[semlansemlan2]

Please listen too this! This sound in a wind band I like - you don´t miss the strings!

The Swedish national wind band plays "Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral" The Swedish national wind band plays "Mälardrottningen"

The Swedish national wind band plays "Admiral Stosch"

Conductor: Nils-Gunnar Burlin

The Salvation Army is a religious denomination...all churches are charities.

[trapezemusic]

A fine band which for the past few years has been playing an arrangement of Onward Christian Soldiers that is far inferior to the arrangement previously played at this event. What a waste of talent. I would always wait to hear them. As of last year I had enough and no linger bother. This video confirms that they are sticking with this poor arrangement and that I didn't miss a thing. Bring back the previous arrangement asap.

[B3rling0]

Real music.

[Sharod101]

they shouldn't be aiming their horns down (trumpets and trombones) but i wish i saw the parade.

[Jonnieweller]

you're not allowed to talk...they're cornets

[jethromayham]

What battle group are they may I ask? Are they Scots by chance but I don't see bagpipes, my favorite!

[G3or631]

its the salvation army, a charity

[lilfoolio22]

@G3or631 a charity AND a church

The one thing I don't miss about this parade: the parade uniforms. Definitely not made for rain.

[oldbuckshot]

OOOOOOOOOHH THAT MAKES ME HORNY!!!

[elpepezorro]

lol

[WireGreasingHero]

well I guess they aren't shooting one another while performing this lame ass crap. So it's all good right!

[masterjoram23]

One of my favorite marching band

[Kchanilla]

Onward christian Soldiers!! ..gotta love a great played brass!

[saxmastergq]

must be hell for the tubas

[mdrocklee]

Yeah a sousaphone would be so much easier,HANDS DOWN.

[sabombardonist]

Considering that I marched this parade back in 2006 (with my tuba), I actually prefer the tuba to the sousaphone. The leather back strap is much more comfortable than any sousa.

[TheBandCritic]

This is an awesome band. I talked to some of you guys at pre-parade on the FreeWay exit. Awesome personalities.

[indyw]

Some of the participants were from the UK - we don't use the marching band instruments over here - we use the concert ones.

Go Cardiff Canton!

[phesoj41]

why do they have concert instruments

[emptyangel]

Since the Salvation Army was founded in the UK, they're a proper brass band.

Meaning they are no 'weird' instruments like the sousaphone and the contrabass bugle.

[NiklasSD]

Yup - they play with beautyful instruments.

[edieb1935]

Beautiful music, correct???
