Guards Pirates of Caribbean

[airsoftcalamity]

i dont think they do your tolking about the british army here!

[zinnoy]

at 1:04 the guard just walks away like, 'no shit on me!'

[chubbsmcgee2413]

its not as f they will carry round cellos violins and other orchestral instruments around with them

[footballXcrazyX2012]

ok, it sounds like this cuz look they have french horns right there the sound is all right there thats all they here! its not they it sucks it just where the dude was filming it. the horns are amazing players but i guess they are just playing really really loud. anyway, if you wanna see a marching band do this right. look up Hilliard Bradley Marching Band 2011's show its this stuff. they are freaking amazing band they have a states final video up on here

[Graham1912]

Pride of Ballinran

/watch?v=E9mrz0yVL5s&feature=r­elated

Marching Band playing outdoors, Also play it 10x better indoor

[demesucks]

You see this happens all the time in england

[martytruscott13]

LOL i thought jack sparrow would coming from behind but no :(

[lostinhertravel]

shit hot SG till i die



[laiz171]

It would be funnier if Prince Harry came out in a Jack Sparrow costume

[IFrancyISantosI]

so they played it in front of the buckingham palace... thats probably the greatest honor for a componist like hans zimmer

[John3Sobieski]

In person, it would have been tremendous. I blame the poor quality of recording equipment.

[usamaabdelsalam1985]

we have in Egypt similar some thing like that ... it is the military music ... it is part of the army forces ... they play National Anthem and many of Egyptian Revolution songs at the important Occasions and the important foot ball matches .

[parcourkid]

@usamaabdelsalam1985 They're ceremonial bands, take part in ajor parades etc just like yours, but now and again they like to have abit of fun

[usamaabdelsalam1985]

احنا بردو عندنا فى مصر حاجة اسمها الموسيقات العسكرية ... بس بصراحة مش بالشياكة دى .. و بيعزفوا النشيد الوطنى و السلام الجمهورى فى مباريات الكرة المهمة ...

[97anonymus]

seriusly, guards or not, they play well, but I think the song has some mistakes :(

[GeckoLycan]

@97anonymus Remember, they are soldiers first and foremost

[missjazzb]

oh how i miss London

[purplestuff33]

@MrVeryMad sorry bout the m.

[purplestuff33]

@MrVeryBad ROFL! I can totally see that happening.

[geilersimon]

I love these soldiers <3

[leomatiko]

You have to give them some credit, they played it without any strings and to play POTC theme you need strings. But this is still cool.

[DeadLegaciesUK]

this is why we need to bring back bands on battlefields lol how scared would you be when the english come charging at you to the tune of potc

[livetocomment1114]

What they should play when they sounded invasions

[PenisWurst030]

LMAO those videos of the guards are having the best comments!

[IcomeIviewIcomment]

What if... Lord Cutler Beckett became king...

He would so totally have the guards play this song while hanging dead pirates around the building as a warning

[1441010]

@pyro999maniac is exactly right no strings and next the horns would give an odd sound.

[Victini02]

so damn proud to be british :)

[ceimo856]

The ending was a good laugh. A way off pitch trumpet. NIce....NOT

[pyro999maniac]

you are right behind the horn line....that'll be why. plus this is being played in a brass only arrangement...no strings

[Alternativemusic213]

this is so ironic.

[foodmore]

its probably you are standing just in front of the bell of the french horns. the sound would probably be different if you were standing in front of the band.

[little9764]

they arent the senior infantry regiment at all. the princess of wales' royal regiment is. battle of tangiers 1662.

[alexakapimpshoes]

:O I hear no dynamics whatsoever -.-"

[MrJamjunk]

LOL : The Queen´s Gallery and Shop !

[ViDeOMaStErPaUl]

The only reason they sound bad is a mix of the camera quality and the camera is next to the brass section so you don't get it all.

Any other video you can hear it all and they are the best.

[merobots]

"It just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!"

That high school orchestra might sound better if they lay down their lives every single day to protect their country in foreign nations instead of insulting the musical talent of men who are worth more than you will ever be in your entire life.

[9hello123]

@merobots No one should be exempt from criticism no matter how much of a good person they are. I think they're good, but if someone thinks they are bad they have every right to say it.

As soon as anyone becomes exempt from criticism is as soon as someone has absolute power.

[xylaphonemaster]

"it just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!", maybe a few might, but let's see how well they do with a fucking rifle and a load of Taliban that need shooting.

[ALBIBISBIS]

@xylaphonemaster

I think that the level has gone down in these last years and they play like shit !

[shinymcshineshine]

These vids are good, but never show the full effect of brass instruments. Heard this live and it's amazing.

[ourownjennings]

THIS IS THE TALE OF CAPITAIN JACK SPARROW!

[MrVeryMad]

Window breaks, Queen Comes rushing out Break dancing.

[johnnybabes2003]

may i ask is this the irish guards playing

[Kominek93]

Brzmi, jak orkiestra OSP... Orkiestra Kompanii Reprezentacyjnej Wojska Polskiego brzmi milion razy lepiej :P

[halfcolours]

you only think a highschool band sounds better because you filmed this with a digimon...

[artacania]

why is the queen gone !! oh sorry i mean rum ...

[TheLooneyArmy]

GoldenLioness100: Good point, didn't think of that.

[MermaidJess22]

*Reads Sign*

See, even the queen loves a little shop, just like The Doctor.

[GoldenLioness100]

@MermaidJess22 Gotta have a little shop so you can, you know, shop. ;D

[MermaidJess22]

@GoldenLioness100 heheheh

[TheLooneyArmy]

ojdeagu: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that the bands in the Army and the Guard are a cultural and symbolic thing, but originally weren't their original purpose to fight and keep their respective countries?

[TheLooneyArmy]

The band in my year can play equal to this. I'm in 7. Why can't the guards just stick to guarding? 

[ojideagu]

@TheLooneyArmy Because Marching Bands are part of the Army and Royal Guard. They

are a very important symbol and cultural thing.

[GoldenLioness100]

@TheLooneyArmy Please remember this is a full orchestral piece and they are playing with only brass instruments. They are also outside, so the acoustics are different to playing inside.

[temporaldisplacement]

@TheLooneyArmy They are not in fact guards, they are operational soldiers back from tour (warfare).

[Undergottensnotten]

@temporaldisplacement

They're the Foot Guards, the senior infantry regiments of the British Army.

[zacks1314]

epicness beyond words.

[AiBhai]

dude i would have loved to be there

these guys are now my heroes for playing that song

when i join the marines i am going to rock out to this song evry time i can right before i go on a mission

[TeamRedRaccoonDog]

Needs more cowbell.

[Reaprar]

"it just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!"

Well.. that would be because it's an ORCHESTRA and not a marching band.

For fuck sakes.

[TheRhinehart86]

I wonder how much money was spent training this band so it could play this and Imperial march, British taxes being put to awesome use.

[Thesixthgoon]

@TheRhinehart86 It *is* awesome isn't!

[yumyum078]

This is not an orchestra! There is another vid on here where they are playing this song whilst "beating retreat" and it's awsome.

[bjcsupertortoise]

This is a marching band, NOT an orchestra, so both will sound different. This band will obviously be better than a school orchestra and to think otherwise would be quite stupid...

[pogolizard]

@bjcsupertortoise Aye, this is a song in need of a serious strings department if ever I heard one.

[jdi0093113]

@pogolizard considering its a brass band

[FIMOE123]

i wish my 8am alarm clock was this

[EnglishKNIGHT100]

@RDDesign1989 HAZZAH back at you buddy, pip pip and tally ho

[philwild14]

This is actually epic



[We22u]

you try playing wearing that outfit, being watched by hundereds with a dead bear on your head, all the while with the Queen of england next door, bollocks to your does high school orchestra play better

[peuterschmidt]

@We22u: Queen of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland

[joehoe223]

Always knew that the Royal family was a bunch of Pirates:P

[Jam971]

"it just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!" But can a high school orchestra play it whilst moving? ;)

[TarEldamir]

@Jam971 I heard they do this better in Finland.

[stealth1692]

@TarEldamir well 1 there not using string instruments 2nd RULE BRITANNIA

[Azog150]

@Jam971

And are high school orchestras trained infantry soliders who serve on the frontlines?

[Jam971]

@Azog150 So your saying all trained soldiers can play instruments on the move? Its not just discipline or being forced to that drives them to do it, its the skill required and the effort they put into it to get a finished product, A high school orchestra could do the same IF they could be bothered to put in the immense amount of practise, they just wouldn't have to do the PT on the side as well.

[Worldscollide666]

God save the Queen!

[merobots]

BOOM the window explodes outward and Queen Elizabeth II swings out on a rop and grappels to the ground where Prince Charles explodes out of another window and they have an epic sword duel .

"This is the day you almost got the throne you old fart."

[JamieWoW1]

@merobots You Old Fart hahahaha

[RedEmeraldDragon]

@merobots LMAO win!

[gloryglorybarcelona]

@merobots - copied from another video of royal guards playing pirates of the caribbean

[jordangoddard10]

@merobots you legend hahaha

[cimmeriabastardsword]

@merobots haha! I actually visualize them fight each other till a climatic finale!

[GhibliOriginals]

@merobots laughed so haaaard :' )

[Xiarn]

Who was the one of the greatest pirate? Sir Francis Drake? Thanks to Queen Elisabeth I. :)

[1971ojoalparche1971]

I think Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II should come out and do some swordplay as they play this.

[Jarl1994]

i watched the imperial march before this one, and I found it quite ironic to play an imperial march in front of buckingham palace :')

[tatetalk]

'Hurrah for Old Nosey

[XDlolzilla]

lol

this is so awesome

[oJKBo]

why do they play random songs?

[joetheking78]

@oJKBo Do they need a reason ?

[oJKBo]

@joetheking78 yes...?

[markrennie6]

the guards could fart this better than any high school band let alone play it a million times better. that is all.

[nayF007]

God Shave the Queen

[Falli2006]

Wonderfull

[Carfer22]

They are probably the best in the world. The Canadians are a close second though.

[MioRaem]

Wh... whhh... wheresss the RUM????

[sedgie09]

and if only now Jack Sparrow shows up.

[matthewthecoolkid]

@b0redouttamymind It's just you, Buckingham Palace Life Gaurds band are world renowned for being some of the greatest. Just saying...:)

[MarioJoens]

And the Queen dancing with it....xD

[RiflemanMoore]

"it just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!"

It's you and the poor quality of the sound recording kit on your camera.

[ZzdeathangelzZ]

Uploader is anti british obviously.

[ironhidewatson]

Remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Elizabeth the 2nd ;)

[JulieBElectroPirate]

Elizabeth Swann more like ;)

[CAOSERcaoser]

@b0redouttamywind

it just me? or *does a high school orchestra play better?!

i think that they played it like this so that you could march to it .... its their style (cover xD)

[worldwanderer91]

Pirates pwn british redcoats anyday. "You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Cáptain Jack Sparrow!"

[EnglishKNIGHT100]

RULE BRITANNIA, AND GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

[surefiremaul]

IS it just me or is b0redouttamymind a retard

[monkeyboy1423]

@decaalv Those weren't pirates; they were privateers.

[LonewolfSaichi]

AWESOME!!!!!

[Mitrosh]

to all of you who say its horrible performed.. you can't hear all the instruments because of the filmers position... if he would have stood in front of them , better sound..

[1TechMechanic]

@decaalv the quality of the recording is shit i was there when they did all these songs and trust me it gave me goosbumps they are awsome!!! truely go see them and make your own judgment because untill youve seen them you dont know what we are on about

[Schwarzschildradiuz]

01:03 "I'm tired of this shit!"

[CHRIS90ANDES]

The British Army or Marines are the most strict, most respected and the most disciplined military i have ever seen.

Trust me, i can tell since i've lived in the UK.

I love it out there!

[barricader6]

@decaalv Britain.

[DanteLecore]

oh man wdf is happening here whya re they playing my song XD DONT CALL FOR ME QUEEN IM BUSY DRINKING RUM!!!!!!!!

[gonzasabbath]

Neat performance.

[gallai1]

oh....thats horribly performed.

[Dreadfultime]

it sound like a papayera

[ironhidewatson]

let this be known as the day you almost caught captain elizabeth the 2nd ..........on camera

[silentj005]

the 16 people who didnt like this are now dead

[ddd7052]

that was really clean 

[Pigeonzbomb12]

The British must love our movies.

[bookercreator]

@Pigeonzbomb12 no, but i love movies from the united kingdom more than our own

[XxGREATxBRITAINxX]

@Pigeonzbomb12

Your movies... made about us (Y)

[mf4251]

The ghost of Dennis Brain lives inside the horn player closest the camera!

[Hawkeye323232]

@decaalv not entirely, if the worked for the british then they were called 'privateers' but yes they were very much pirates who specificly targeted french and spanish vessels.

[triangleshapedcheese]

ahh the days when we ruled the carribean

[barricader6]

@triangleshapedcheese At least about 50% of the countries in the carribean still have the Queen as Head of State.

[ImpactCross]

I like the new arrangement, it had a different feel from the movie version.

[emptyangel]

I hope this last closing statement will make people think twice about passing judgement and deter any wise guy from doing so as well.

The bands of HM Foot Guards don't come close to being compared with American type school bands. Unlike school students, they're all professional and double on two to three instruments.

They also serve as soldiers, second to being musicians, and are trained to handle Nuclear, Biological and Chemical decontamination.

[emptyangel]

I grow weary of the types who come in here and claim that their school band 'beats' everyone else's and is 'better' than all the professional musicians, bands, ensembles and orchestras of the world.

Simple logic dictates that a bunch of teenagers simply cannot be compared to trained veteran professionals.

[charliechanga654]

@emptyangel i completely agree with you

[briertheshire]

ive heard the household cavalry play this retereat and i can guarantee you it sounds absolutely amazing im sure the camera does not capture the sound the way it actually is this is a pure class tune, please support our lads, they are doing a hugely great job and dont just do ceremonial duties, they put their lives on the line for our country and deserve our respect !

[TheTakechito]

é brasileiro q tava filmando? eu ouvi um ''eu to filmando' XD

LoL

[sourj234]

The red coats are coming, the redcoats are coming!

[hildegarde07]

PORT ROYAL!

[clearairturbulance]

They probably fight better than the high school orchestra though! :P

[cdollcbec]

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll­ll

[BusinessIDBAI]

@decaalv

Some did, all nations employed privateers, be they Spanish, Dutch, French or English.

[SamAtSix]

@mhnoodles2 Its because your american and you have to put up being american, Which sucks im afraid.

[kulter20]

@mhnoodles2 No it isn't, can u play it better?

[MrStoney222]

@kulter20 accually yes, our middle school band played just as well as them.

[kulter20]

@MrStoney222 'as well as them.' Not better, so think before u write a comment. I mean with some drums and some clarinet's and a trombone you will come far (:

[emptyangel]

@MrStoney222

Doesn't say much when what you're really saying is that your middle school band sounds like as well as a shoddy recording taken from the back of a band.

[n9233f]

This was fairly well done. You got a whole bunch of french horn sound, but that's because they were pointed right at you. If you want it to sound like the movie soundtrack you need an orchestra, otherwise it sounds like this.

[XxAngeliniaxX]

omg wheres jack sparrow? ( and when did he turn british? 0.o)

[britishbulldog2008]

@XxAngeliniaxX jack sparrow is an english pirate.

DERRRRRRR!

[XxAngeliniaxX]

@britishbulldog2008 Thats the point I know hes English I was kidding when I asked When did he turn british DERRRRRRR!

[TheresAGhostInMyBeer]

@XxAngeliniaxX

Sparrow was English

He had a London accent mixed with the flare of those who had moved to the Caribbean

[FoxpawsSilvertongue]

@TheresAGhostInMyBeer Naah, Sparrow was an American doing an english accent from the region known only to Holywood as "Nearly London".

[rduffy338]

I have seen the changing of the guard and all of the bands that played played very well.. And they do sound much better than this in real life.. Just the bad recording quality..

[MrGezamo]

lol this is one of the reasons i love being british

[sabradan]

@decaalv Those would be Privateers. Pirates, by definition, work for, and honour, no government.

[K3nnyg22]

b0red, your right about that.

My high school played and marched this and we sounded way better. No offence to the British.

[GFPPgk007]

@K3nnyg22 Its probably the camera.

[FunmasterBob]

Also, its probably the fact that the location is way off centre outdoors.. These guys are professionals..

[stig781]

@K3nnyg22 Well of course that makes sense, amateur teenagers vs. professional military force. You managed to spell offence correctly for a change though. Good job.

[BFBCFTW]

Nice to see all these retards saying that they played better in primary school... 1. Its a crap recording. 2. they dont have any string instrments. 3. Its outside so there is bad acousitcs.

[haken1234]

@BFBCFTW exactly right XD

[AcAinslie]

@BFBCFTW Thank you 

[Stroz206]

@BFBCFTW

And, Holyfuck, you can't imagine what it is to be wearing that shit on a parade. You are not focused at all on anything else then the idea to removing it.

[LLCoolJoe806]

@The Description an orchestra contains strings so it'd sound different since this has no stringed instruments. This is very impressive because they sound very good and they did this song with only marching band instruments.

[libbybaloo]

Damn! Nine people were in fits of laughter that they're eyes watered and couldn't see the like button!

[Duncanov]

@libbybaloo

and you've missed the escape key. get the f&%k off youtube

[libbybaloo]

@Duncanov Excuse me? But who are you to tell me to get off youtube? ^_^ I'm having fun, unlike SOME people.

[lazarusdrake]

Yes, it's just you. If you listen carefully, they're doing a great job. The problem lies with the fact that it is played outside. Also, the recording isn't exactly top-notch, either

[lazarusdrake]

Yes, it's just you. If you listen carefully, they're doing a great job. The problem lies with the fact that it is played outside. Also, the recording isn't exactly top-notch, either

[DemocracyDefender]

@lazarusdrake

Also is it just me or do they not have all the instrutments

[emptyangel]

@DemocracyDefender

Open your eyes, every musician there is playing an instrument.

[DemocracyDefender]

@emptyangel

Not that I swear that an instructment that was used for the movie isnt being used here

[emptyangel]

@DemocracyDefender

Oh so that's what you meant! Well of course not, what do you expect, they're a military band on parade.
