i was in the Grenadier Guards for four years and i'll be honest theres nothing better than marching down the mall to the band playing. best time of my life.
I'm a member of the 2379 Royal Hamilton Light Infantry: Royal Canadian Army Cadets, we had our annual parade on Friday and we marched onto the grounds with this march.
What I find interesting is the difference in tone between British marches and American ones. I remember when I was with the Marine Band out of 29 Palms, we got to play with a British military band. Our director told us we should sound more mellow and reserved, like the Brits. When we got the chance to mingle with their band after the gig, their director had told them that they need to sound more bright and lively, like the Marines:) I think that is an interesting cultural difference.
i heard this song when i was in royal canadian sea cadets they played heart of oak this song brings memories im joining the royal canadian navy we sing god saves the queen here in canada canada is part of the british common wealth canada loves the u.k
@magyk595 Note the similiiarity in style to Washington Grays by Graffulla. I believe it is also in the same key. Its a real ball buster of a march and gives cornets and euphs a chance to show off. I love it!
@findthebeautyinyou yes that is true ( for air cadets right?) although I play trumpet

I have always thought this march was called 'The Thin Red Line'. Am I right or wrong?

A march I actually like a lot. I remember this in 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

Will be attending a wedding , and the family is really odd. Perhaps this tune for the Bridal March would be more fitting.
