BRAVO! As a former U.S. Army Bandsman (1968-1971) this was particularly enjoyable on a Saturday morning. So many complex drum cadences, precision marching and musicianship. Thank you.
@@BernardBouchard-qq9kq You may have seen a combined (Composite) Band. I had friends who were assigned to the (¿NATO?) U.S. Army HQ Band in Germany who tell of big parades with several Armored and Infantry Division Bands (~50 each in those days) plus the big HQ Band. My only traveling as a U. S. Army Bandsman was Barstow, CA, the former Republic of Vietnam and Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
Spiffing video as always Sir! Most enjoyable! I loved seeing all the different Bands. I was happy that the USA was represented, although the joy sort of went away once I saw the Drum Majors style! I honestly don't understand why the US Drum Majors never know how to swing their arms nor maces! Just my own personal opinion. But, nevertheless that didn't take away from the Spiffing video. Many Thanks for this series MBE!
@@Princeton5 Can't really remember, you might be right. It's been years since i last saw the movie. Think i might look it up again since the movie is actually free to watch here on YT.
@@Tunerbill When I served as a US Army Bandsman with the 433d Army Band, a high ranking officer requested that our front rank trombone players coordinate their slides to look more "military." Had I been our CO, I would have ordered 5 valve trombones! (Alas, I was merely the bass drum & oboist, with a clarinet MOS.)

@@Princeton5 In the beginning of that movie you also see bands marching from different countries.
@@Milan74 ah yes I remember seeing that bit but were they not just playing their countries anthem raising the flag instead of marching?

@@Milan74 although I do remember at the end there was a scene with nations marching playing music
Do you know what the trombone-like instrument in the first rank of the Swedish band is? It is different than the ones in the back.
It is a valve trombone. Literally a trombone with valves instead of a slide. The 3 valves are rotary instead of piston valves.
@@Tunerbillit is also probably different because the Swedes are a mounted band and thus need to be able to play one-handedly while on horseback.
