    Played by HM Royal Marines Band through the streets of Glasgow
    The “Colonel Bogey March” is a popular march that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881-1945) (pen name Kenneth J. Alford), a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth.

Later, as a Cadet - and still later ; while serving for over 23 years in the Army - AND EVEN NOW as a 'retired Major', i whistle this tune whenever i have a long walk....... Can only add that i have a 35 years long association with THIS 'tune' - and it is almost a part of my life.

    This march was the theme tune in the movie, "Bridge on the River Kwai" the memorable movie made by the Famed Director David Lean. He was also the director of "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Dr. Zhivago." The march is known as "Colonel Bogey March."

    I recognize the song and to see not only a band marching to the music but also everyone involved, powerful! I enjoyed watching the march. I move my screen up so I just see the legs and feet and these young men know how to do it. Thanks for the music, thanks for allowing me to see and hear music from another part of the world. I live in Peoria, Arizona. The internet has really opened a new door to quality entertainment. Thanks to all who put this together to bring it to the world. Very well done! - Dennis Zinke

    • @commanderstraker1082

      Those are baritones, not euphoniums.

    • @Matuku35
      @Matuku35 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Could only see one euphonium, no baritones. The bell is too broad for a Baritone, and the fully compensating tubes of the eupho are clearly visible. Also in 4.34 to 4.41 you can see the middle finger of the left hand is held over the fourth valve, which is also only in a euphonium. Sometimes Americans call Eupho's as Baritones. If you look up the original brass band music that part was written for Euphoniums, and in some places the 1st baritone plays along with the eupho, In military bands the tenor sax also plays much of the counter-melody.

    • @rikardflemstrom1348
      @rikardflemstrom1348 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Les Sweetman You are very right Sir! 4th valve and Compensation is only available on Euphonium!
