British military bands are the best in the world. Very professional and impressive. From an old soldier, on Armistice Day 2018. New Zealand. November 11 .

John Clark agreed!

The first march "army of the Nile" is my favourite by far !

The Drum solo is either stirling castle drum solo or Portsmouth No13 drum solo.

There appear to be 2 drummers in the front rank 2 from each end that have red drum tops, does this signify anything please?

[@callumblair7773]

Dean Snarey they're high tension drums, often used for the drum statics in their displays
