What's the name of the first march played in this video?

[troopingadmin]

@ThaMahstah The march is a new one called 'Provectus ut vir' (Advance as heroes) and was written by WO2 Greg Machin, who is Bandmaster of the Band of the Coldstream Guards. It won The Major General's competition for a new march and was therefore played on Trooping the Colour in 2010 as the March Off.

Hi Terry Troopingadmin its Retrofan here again I now have all the Music used to March back to the Palace what do you think of the BBC showing the Trooping live on the Red Button Continuously without Hugh Edwards nagging Commentary I think this should have been used in the past but was only Put into use this year

Many thanks

@retrofan1 Yes, I thought it was a very good idea but sometimes it is also useful to have some background information too.

@Ed4RMAS Ed, In 2011 there are at least 3 Foot Guards' Rehearsals (called 'Guard Mount from Horse Guards Parade'). They start around 9.45am on Tues 17th, Thurs 19th and Mon 23rd. I will only be at 23rd. I think that there may also be a mounted rehearsal on Wed 25th. Also Tue 24th there is a State Visit from USA at Buckingham Palace but I think that security may mean that the view will be restricted.

@troopingadmin Do you know which date this will takes place this year Terry? Would be very keen to go down to see it?! Assuming you will be there too to video?!

@pethayoo1 I agree. The red button should be the one which has the inane commentary. I 'Sky+d' the parade but, unfortunately, it's the 'normal version' with Hugh Edwards et al talking a load of rubbish over the marches.

this march is great

@retrofan1 If only I had known about the red button this year too. The BBC's presentation is now like watching the six o'clock news with constant interviews and interruptions,the whole of the troop in quick time was not shown. Who wants to see Hugh Edwards parading himself down a line of troops or Clare Balding talking to a horse ? We know we have to pay their huge salaries but why can't they keep their huge mouths shut so we can enjoy the parade.
