sounds very good,not as harsh sounding as most wind bands
-
Yes, all Warrant Officers wear a sword on parade.
-
The side drummer, Band Sergeant Major Warrant Officer Class 2 Peter McErlean, is wearing a sword because of his rank, not because of said tradition.
What you say only applies to drummers (as in members of a Corps of Drums), who are actual soldiers unlike bandsmen who are musicians first and soldiers second.
-
The drummer is wearing a sword because he is the Band Sergeant Major. No Tradition of wearing a sword Lord barry.
-
@TheLordbarry yes....tradition....the drummers were the only musicians who used to go into battle in the very old days....they would beat the advance, drums of war and the retreat as well as bugle it. They also carried a sword to fight when they reached the enemy.
-
Is the snare drummer wearing a sword?
-
The staging is because they were on the Alan Titchmarsh show, and space was limited.
-
looking forward to seeing this band live next week in edinburgh

I had the pleasure of seeing them two years ago in Newark, NJ during their USA tour. Excellent in every respect. I equally enjoyed the Band of the Scots Guards this past January. Thanks for posting this video. It presents the band in a unique setting.

Nice stage, only a 25 piece Guards band. Sadly this could be considered the average for many concerts now.
