Every morning in Ottowa the Canadians do the change of the guard. It's a British thing that they still do, and probable do better then the Brits.

  • A relic of empire indeed, one of the things that make Canada great

  • just enjoy the fucking show

  • I just love all the comment by all the people that know, and the cadence what are you talking about, marching off theHill there is a break from slow time into quick time, it is executed a particular way. Having been part of this Ceremony for the past 12 years and having done the same thing in London with the British Guards, the Guard Mounting Ceremony on Parliment Hill is very good, the Band of the Ceremonial Gaurd is every bit as good as any Guards Band in the UK.

  • @MrAgent003 ONly our goverment i agree they should ban seal hunt

  • @emptyangel It's the cadence, Left, Left, Left Right Left, that's all it is. Most militaries use that in a military band

  • You sir are a complete ignorant fool. You have no idea of what is the seal hunt and probably rely only one biased information to base your critisism. The truth is that seal hunting is an integral part of Canada's inuit culture. You americans are no better so before attacking others you should look at yourself first.Also, I would strongly suggest that you get your facts right before passing any kind of judgment on something that some people rely on for their subsistance.

  • The only thing I hate is the 3 beat bass drum throughout most of the music they play.

    Makes them sound German.

  • For part time this is good---probably music-wise its up to professional standard since they are music students after all.

    Parade wise they can't be faulted since they've probably never been told past the basics.

  • We only do the taps out of tradition. Our drill is among the best in the country, I'm sure a bunch of university music students are able to keep in step for 8 paces :D
