Correct. Every male around the age of 18 to 20 gets a draft notice. Then follow a couple of interviews at the local "HQ" and if they deem you fit then you are called into the army for one year. And I remember correctly then follows a 6 week boot camp before you are sent to the station you got accepted into. For example border patrol near the Norwegian-Russian border and some (mainly musicians) get accepted into the royal guard for these kinds of things.
"If one man can show that much hate... Think how much love we ALL can show together,,," This is a representation of the norwegian people. Our military guard is a part of us.
Precision, thy name is NORWEGIAN MILITARY TATOO. For this exhibition I give thee a million stars. Oh hell, you were so good I'm just going to give you the heavens. BRAVO good people.
@Falkunov It's a Norwegian military tattoo, and there where displays from the Norwegian military, and the military of some of Norway's allies. USA was represented there, and that's why their flag is there. USA was the only non European country represented.
@UrNorsk1987 It's sad. I've been going through footage of the latest OLA drills as of late, and 2004 is undoubtedly one of the better (although this year's is bloody good too). But after becoming so insanely good, it's pretty sad to just throw them out into civilian life again. I discharged yesterday (not KP3), at the precise time my platoon was at its peak =/ With, say, another year, these guys could be ... wait, strike that - it's not possible to become more legendary than they already are ; )
@Nizingur I actually think this years (2011) OLA drill is the best i have ever seen and one of the most difficult.
Og et år til i KP3 er det nok ingen som takler, og man ville ha mistet all progresjon på drillen i løpet av høsten det første året. Et år er søren meg nok i KP3! ;)
@HMKGman1 Haha, ja jeg vet hvor dimmeklar man blir! Jeg dimmet i Juni, og de siste ukene før dim greide jeg nesten ikke å holde meg samlet, jeg ville bare DIMMMMMME. Hehe. Jeg synes også at OLA-drillen 2011 er helt fantastisk, men så er det jo den drillen jeg har et personlig forhold til, så da er det jo vanskelig å uttale seg helt nøytralt :P Hvilken kont er du?
amazing blend of sound, flawless visuals (except for the guy about losing his drum at 1:45 lol) i think of the powerful low brass sound every time i pick up my instrument
@westscott246 No. Half-loaded. There's a (blank) round in the weapon the entire time, but not in the chamber. If you listen very closely (better really if you can see them perform in practice, without an audience lol) in the preceding few beats before they fire, you can hear them loading. Just two small separate clicks. But there's so much commotion when there's an audience. They always LOVE when they fire so unexpectedly :P
elsker garden! blir så glad hver gang jeg hører dem! kusina mi spilte trompet i fjordårets tropp og en medmusikant fra skolekorpset mitt spiller trummer der i år... :) er også ofte på miltær tatoo i spektrum :D love it!
@paumikan. They are all one year conscripts, and most of them would be aged somewhere between 18 and 25. You would have to do an audition to be able to join the band, so they are not complete rookies.
I understand that the drill team is composed completely of one-year conscripts. And their performance is truly outstanding. However, is the band also conscripts or is it composed of more longer enlistments? The quality of the band gives the impression of semi-professional musicians. Either way they are fantastic.
Fy faen det her fikk meg til å grine! :P Ufattelig godt sammensatt. Gjør meg så helvetes stolt av å være Norsk, og å skulle søke meg inn i Fallskjermjegertroppen til sommeren.
@TheSteinbitt Sant nok. Du forsøker å få det frem i negativ forstand, altså dømmer du meg på bakgrunn av én kommentar på Youtube. Dette viser at du ikke er noe "bedre enn meg". Nå vil jeg nødig fyre opp under nok en tragisk Youtube-krangel som skal dekke hele kommentardelen av denne videoen. Jeg vil allikevel få påpeke at Norge har blitt kåret til det beste landet å leve i.
@TheSteinbitt Norske Elitestyrker høster i tillegg høy annerkjennelse utenlands. Dermed baseres ikke min "Najonalisme" på bakgrunn av kun denne videoen, men heller helheten av Kongeriket Norge. :)
@Muscleby Media i alle land raporterer det samme, her i polen (hvor jeg studerer) har de også "de beste elitestyrkene i verden";) disser ikke, Norge er fantastisk, men ikke på grunn av militæret, idrett, eller litteraturen, men pga demokratiet og levestandarden (høna eller egget?);)

The best drill and music i have ever seen they serve for 1 year..!!!!! and do this... it's amasing!!!! when do you come to Holland Boys 2004 was the last time......
@hannahbananalee The uniforms in the norwegian army/royal guard has changed alot over the years. Throughout the 1800s they went from danish, to german style, to french style, back to german again, over to french and finally in th early 1900 they went for the style that we see here. I'm not sure where the influence came from, but if the marines uniforms are of the same era, that might be a clue.
@Superhaze Wrong. The uniform of HMKG has almost remained unchanged throughout it's history. The uniforms were designed in 1856 with inspiration from Prussia. The bowler hats are taken from the italian Bersaglieri.
the striped trousers maybe, many bands have that. I dont see much else. Scandanavian militaries have always been influenced by the ebbing and flowing of the various superpowers in Europe over the centuries.
Is there any question as to *how* Norway came to have the highest living standard on the face of the earth....all while being generally congenial and honest? :-)
What a fantastic performance! If the countries in question, had never spent money friviously....Ther would be no Ballet, Symphonies, Theatre, or fine arts of any sort! It is a complicated and treacherous path to civilization......Many souls have been lost over the milleniums...building cathedrals, towers, bridges, and even the Great Pyramids.....we all would be foolish to think that humanity could be save by the non exsistance of a exhibition....The Joust...The Gladiators! ...........
The comments I've received about paraphernalia shows the kind of people we are dealing with. I do not question the model of society the people have, if that is of their choice. None the less, I think that too much money is greedily spent in show-offs. (To defend the royal family, with all respect, is there the need for such an amount of people?) The performing qualities of the robot soldier is not at stake. Nothing against Norway, the royal family, or their unquestionably beautiful country.
I disagree with your funding (which I regard as nothing more then theft). That aside, the skill level and "show" factor of this preformence is beyond excellent.

Desidert en av de beste utførelsene jeg har sett, musikalsk messig. Drillteknisk er det flere andre oppdrag som topper høyere. Synd at NMT (selv til HMKG) gir så liten tid for fremførelser, synd at man ikke får sett fullt drillprogram.
Jeg savner mer porno høye appeller, som de var på slutten av '90 tallet :)
they mustve practised that hundreds of times to get it this precise. im having trouble thinking of something more mindnumbingly boring than practising that week after week. those guys are probably all vegetables now, brains shriveled like raisins.
Excellent! Congratulations, top notch execution, not forgetting the uniforms and the music. Those are late model Krag-Jorgensen rifles, aren't it? Beautiful.
Greetings from Portugal, and wishes of a Happy New Year!
@HMKGman1 nice vid but in Norway for this kinda stuff we use the Krag-Jørgensen, norway have never even used the Ameriacan m1 garand. actually USA used the krag before they got the Springfield 1903.
@HANSE658 Wrong! Norwegian armed forces did use both M1 Garand and M1 Carbine all the years after ww2 up until 1968, when G3 (AG-3) was adopted. My father was an officer in the Norwegian army and used both of these weapons. HMKG drill platoon use the M1 Garand due to its great balance.
Those are "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1". Commonly known as the M1 Garand. Kudos to the Norwegian military for preserving these historical artifacts and using them in such a fine fashion.
How many M1 rifles do you own? I have several and on the heel of the receiver of each rifle is stamped "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1". In fact, I took one out before posting and looked at it to make sure I had the wording correct. It is true that the M1 rifle uses the .30-06 (7.62X63) cartridge. The other, weak sister, is known as the M1 Carbine.
I really loved seeing the whole thing, . . . gives us all hope when we see young people dedicated enough to work this hard. I have to admit though, at one point in the music, . . . I half expected to see Clint Eastwood ride in and start one of his spaghetti western movies.
@abkalmo Yeah, in Sweden, our counterpart - the Royal Swedish Army Band (Arméns Musikkår) costs 7 000 000 crowns/year which is about 700 000 euro. I guess these costs about the same.

Desidert en av de beste utførelsene jeg har sett, musikalsk messig. Drillteknisk er det flere andre oppdrag som topper høyere. Synd at NMT (selv til HMKG) gir så liten tid for fremførelser, synd at man ikke får sett fullt drillprogram.
Jeg savner mer porno høye appeller, som de var på slutten av '90 tallet :)

they mustve practised that hundreds of times to get it this precise. im having trouble thinking of something more mindnumbingly boring than practising that week after week. those guys are probably all vegetables now, brains shriveled like raisins.

Excellent! Congratulations, top notch execution, not forgetting the uniforms and the music. Those are late model Krag-Jorgensen rifles, aren't it? Beautiful.
Greetings from Portugal, and wishes of a Happy New Year!

@HMKGman1 nice vid but in Norway for this kinda stuff we use the Krag-Jørgensen, norway have never even used the Ameriacan m1 garand. actually USA used the krag before they got the Springfield 1903.

@HANSE658 Feil, de bruker m1 garand.

@HANSE658 Wrong! Norwegian armed forces did use both M1 Garand and M1 Carbine all the years after ww2 up until 1968, when G3 (AG-3) was adopted. My father was an officer in the Norwegian army and used both of these weapons. HMKG drill platoon use the M1 Garand due to its great balance.

@HANSE658 As some said earlier, the Norwegian armed forces used the M1 after the war.
That is one of the main reasons the drill platoon uses the M1, except for it's great balance of course!
They are fixed with RAZOR sharp bayonets.

Those are "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1". Commonly known as the M1 Garand. Kudos to the Norwegian military for preserving these historical artifacts and using them in such a fine fashion.

@rcnixon23
I have to correct you on that, the .30 M1 is a Carbine .30 caliber and the M1 Garand is a rifle with the 30.06 caliber.

How many M1 rifles do you own? I have several and on the heel of the receiver of each rifle is stamped "U.S. RIFLE CAL. .30 M1". In fact, I took one out before posting and looked at it to make sure I had the wording correct. It is true that the M1 rifle uses the .30-06 (7.62X63) cartridge. The other, weak sister, is known as the M1 Carbine.

@JKuaresma The garand is so slacky and makes that noise. A Mauser is quiet and wont make a sound.

Drill Band is that beautiful display of order & control amidst the chaos that is true war. Also, they have bowler hats with plumes.

I really loved seeing the whole thing, . . . gives us all hope when we see young people dedicated enough to work this hard. I have to admit though, at one point in the music, . . . I half expected to see Clint Eastwood ride in and start one of his spaghetti western movies.

@conraddwight It's even more impressive once you realize they're conscripts and they're replaced each year by a new batch.

@abkalmo Yeah, in Sweden, our counterpart - the Royal Swedish Army Band (Arméns Musikkår) costs 7 000 000 crowns/year which is about 700 000 euro. I guess these costs about the same.
