The best marching band in the world, superb !
They are pretty good but not a patch on the light division band which was before the rifles were formed that dominated army music from the late 70s through to the mid 90s. Cuts to army music numbers is mainly to blame and not the rifles fault. Still good to hear though
I think my badge says it all, the finest bands in the world were the Light Division made up of us, the RGJ and the other lot, the LI. I was not a bandsman though I did spend a week with 1 RGJ's band in Hong Kong following a conversation with WO1 BM David Little, some old 1 RGJ bandmen might remember me banging away on the cymbols !! So pleased to see that the Rifles adopted the colours, the marching speed and music of the od Lt Div. Keep going guys until the next round of cuts.
love the Rifles band and bugles been there done that 2RGJ Bugles and the Light Div band
Fantastic, my great great grandfather was Bandmaster for 2nd Battalion KSLI before moving to the Royal Irish (Ulster) Rifles.
So many questions. I thought the Rifles didn't slow march? What do the larger plumes signify? Senior Warrant Officers? How cool would it be to live in one of those houses across the road!?
Larger plumes designate rank, Bugle Major , Band Sgt Major, Band Master & DOM.
Superb ! Surely the best sounding military music in the world, and one of the best bands ! Thank you very much for your high quality videos, allowing us to enjoy these moments, as I have never had the opportunity (yet…) of seeing them live… Thanks again.
Thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate it! I am glad I can bring you some of the best moments of military music in the U.K. over the last few years and you’ve been able to enjoy them, hopefully you’ll get to experience them live and in person someday, it’ll create some special memories I’m sure!!
I served in the 3rd battalion Royal Green Jackets band for 9 years from 1975 to 1984 and loved every moment and the bandmaster was Mr John Seddon any former band members please reply.
Three thumbs down. Give ya heed a wobble... can't touch the band & bugles they're mint .... Father was a bugler DLI & 3LI huge part of my life.. still love the sounds and spectacle...
Great to watch very professional
Nice vid i have missed the sound if the bugles and rifles
Yes, it is a unique sound that fortunately will be kept in the new band restructure!
At the beginning was the director of music allowing you to stand next to him or something?
Yes the bandmaster was allowing me to get a more central view.
Sambre eat Meuse - He He a typo me thinks - Brilliant performance
Since no has asked yet what’s the historical significance behind quick march?
Hi Scott, that’s a great question! The Rifles motto is ‘Swift and Bold’ and they are part of the Light Infantry, so if you know anything about them you would probably have a good idea.
I’ve found this article that explains very well about the differences in marching tempo’s for different bands and regiments of the British Army. I hope this helps answer your question! ☺️

The light infantry had to move quickly around the battlefield hence the 140 steps a minute rather than the standard 120 of the regular infantry.
Wonderful display, thoroughly enjoyed all your efforts. Well done. Wow, just got my favourite Zorba...tks.
Nice update of musical repertoire and no Zorba
But I liked Zorba!
Miss the regiment
No bro would say, once a soldier, always a soldier.
Why do I feel like I've seen this before
What March is 8:39 called
Let Regiment Sambre et Muse.
@@MilitaryBandsEverywhere thxs
omg they want to go home soon so fast lol
Quite the loud and explosive entrance..
Coldstreamer18 The opening March - called, I think, Geordie - features the tunes Blaydon Races and Keep Your Feet Still Geordie Lad. A fine tribute to one of the constituent former regiments, The Durham Light Infantry, but I am biased being a former Dirty Little Imp (geddit?)
Coldstreamer18 Also the DLI double March The Keel Row
(in a good way)
