PICK THAT "F*****G DRUM UP YOU 'ORRIBLE LITTLE MAN"

@mrtreebus Next question:- The last man in line to turn behind our drummer friend also seems to be lacking a musical instrument, he just seems to be having a good look around. Is he there to make up the numbers or could there be a bugle hanging behind his right arm?

@mrtreebus Thank you for your fast response, and your compliment. Yes that's him, I googled his name and rank then brought up images.. I would never have recognized him from under the bear skin but the row of 5 medals are exactly the same. He doesn't look like he's got grey hair. lol

The neutral slow march is "Nairac, GC" by Stuart Watts and John Lewis. It's very beautiful.

nice shot nice band
About 2 or 3 men in front of our drummer friend there is what appears to be a very well built officer with a sword but no musical instrument. I have noticed him before in other videos marching along The Mall with the band.. Anybody know what purpose he is serving?

@MrGoldsable mmmmmmmmmm?
Good one , He is a Major of the Scots Guards , they do have officers in the mass bands and most are flautist's however I also can't see an instrument, so this would lead me to believe it is the Director of Music: Major Douglas Robertson. Well spotted ;-)
