Windsor. Tuesday the 28th of April. Changing of the Guard. I must confess that I didn't know what to expect from the 2nd Battalion The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment Corps of Drums, but I had a most pleasant time watching them parade and playing nice music. This is a group of proud and elegant soldiers marching and playing with great dignity and they deserve our respect and gratitude. They have mine already.

  • Thanks for the comments Gentleman, as for expanding our repertoire we are constantly trying to add new Music, but as im sure you know it takes time. We currently have 25 Different Pieces that we can play, all by memory, all without Music Parts.

    We are not a Band as drummajor2000 has called us. We are a Corps of Drums which im sure you are aware means none of us are Musicians, we are Infantry Soldiers and in particular members of the Fire Support Platoon. Best Regards Drum Major 2PWRR

  • @wildcard8844 Sir, it's an honor to have you commenting my video. Keep up your remarkable work.

  • Thanks, Will, I still have a last video to upload. It was a fruitful visit to Windsor this time.

    Concerning the music corps I must add that I had to edit the video to squeeze it inside the Youtube limitations and because not all the images were good enough for uploading, but they played about four or five different marches. Besides, as far as I know they are not professional musicians and play by memory, without music card, which makes their effort even more admirable.

see all

  • Fabulous and inspiring what a corps to follow into battle !

  • This is a great Corp of Drums, I would of given my back teeth to have this many flute players. They must be well supported by the Bn, Adjt and CO.

    Well played I would of Marched the Gurads to all yhe way back to camp with Farmers Boy/SOTQ

  • @wildcard8844 I enjoy a Corps of Drums filled by Infanteers as much as I enjoy a professional band filled with army musicians...perhaps more so as the corps of drums is doing two jobs, and if your fire support platoon is as efficient as the corps of drums is, 2PWRR is well served. I wish we had corps of drums here in the Canadian Army. Never saw any when I served.

    Cheers...

  • @mattycfoy

    Woah I wasn't being rude or taking the piss.

    Please calm down.

  • @emptyangel

  • It always seems to me like they're playing the same stuff all the time, it all sounds the same when they play? Not just here.
