The Glaswegian - Great March - one of my Dad's Best!

[perardua93]

@TheManthatSaidWhat The melodies in 'Ae Fond Kiss' in order, are: Ae Fond Kiss/My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose/Ye Banks And Braes O' Bonnie Doon.

[VoxHuJan]

Impressive!

[ScottishShorts]

The Glaswegian, is that not "I belong To Glasgow" written by Will Fyffe i8n 1927? Not by thge person named by the talker.

[JPRizal2000]

@ScottishShorts it may be based on "I belong to Glasgow" but the march is "the Glaswegian" by J H Howe. I Belong To Glasgow is 3/4 time and in major. Meanwhile, The Glaswegian is in 4/4 and in minor.

@BritainiaNumberOne

Do they hold military appointments too?

[JohnBentleyRobinson]

What is the reason for the Drum Major 'stirring' his stick at 10:56 before signalling for the music to finish?

[SACCopE7]

Magnificent! No one beats the British Military on parade, particularly ceremonial situations such as this…

[bobby777knight]

@SACCopE7

Yes, it does seem like second nature to them, doesn't it? :)

[BritainiaNumberOne]

0:19 - God Save The Queen

1:22 - Ae Fond Kiss

3:30 - Act An' Be Done

7:29 - Les Huguenots

11:55 - The Glaswegian

[TheManthatSaidWhat]

@BritainiaNumberOne The mix of songs with Ae Fond Kiss would be nice if you could get them.

[JohnBentleyRobinson]

@BritainiaNumberOne

Thanks for that information. Far be it from me to suggest to the experts how to do it, but I would have thought that lifting the staff in the air would be better seen by those musicians at the back!

[cogidubnus1953]

Long live her majesty...

[Pearly403]

@cogidubnus1953

some of her soldiers deserved to live longer

[cogidubnus1953]

@Pearly403 Only according to you...she is my sovereign lady and my alleigance is totally with her...

[Pearly403]

@cogidubnus1953 Oh, I'm not arguing that, cogidubnus, I am the wife of a former serving soldier and the mother of a currently serving one. So you may grant me that I am fully aware of a soldier's allegiance with his monarch, but even though I fully understand and respect this allegiance, there's is this nurturing part of me that made me make this comment. Sorry, if I have offended you in any way, I did not intend to.

[ukscotchuk]

-1.33 I belong to Glasgow, superb. Very very proud. What a credit to the UK.

[BandaholicUK]

I love the quick inspection tune "Act an' be dun" by Major Robertson, really well scored for band!

[1302Viv]

Is that William at 00:08 shouting?

[emptyangel]

@1302Viv

No that's the Field Officer, he's the guy who does most of the shouting on parade.

The Duke has no actual involvement in the parade.

[1302Viv]

@emptyangel

Thanks but isn't he on a horse?

[emptyangel]

@1302Viv

Yep but other than being on the parade, on horseback and saluting, he doesn't do anything else.

[321lennert]

@1302Viv no
