That's a great video. You were in exactly the right positions to get the RHA going into their gallop, the Mounted Band and the mass bands 'booting' out Arnhem. thank you so much for posting.
Many thanks for the comment James! I'm glad that my planning paid off, that the effort was appreciated, and that the result was enjoyable. I did watch other people's videos of an earlier rehearsal to try to estimate where to be for particular activities, for example where each of the renditions of "Arnhem" would start being played.
I’m a bit late watching this but better late than never😊It’s a great video filmed by someone who knows a thing or two about these things! I’m not sure that there can be a finer sight and sound than the massed bands, you can understand why the Drum Majors look so supremely proud when leading them, it must be a sound like no other to them. I love Paddy McGinty’s Goat, such a smashing jaunty march that allows a bit of the fabled swagger😎 Arnhem on the other hand has a more serious tone and certain sections seem to fit in with the idea that the guards are marching with determination, making their inexorable advance to their goal. Think I should stop now🤭 Thanks again Mike for this splendid video👍
I'm over in Maine, USA, and I really appreciate watching these videos. In my younger days, I attended Norwich University, which our country's oldest private military college, and I played baritone horn and trombone in our Regimental Band. I really appreciate seeing the bandsmen.
@@briannicholas2757 Hello Brian, thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I used to play euphonium, which is probably the same instrument as what is often called "baritone" or "baritone horn" in the USA. In the UK there is also an instrument we call the baritone, which is also in B-flat, but has a smaller bore than the euphonium. I think that that is often called a "tenor horn" in the USA.
