Wir waren schon öfter in England auf Urlaub und konnten uns auch einmal die Guards qnsehen. Sie leisten alle großartige Arbeit. Danke, dass sie die tollen Videos mit uns teilen. Liebe Grüße aus Österreich 😊
The band does a great job entertaining the Guards on parade. Can be very monotonous going through the inspections and other preparations for a parade. The marching display is also 'top notch' - the crowds keep coming to watch.
@vickyRoyalHistory The reason why the band plays during the ceremony is to ‘entertain the troops’, that’s the overall mission of a military band. Yes, when they are playing statics on the circle at Wellington barracks or on the forecourt, they are entertaining the crowds behind the railings at the same time, but they are actually playing for the troops on duty. This is most evident at St James’ Palace as they even turn around to face the King’s Guard and not the crowds opposite the road.
May I ask a question regarding the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace & St James's today, 21/1/2024? Two bands were involved as far as I could see, the Grenadiers & Scots Guards. However, both bands were lead by Drum Majors wearing Welsh Guards bearskins - do regiments have more than one individual capable of taking the role of Drum Major? Many thanks in advance.
What is the black cover(?) being carried by the Guardsman at the back of the band? Is it for the colour following behind? And why the massive difference in plume sizes between the various bands? Thanks in advance!
The black cover is the case for the colour and carried by the duty drummer from the mounting regiment. If it rains, this cover is placed over the colour to protect it. Plume size difference is unique to the regiment the soldier’s role. For example, All grenadiers have thin horse hair white plumes, often hidden in their bearskins. The Coldstream Guards and Irish Guards have larger ‘fluffy’ plumes for Colour Sergeants and Warrant Officers. They also allowed the various ranks of the band to also wear them as they are seen as ‘regimental staff’ and appointments (musns) to the headquarters. Anyone with an appointment can also be seen wearing these plumes such as a regimental Drum Major etc. The Welsh Guards also followed this tradition in the main until last year (2023) when they changed it to allow their band to also wear them to follow the pattern of the Coldstream and Irish Guards more closely. I hope this helps.

@vickyRoyalHistory Yes, and that’s exactly right!!

@@MilitaryBandsEverywhere Fabulous! Many thanks, so now I know. All the best, keep up great work!
How many kilometers / miles is that parade? I remember early morning winter ceremonies as a U.S. Army Bandsman 1968-1971. Frozen fingers in F Major!
@donalddodson7365. Less than a mile I believe. Thank you for your service. I can’t imagine marching or doing anything outside in these temps😮
@@charlottecunningham2141 That's why I marched with a bass drum, instead of my oboe or clarinet. 😊
