@samt0448 You talking about the two end drummers leaving there sticks up when the rest had dropped them? Thats the only mistake made that i can see.

Outstanding!!! What can one say? - "The best of the best". RM Band - always a treat both visually and to the ear.

That parade square, as you called it, is known as the helipad. It was originally the floor of an old covered slipway where ships were built. It burnt down during the 1960s and nothing else was built there. In 2009 it was used for the drumhead service during the Armed Forces Day ceremony. I couldn't get into that, but I have uploaded some video of the RM Band arriving.

@kmb2271 There was more to the ceremony, including the Duke of Yorks military school marching band and the City of Rochester Pipe Band. I also filmed the Drumhead service at Rochester Castle earlier that day. Maybe I'll upload them at a later date. Thanks for the comment.
