HA ERWISCHT! Die dritte Band spielt einen deutschen Marsch ;) Mich wundert es da so wenige Zuschauer stehen, interessiert es die Britten nicht mehr so sehr, ob ihre Königin Geburtstag hat, wäre aus meiner Sicht bedauerlich.
@JumpingFlapjack: No, it's is just a rehearsal. That's why it's not fully packed with people. Die Briten haben ein unverkrampftes Verhaeltnis zur Monarchie und Vaterlandsliebe. Bei uns Deutschen sieht das leider nicht so dolle aus.
The Irish drummer with the mascot dog seems to have a problem with swinging his arm front to rear, come on now, can't this be sorted.out wth a few extra drills ?.
Why is the Drum Major in State Livery? I thought that was only when the Soverign was present. As this was the Colonel's Review, the Queen was not present.
@bill1745 The Drum Major wears the state dress in the presence of all members of the Royal Family. The Duke Of Edinburgh was on the parade as Colonel Of The Grenadier Guards whose turn it was to troop their colour.
I love how the Scots Guards parade around about on British streets, just going wherever they want! I wish we had some Scots Guards in the U.S.! It's like they are saying, "Look at me! I'm special!" So pompous, arrogant and wonderful! --
Great video and presentation of each of the bands. I'm only kidding when I say they should buy a few more bass drums and place them among the guards so they don't have to hear the band bass from a block away. They are about to wear out both drum and drummer on each march. Bigdrum--you should be able to attest to that. I love the bands and their full stride marching. True professionals all.
The Irish Guards playing IN TREUE FEST (Firm in Loyalty), and the Coldstream Guards playing Alte Kameraden (Old Comrades), both by German march composer Carl Teike! Not bad!
The Irish Guards and Welsh Guards did not participate in 2010's Trooping the Colour. I believe the Welsh Guards were away on operations in Afghanistan, however the Irish Guards did provide most of the guardsmen who lined the route from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.
I was replying to an individual comment, why would the subject of the video matter?
He was asking why the Irish Guards did not parade on Horse Guards for 2010's Trooping the Colour. Easily discerned since it is given that all 5 Guards bands always take part in Trooping the Colour and that 5 different bands appear labelled in this video.
Regardless, you are quite wrong. The guardsmen at 2:48 are Coldstreamers and like I said initially, the street-liners are Irish guardsmen.
@AbleDempsey It may be based on 'I belong to Glasgow'. The march is 'The Glaswegian' by J H Howe. I am not sure because 'I belong to Glasgow' is in 3/4 time and in the major. This section is in 4/4 time and in the minor! The tune proper appears later on (not heard in this extract). On either side is the tune 'Kelvingrove' (a part of Glasgow). This was originally the tune for 'The Shearin's No For You', a great song but too strong for the Victorians who produced the current 'nice' version.
Another great video thebigdrum...very steady to watch. Do you use a tripod? Marches are Irish Guards Band "Steadfast And True" Welsh Guards Band "To Your Guard" Coldstream Guards Band "Old Comrades" Grenadier Guards Band " King's Guard". The March played by the Scots Guards Band escapes me at the moment. It is a compilation of scottish tunes and I think was composed by Major James Howe, a former Director of Music of the Scots Guards. The tune they are playing is "The Rowan Tree"
Um who's dog is that? Whats special about him/her?
