Thank you Winnie for another fine March. Really enjoyed it! Thanks to the Brits who wrote it for our men, who help Britain out before and during the WWII.
I love the way the band leader leads his band out, such pride! Chest out! And the band respond by raising the roof, By the way, I have never seen the simbles struck so hard,👍,and the audience applauding graciously. Great stuff lads.
leopard and tiger skins worn by bass and tenor drummers have a practical use in protecting the uniforms from wear by the drums and damage to the buttons...the tradition is from the 18th century bands in England and Europe ,who employed coloured percussionists ,African basically,who wore exotic uniforms..............marty
It was a tradition that started around the 1700's for percussionists to wear tough exotic pelts on their front to protect their uniforms/buttons from any damage due to the sheer weight of the drum.
They are, it was the standard head dress for dress uniforms pre ww1 but because of the Great War they stopped full dress and only used the blues (the black dress uniform that most regiments wear) I really hope this sort of dress becomes the standard again.
they are called "home pattern " spiked helmets . made of cloth covered cork , they are quite different from pickelhauben .even in the US they were standard full dress headgear in the last couple of decades of the 1800,s

I would normally play Piccolo on Marching Band but occasionally got to play the cymbals. :-) My wife is on Piccolo.

No thoughts on whether it should be happening in the 21st century, then?
@@turnitback5243 it's a tradition that has survived the ages and I like it
These days they're synthetic anyways

Bravo Ƶulu, Adjutant General’s Corps Band.
Fantastic performance
What is the tradition and history of the leapard skin worn by the bass drummer?
It acts as an apron to protect the uniform of the bass drummer, but also to prevent the buttons from damaging the drum shell.
VERY impressive
FANTASTIC......KUDOS...BRAVO .
Where was this recorded?
Who tf added spaghetti or something in the orange thing
I submit that we use the Eagle Squadron March to replace Wild Blue Yonder!
It's a British military march, so that would be illegal and wouldn't make sense lmao
@@JordanBurnsWell it’s a British march meant to commemorate the USAF pilots who came to their aid for the Battle of Britain, so…
Could you tell me the tradition of the leopard skin worn by the bass drummer?

@Flexbase Berlin military music festival.
This may be the last march he wrote.
Yes it was. In 1942. A fitting final composition.
