Arméns Trumkår Utmarsch 2008-12-26 The Swedish Royal Army Drum Corps, Kapten Tommy Törner

[zordja]

it's a melancholy melody of old.

i wonder how the composer felt when he made it.

[sachsejong]

This is the right ammount of drummers!

[charbis40]

mybe because they are disbaning that unit they play the rouges march. sad isnt it.

[Mikeuk181]

Before it was used in the British Army it was a dance tune called "Jamaica" and it is believed to date back to Shakespeare's time.

[Mikeuk181]

In England that tune was known as "The Rogue's March" and was only played when men were drummed out of the army in disgrace! Perhaps it has different connotations in Sweden?

[FillFighter]

We call it that too, but i sweden its just a song that we play. Very few people know its meaning.
