what happened to that horse hair sporran at 6:18

[wrobinson7]

A grand entrance. It reminds me of the nightmares of the Wizard of Oz flying monkies that I had as a child.

up the micks QS

[bweber2k]

I take it that this paid out of taxes....to the tune of a 10 million dollars.

[victortico1]

what great memories.

[OLGregg1337]

@canadianbacon92 it's either mhari's wedding or dewar's spirit of the tattoo.. Most likely mhari's wedding

[canadianbacon92]

what's the tune starting at 5:03? I've heard it but I don't know the name

[TheDrummerboi94]

@canadianbacon92 yep Mairi's Wedding

[TheNaughtiusmaximus]

@TheDrummerboi94 actually, Mairi's wedding starts at about 4:04...note the change from the slow march "hero's of Kohima" to the faster paced reel - based tune... oh, and if there's any doubt there's a simplified version on wikipedia if you search for "mairi's wedding". it's "Dewar's spirit..." that starts at 5:03

[TheDrummerboi94]

@TheNaughtiusmaximus right you are

[jonjeny]

@canadianbacon92 The Minstrel Boy

[vaiol123]

What is the name of the first band playing fanfare for the first sealord?

[lirbugler]

@vaiol123 The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines. IMO The best military band in the world!

[Atholldein]

6:42 Mass Band - By the Centre - Quick March - Excellent !!

[victortico1]

Excellent! All Scots should be proud and keep this pride and honor in the 21st Century. God bless the spirit of these pipes.

Excelente apresentação. É de arrepiar.

ADSUMUS

[hitan45]

Awesome

[lhr1967]

SPLENDID

[PUCCINIMUSICK]

All the glory and splendour of the Scottish Army. The most exciting moment of the entire Tattoo. I will never forget 1993, the last time that all the 7 Scottish Regiments were on parade together along with all the Regimental bands. That was a glorious - albeit sad - moment, just prior the first amalgamation.

The Scottish regiments are, along with the Guards, the diamond head of the Crown's Army! And their musics are the best

[chewie211171]

@PUCCINIMUSICK you are so right. I was lucky to see the Tatoo in 2010; the massed pipes and drums are hard to beat

[bgrant64]

How did you get this with out the commentary? Wonderful post thank you!!!

[pillepalle4711]

I agree, its a great selection. The only I miss is a list of the tunes, please!

[Syllogism89]

Music: Cullen Bay, The Heroes of Kohima, Mhairi's Wedding, Dewar's Spirit of the Tattoo, The Minstrel Boy, When You and I Were Young Maggie, The New Rigged Ship, Fear a Bhata, Jimmy Tweedie's Sea Legs, Hoist The Anchor, Jog Ahoy.
