- Bands marching to and returning from this years Military Musical Spectacular: Orb & Spectre, on 6th July 2023. Drum Majors in state dress as the Princess Royal was taking the salute.
Also features several clips from the performance itself, however as these were taken from outside the performance area they are not the best I'm afraid.
As seems normal nowadays the bands did not play on the return to Wellington barracks.

@@militarybandsuk I know right!!! 😂 😂
Good morning Delvin from sunny Cornwall. Hope your well. Many thanks for your continuing information👍. A quick question: are the musical instruments protected in some way from the rain, eg.waxed or coated in some way? Not raining in this one but what if……? Best wishes. Dorald 👍👍👍
Thank you once again. 👍
@@doraldeddy1836 Hello Dorald! Nice to see you in the comments once more! I'm doing great! Hope all is well! To answer your question, No the instruments aren't coated or specialized for inclement weather. They're off the shelve instruments. This is the reason that the musicians in the Woodwind sections of the Bands usually cover their Clarinets and Flutes from the weather. They usually stick the Clarinets or flutes up their tunic sleeves or simply put them under their arms. Hope this helps!
Just brilliant I feel so proud of our armed forces and what our great country stands for regards kevin😊
What a wonderful sight …Thank you Mrboton 74….This is lovely to see……The late Queen would be proud….I know I am.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Listening to this for the umpteenth time and wonderful every time. Beautiful music and marching, thank you 😊
48:00 Senior Drum Major Gareth Chambers no-nonsense fall-out ..."Up ,Down, Away..Cheers" Love it
Drum major Gareth Chambers is my favourite Dm ❤
Fantastic video. Fantastic Band. Fantastic music. Me personally, I don't like it when these magnificent bands play pop music. I had some friends went to the O & S show & they didn't particularly like the music of the beetles & queen being played. Like me they wanted to hear military music played by military bands. Even so what excellent musicians they all are.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Love military bands excellent,horses,guards fantastic .thankyou for the video
Lovely music. I repeatedly play this video over and over. I especially like the last rendition. I can't get it off my mind
Brilliant! Love military music! So fantastic Pipes and Drums as well Perfect!
Bonsoir monsieur. Quel plaisir que j'ai eu de revenir voir ce magnifique spectacle cette année surtout avec la présence de la Princesse Anne, SUPERBE !!!
I'm glad that it was worth coming over to the UK for and that you enjoyed it. 👍
Beautiful video, superbe quality although very difficult filming conditions also for the sound. All the troops are excellent, bands play to the perfection. It was really 50 minutes of pleasure to watch this video. Thank you so much.
When the Guards are on Parade is my favourite
good camera work, thanks thanks
I think they are awesome (the band).
Love the bass trombones!!
Thanks for all the videos.
Amazing professionals!
Princess ANN is there as usual doing her part….The hardest worker in the Royal family .but very little recognition..not as if she would want it…She takes after her late mother.
@vickyRoyalHistory I’m so sorry, I posted my reply to the wrong person!! I hope I can change it to where it should be!! I blame the error on old age😎😎
The Princess Royal is Anne with an e! My older sister always got very upset when the e was left off her name, just like Anne of Green Gables. From that history I learnt from a young age and have become pedantic about whether the name is with an e or without!! 😊
@vickyRoyalHistory in future I will blame errors on the computer…better than admitting old age!! 😎😂
Wonderful, thank you MrBaton. Very interesting beat to Guards Silent Division 39:34!
Thank you.
Kia Ora Everyone From New Zealand ,,, An Exceptional Video .... I Still Look At Minor Details Of The Two UK Police Men .... Still Keep In Step With The "Massed Bands" ... This is one of Many Scenes After A March Off .... You Never See ....
Hey, there, Mr. Baton74! You’ve gotten a post leveled at my heart. I do so appreciate what you put up. I spent years hoping to perfect parade marching in the high school students under my baton. By the way, I must be Mr. Baton73, not to be rude or presumptuous. I thank you for what you’re doing for us yanks.
you're welcome.
Anyone else wondering about the trombone player with the sword and gold cuffs, I spent some time looking and he's a Warrant Officer. Hopefully a British bandsman can chime in on the specifics.
Great music and horses.//😅
The guards are so smart, love the marching. they look so proud.
Bravo Bravisimo Military Muzical
There is nothing like a British Military Band! The yanks can't come close even at there very best. I am an Aussie and proud of it.
Nonsense. The greatest military band on earth is the United States Marine Band (The President's Own).
LILPUTIANS!!!
LILPUTIANS!!!
Hello from Germany. Great musicians. What is the name of the march 37/38 minutes?..
When the Guards are on Parade
FunFact: The lead gun of the Royal Horse Artillery is regarded as the 'Colour' of the troop and is saluted as such by officer's in charge of other troops passing it.
It's too bad the band doesn't play on their return to barracks...they play so beautifully.
Fantastic take off. Saw a change of guards the other day and those guys need practice. If their sergeant major sees it he'll be horrified. I love marching bands and these guys are professional and spectacular at it. Big, big kudos.
Who are the 5 leading the band and what is the significance of their uniforms?
Hello!
The men leading the Massed Bands are the Drum Majors. They are wearing the State Dress which is made out of real gold. They only wear these coats when a member of the Royal Family is present or when given permission. These State Coats date back to the late 17th century in their original design. The main change has been the Monarchs Cypher, which changes every time there's a new monarch. The Drum Major in the Centre is the Senior Drum Major of the Household Division (WO2) G. Chambers MVO. The the rest are, Assistant Senior Drum Major (WO2) S. Fitzgerald, Drum Major S. Laing, Drum Major C. Rees, and Drum Major M. Beasley. The Drum Majors themselves aren't part of the Bands as they come from the Regimental Corps of Drums from each regiments 1st Battalion, So they have to enlist as soldiers first then join the Battalion Corps of Drums and become Drummers. The musicians in the Bands join the Royal Military School of Music and then go through Military training. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if something doesn't quite make sense!
@@delvinrodriguez3341 Thankyou Delvin for the explanation of formal dress and military service. The band members sometime serve a long time before playing in the bands. They are not carrying rank and medals for just playing great music. Regards from London, Ontario, CANADA
@@philwilson Hello, happy to provide the information! Yes, Musicians have served in combat. But it's not very common. As I've stated they enlist as Musicians first then go through Military training. But, I'm sure there's been Musicians who've joined the Royal Corps of Army Music after enlisting. Musicians serve as Combat medics, stretcherbearers, and currently as chemical, biological, and nuclear decontamination units. Many Musicians have served in the Falklands and Afghanistan and many more deployments.
@@delvinrodriguez3341 Yes Delvin, thankyou for the further explanation. I knew that, but I was only trying to confirm what you were saying. There was a great documentary about service in the Guards bands. A lance sergeant enlisted to play in the band, he had 10 years regular service, before he became a band member.
@@philwilson No worries Sir! Many thanks! Apologies for the misunderstanding!

What is the command that soldier gives at the beginning of the parade? All I could make out is First squad
Massed bands and pipes "shun’ (Attention), …. Band ready, instruments raised. Massed band and pipes .. by the centre quick march .
The massed bands do a remarkable job of reforming their ranks, starting at 35:35.
❤WOW❤,
Can you tell me please what do the blue or red features mean in the busbies .
They indicate the different regiments. White plume is Grenadiers, Red plume is Coldstream, No plume is Scots, Blue plume is Irish and White and Green plume is the Welsh.
@@MrBaton74The Grenadiers have a red plume on left side a senior regiment being right of the line. The Coldstream have red also but on right side as second senior being left of the line. The Sots no plume as they would be centre of the line. The Irish Guards formed after Boar War & Welsh Guards during WW1.
The regiments of Foot Guards wear bearskins not buddies. Bearskins are a different shape to busbies.
That was meant to read busbies.
The foot guards regiments regimental bands
At.7.42, the senior DM salutes to the right - anyone know why?
I believe he salutes the Flanders Fields Memorial, he can also be seen saluting the Guards Memorial at 36:55 on the return.
@@MrBaton74 I think you're right - never noticed before. TX
@@MrBaton74 I've had a look on Google Earth - that tallies. Just never noticed it before.
May relate to The Guards Chapel. WW2 there was heavy loss of life when a bomb hit during a service.
Fantastico
