drilltroppen hadde hadde under trening...tror en av dere spøkte med at dere sov sammen med trestokken som var brukt i begynnelsen 😅. Husker også at hele leiren våket etter at russen hadde brutt seg inn og lager problem for Musikk og Signal en natt. Vi sov på skift i tilfelle de prøvde å komme seg inn ubedt igjen.

[@TheSilwee]

So cool to see this again. I was a member of that exact group. His Majestys Kings Guard 3 company . Was in from october 03 to October 04. This was actually the last performance we did before beeing released from the army. I played first trumpet. As an old HMKG member we have a saying. "En gang gardist, alltid gardist." Translate to something like once a guard, always a guard. Thanks for all the norwegian reaction clips you share. I really enjoy them.

[@OriginalPuro]

Thanks for your service. Alt for Norge.

[@Ebb0Productions]

I was in 5th company. Always enjoyed watching you guys train and perform. Very good job.

6:44 When you realize those were bayonets 🤯

[@geirolavsrensen]

Hi I served in the kings guard in my youth. 3 months recruit training and 9 months active service, wich mainley is watch service by the royal castle, Skaugum where the crown prince family lives, Akershus fortress and in the summer season at Bygdøy kongsgård(kings farm) This units in the video is not ordinary units, they train for 6 months, and then is active for 6. Yoy saw 3 units here, the drill corps which drill with guns (Garrand rifles) the signal corps with straith horns without valves and drummers and the guards band which is a ordinary band setup. This units do not do ordinary service as soldiers, they travel around an make performances. The signal and the drill often do this together. The signal corps or one of then is on watch duty at the castle when the king is there, an play a fanfare when the king leave through the front gate or come in. In my time there king olav was the regent. He mistly left through the back gate, besause then he could drive hinself instead of having a driver. He always left in a big black vintage american car with his dog, he always saluted the guard post with his hat. The police guars wich followed hin drove behind in a volvo. By the way, this was not the best performanc i have seen from the drill corps, look for more wideos, an you will probably fins som far more impressing

[@jarls5890]

02:26 What is more impressive that all of these are conscripted soldiers. I.e. these are not professionals with years of experience - but only serve total for a little over a year (I don't remember exactly how many months...16 months?)

[@DizzWhazzUp]

Only 12 months. Some are being brought on from the next "batch" of recruiits (about 3 months after the original selection). These people will have to catch up to the rest, and when they're done with their 12 months of service, those latecomers will stay for about 3 months to assist with training the new group taking over. I think some drummers might stay on if they don't manage to find enough from year to year, but I'm not 100% sure.

[@5Gburn]

WHAT THE HECK?!

[@MissCaraMint]

@5Gburn It’s true. I did it myself. We were only in for 12 months.

[@foolseye84]

More like 11 months to be precice. This is the second to last Day of service if i remember correctly🤔

[@jeschinstad]

It's 12 months + 6 months optional for some.

[@Cyclon3.]

You were right about the tune being like an old western, because it is, it's the good, the bad and the ugly. They usually add in a popular song for fun, they have also done super mario bros, the mandalorian, star wars etc..

[@OriginalPuro]

The Good, the bad, and the ugly. One of the greatest western movies ever made, along with several other movies starring Clint Eastwood.

[@erlandsteenberg5408]

The music is from the movie the good, bad and the ugly with Clint Eastwood😄. And this is the kings guard that protect the king, Queen and the rest of the royal family👍

[@kathryndunn9142]

I knew it was something I recognized I knew it was American

[@sigrunwestrus68]

The composer of the music is the Italian Ennio Morricone.

[@Valfodr_jr]

​@@kathryndunn9142Not American at all. The composer and director is Italians, filmed in Spain, the movie itself is an Italian, West-German and Spanish co-production and the cast, apart from Eastwood and Lee van Cleef, is from all over the world. Despite what most US citizens believe, not everything comes from the US.

[@afrog2666]

@@afrog2666 SHE is referencing the music and SHE is wrong. There's nothing to defend, she's wrong, simple as that. And you're wrong calling her a "he".

[@Henoik]

The last march they play (Gammel Jegermarsj/"Old Jäger March") is a march that I think every marching band in the whole of Norway plays on the 17th of May. It's very traditional

[@Dorfs]

jeger burde bli oversatt til ranger eller hunter. jäger er ikke et engelsk ord

[@Henoik]

@@Dorfs Ranger er en helt innafor oversettelse, men alle i det amerikanske militæret som har nyss om SF vet hva Jäger betyr i denne sammenhengen (source: empiri - men også det faktum at du kan søke opp enhver SF-fyr på YT og se at de snakker om "jägers" hva gjelder ikke-amerikanske jegere)

[@thomasdahl2232]

Despite the fact that this Norwegian troop is among the best in the world they are only in service for one year, (all Norwegian men AND women are obligated to serve in the army for one year) which means that many wonder how on earth they keep coming up the best year after year. This is an international competition - hence the flags. Women are welcome but few apply because of the demanding rifle gymnastics.

[@ahkkariq7406]

The reason is that you must be at least 170 cm tall due to the length of the weapon. The average height for women in Norway is approximately 167 cm. There are not that many girls who are 170 cm or more, and when you have to filter out those who are suitable for this, you have even fewer to choose from.

[@AlphaChinoz]

LOL, "all Norwegian men AND women" - things have changed a lot. I'm 25, I was expecting to be conscripted along with all of my male friends when we were kids (would be serving in 2017/18). In the end, only 1/10 of everyone I went to school with ended up doing their service, we all got a letter to fill in our motivations (sesjon del 1), and then we just got an answer "you will not be called in for service."... And it was just in the news this year, that we're down to 15% of each year (kull?) serving - so I wasn't far off from my estimate with 1/10. Yes, technically we all are legally obliged, but that doesn't reflect reality. Funnily enough, the group of people I personally knew who were the most that ended up serving were the ones in media and photography in high school - apparently that's what the Norwegian armed forces wants these days. All older men I know, family and friends, were pretty surprised by this. Prior to 2010, it wasn't even really a question whether you're going to serve or not as a man, and it was a hazzle to avoid it. Now you fill in your papers with good grades, no illnesses, no criminal record, physically active exercising four times a week, and fully motivated (10 out of 10 or whatever it is) and all you get is a letter back with that one, simple sentence: "you are not being conscripted". It was quite disappointing, to be honest. Of course we could apply, but we ended up studying and working instead...

[@annycarchrie2013]

It is the King's Guard, 3rd company

[@stianh.4587]

The tune you recognized is invariably known as “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” or “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”. The same tune is used for the children's song “Runaway Train”. You might have heard it performed by United States Marines Band or in a movie, most prominently used in Die Hard With a Vengeance.

[@palmarolavlklingholm9684]

They usually play something very famous, and something Norwegian. They always finish with Gammel Jeger Marsj ( Old Hunter's March)

[@ThorbjrnPrytz]

Stomping is important for synchronization, it is a timing mark to verify everyone is in unison

[@JeFilm94]

No need to verify. If you're not in sync you would not be there at all. The stomping, or rather - the 'appell', has no other function than to be a boastful accent the rhythm in the performance.

[@sundhaug92]

Displays like these come from the time when tight drills in formation was essential to military performance and such displays like these were a way to show how good your soldiers were

[@AlphaChinoz]

Times certainly have changed, now I'd say even the soldiers won't have to be that good warriors because of modern technology. The last 20 odd years the Western nations have been fighting a far inferior enemy, until Ukraine started two years ago. Even great soldiers can't do anything against tiny drones with thermal cameras and missiles. I wonder what the future brings...

[@geiramTV]

''is this norwegian traditional military music?'' and they play the theme from the good the bad and the ugly and ultra american movie :D hehe . love ure content bro :D

[@LA1BNA]

"Gammel Jegermarsj" always gives me goosebumps! It, together with "Gardemarsj", reflects our pride as a nation, and having served the army. I served in HMKG myself in the early eighties. Later a couple of periods for the UN forces in Lebanon. It's in the bloodstream now.

[@feonor26]

The drill and music platoon have long and proud traditions in Norway. Only volunteers get in and you have to apply and audition to get in. They are conscripts who only serve 1 year and they train from dawn to dusk every single day, sometimes weekend included. As for the music they change it up every year except the march they are playing when marching in and marching out which is HMKG's own march called God Gammel Jegermarsj (Good old fashioned ranger march....or something like that). Also the tune they were playing were from an old western movie ;) Ennio Morricone.

[@geiroveeilertsen7112]

12:03 The melody is "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", which should be know by most americans 🙂

[@pumagutten]

Yes, Tyler, at 12:15 you should know that tune. It's from the American Cicil War and it's called "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

[@Goldenhawk583]

my thoughts exactly. No offense, but.. very american of him ( im norwegian:P)

[@pegasus210563]

At 14:15, Gammel Jegermarsj (Old Hunters March) is a traditional Norwegian march. The Kings Guards mostly use it for their exit from the show. All Norwegian marching bands in Norway know this tune from the heart.

[@pegasus210563]

At 15:18 The Kings Guards 1, 2 and 4 companies actually is real fighting units, beside standing guard at the Royal Norwegian Castle and protecting the royal family. The Third company you see here is mostly the display company, traveling around the world for tattooes like this, but make no mistake, this muscians and drill soldiers also are highly trained soldiers, ready to go in to armed action if reqiured.

[@1973sonvis]

At the time you asked about the music the HMKG was playing theme from the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, music by Ennio Morricone

[@t7j]

The tone at 12:22 I've heard that in the move Die Hard with Bruce Willis from 1988

[@borgerborgersen372]

The tune played on the bell lyres was "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" by Adam Faith. It's from the US Civil War.

[@pegasus210563]

At 6:20 The rifle used is the M1 Garand, and during the hole performance all rifles has a live blank cartridge in the chamber ready to fire atany mistake. The bajonet mounted is also "a live one" sharp as any knife you would find in a chefs kitchen...

[@ella_bella9186]

[@kjetilandersen8329]

The music played at 12:03 is a song used in the American civil war, called "When Johnny Comes marching home" by the norther'n states troops.

[@ebbhead20]

Yes Tyler, that Western theme is a Norwegian folk song called The Brunost and the Surströmming by the very Norwegian composer Eivin Morricone. He also did the tune Once Upon a Time in Gausdal. 😅😅😅

[@pegasus210563]

At 2:45. Yes there is other countries present. That is what a Military tattoo is all about, deifferent countries show their best marching bands and drill routines, here we have Norway, Denmark, Finland and Scotland (I believe) Not shore of the fifth nation though due to the blury picture.In the end sometimes there is apointed a winner of the show. And yes, this is HMKG (His Majesty the Kings Guards of Norway).

[@vanjanyrudhalvorsen6913]

I have done that too, when I was a kid. Playing a instrument as We marched along the road. I played the trumpet. 😊👍🏻🇳🇴 But We didn’t have guns. 🙄

[@cathrineberntsen3786]

In the military tattoo, military groups from several countries perform. Everyone except the Norwegians are professional. The Norwegians, which you are seeing in this video, are just in the military for around a year. The two groups start practicing the marching, playing etc in January. The Norwegian Military Tattoo is in April (at least it was in April this year). And they have memorised the music they're playing. This year, most of the others carried sheet music to look at while performing.

When I was little i grew up right next to the camp where they train, in my neighbourhood it's tradtion to go see them perform every 17th of May.

[@tombulli1236]

Oh yes, that is something special. The Norwegians are very proud of it, even of their king! Norwegians address each other using the informal “du” form, but when addressing a king you have to use the formal “Sie”.

[@pegasus210563]

At 8:25 This is the theme from the old Western Clssic Movie "The good, The bad, The uggly" with Clint Eastwood starring. Not a classic norwegian tune but with the right arrangement a nice tune for marching troops.

[@benjamingjermstad5784]

That M1 Garand (Us WW1 rifle) is super heavy, with the realy long and sharp bayonet attached it's about 12 lb. The core strength of that guy spinning it superfast is crazy. Most years they don't even have a solo driller. Also they train with the bayonets on regularly, when i was in HMKG one off the most proficient guys in the 8 man drill showpiece got 20 stiches after a mishap.

[@bearofthunder]

"Gammel jegermarsj" (Traditional Hunters March) is something you may have heard in 17th of May videos. It is one of the most common tunes for marching bands in Norway.

[@torarnebjorn61]

Yes, from a western movie. Ennio Morricone. The good the bad and the ugly :-) The other one you recoginzed was Dixieland. From the civil war.

[@Xirque666]

This is the 3 troops of the kings guard 3rd company, the Drill Troop (gun men), Signal Troop (the long bassoons/signal horns and the drummers with black drum skins and white stick) and The music Troop (the rest of the musicians, including the drummers with white drum skins and black sticks, and orderairy trumpets)

[@Rallarberg]

Gammel Jegermarsj ("Old Hunter's March") is somewhat of a trademark for the HM King's Guard, and they "always" play it when they perform at tattoos or other events. As mentioned, these are all late teen conscripts, and the Norwegian Military Tattoo is held mid-spring, only 7-8 months after basic training. These guys aren't randos tho', you have to apply to get into the HM King's Guard, and there are obviously auditions if you are a musician and apply to join the marching band.

[@bjdefilippo447]

[@guleri]

They are so perfect because they drill and work real hard at this performance. They are all serving for 12 months and during that time they get basic millittary training, rehearse this show, travel around in Norway and sometimes abroad to show it to an audience, and the band is also holding more traditional concerts. They performs a good mix of traditional Norwegian marches (like Gammel Jegermarsj as they finished with), international marches and concert pieces both from Norwegian and internationa composers and arrangers. This video you watched were recorded at The Nowegian Millitary Tattoo where a lot of bands/units from both the US (2 US Marines units I believe) and Europe were participating.

Old hunting marc. The last one.

[@DizzWhazzUp]

These people don't do any military training, even though they are part of the Norwegian Army. They only drill/train the entire year they're serving. Many of the musicians have experience from being in marching bands from childhood, so to them this isn't all that new, but it's a lot more coordination than just marching down the street like they're used to. But even some of the more professional armies where people do this for a living will still have the sheetmusic in front of them whilst playing. The Norwegian guys never do that, they know them all by heart.

[@ahkkariq7406]

The fact that they are used to playing in marching bands from childhood must be a big advantage in comparison to other countries that do not have the same tradition as we have in Norway because of the way we celebrate Constitution Day. I realize that there is a lot of training that comes along, but some of the basic skills are built in over many years by the time they reach adulthood.

[@janhaheim1348]

yeap the tune you wondering about is from an old western movie starring clint eastwood " the good, the bad and the ugly"

[@lhh7100]

In my opinion, you should look at the 2011 Sweden International Military Tattoo. I think it's a spectacular performance they do.

[@gard86]

The music is from The good the bad and the ugly.... Ennio Morricone

[@JeFilm94]

Norway has mandatory service in the military for physically and mentally eligible citizens when they reach adulthood. The service lasts one year, after which they go back to civilian life. That also accounts for the musicians and precision drill performers in this video. They're there for a year, then they're replaced by green recruits who will need to be trained from the ground up all over again. Speaks to the effort that goes into attaining the level they get to, since they don't have years to perfect it, but rather they do it in months.

[@Yourfriendnword]

The most impressing is that they are not prosessinal military men and women. This is while doing time in the military for a couple of years!

[@MissCaraMint]

One year. Not a couple. It’s just one.

The tune, The good, bad and ugly...

[@ingvartorma9789]

These Norwegian soldiers and the band consist of ordinary conscripts. Who do 12 months of military training, so this speaks to how well trained they are in the short time they are inside that army. The song you say sounds like it's from an old western movie, that's right. It is from the movie is from 1966 and is called The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, with Clint Eastwood.
