played this with a high school and college combined band and the low brass part after the trio first time was the most glorious thing i've actually ever heard
@@ethanfletcher2333 1. You would be doing a simplified version 2. My sea cadets taught me this when I was 10, and that this version, not a simplified one
I heard this march a lot at parade marching band competitions when I was a youth. Never played it myself though. Sadly, at a parade comp you only ever heard the first 2 minutes (up to about the first phrase of the trio), because that's how long it took to march the length of the competition area.
I believe it is the Welsh Guards. They had a recording on UA-cam with their name attached, but then they pulled it. However, I recognize the sound of the euphonium player in the second strain, and also the dignified tempo at which they perform this march.
Our Community Band is playing this march. Great Piece 1 Once I learn how to play it! The trio and the "dogfight" have great tuba parts ! Reminded me of a Karl King march as he wrote beautiful/ Baritone horn/Euphonium parts as well.
another great "stately slow tempo" ..... probably about 100 beats / paces to the minute ...... better than something played fast and furious, almost having to run when marching fast. SuperNutkin
@861Sailor I play Baritone so normally I always look forward to getting to the Trio in a march as then I don't have to go up and down the scales at a rate of knots :p
Jonathan Titterton ever play the maple city on baritone? we go back and forth between trumpets and low brass with almost no rests. about 16 8th rest and they're all before the trio then the grandioso sounds amazing. great song though
Red plumes are the Coldstream guards, they're likely forming the massed bands there with the 5 guards bands for the queens birthday parade or some other special occasion.
Apart from this march, the Army of the Nile has virtually vanished from history. It was the Army that later became the 8th Army when the British started giving Armies numbers and not names (always river names BTW).
Not quite Lawrence of Arabia, but for general Richard O' Connor. Kenneth Alford composed this march for the British Western Desert Force (O'connor's command) after their victory with Operation Compass late 1940 ~ early 1941
The British bands have a sound of their own.
Cornets as well as trumpets. And this is a very "dry" recording, with no reverb.
Begging your pardon, but there is a small amount. However, as you say, it is a rather dry recording.
It's almost like you can hear their overbite through their embouchure
Same with the Commonwealth countries. I still remember this from my school days in Malaya (Malaysia).
And they are trying to destroy this ,

Me, who had played tuba for 13 years before doing this piece senior year of college: yeah I couldn’t play that lol
it's the dynamics that made this march so awesome....
Loved this march, especially being a cornet player at the time. The "bugle" counterpoint in the trio was when we could let go!
My favourite part!
It's pure joy playing this on the marching drum!
Splendid!!! This is my favourite version of this great march! I really love it! Perfect tempo
We're learning this song for marching band next year. I play flute and it's definitely a challenge
Arianna Ramirez This was our competition march my freshman year of high school...1975. 😍 Thousand Oaks, CA. I was a flute player too. 😃😃😃
Kasey Tegner Oh my god, my name is Kacey and I'm a freshman playing this song on flute for a marching competition in Santa Clara woah
Kasey Tegner next week though!
Bro i am playing this for 8th grade band and its easy

I recall one group carried a couple of black powder muskets, which they would fire off on the downbeat of the intro. Impressive.
One of my favorite marches to ever play. Love its dynamics. I mean its not Stars and Stripes Forever but it certainly is a hoot.
Best march ever written!
S u p e r ! Love the dynamics and tempo.
I remember playing this in my senior year of high school.
One of the great marches...
Beautiful march ...tqvm frm S'pore
I concur on the Euph part. The tubs part rocks too!!
💯 Agree 😃
It certainly is the Welsh Guards. Played exactly at the right tempo with their usual poise and superb playing. Lovely euph. and high woodwind.
Lovely euph except for 0:49 lol

Brilliant comment if I may say so.
Beautifully conducted, played and recorded. Regardless of genre, this is one of the best recordings I can think of... wow.
The best....Hard to beat...Thank you
the clarinets on this song is hard
Do I know you? You seem familiar 🤔
but theyre not the melody :(((
Are they ever easy?! 😂

@John Tabuteau It's closer to 112 bpm, but yes it's much more than 100.
I remember playing this with the 1st Inf Div Band at Ft. Riley, KS. Good memories. I played piccolo.

Nathan Harman can’t find that song anywhere, but I loved it in Kingston

Now this is music 👌
It sounds like a boss theme and i like it
I love the Eurphonium in this march. =)
Blue plumes are the Irish Guards, red plumes are the Coldstream Guards.
I LOVE to play this with my tuba then I can play along with it and will not screw up
Our band is playing this
Right on 💂🏽

shout out to all my percussionists out there
Hello :-)
I suck but Im here :)
Nice music
Great!
Baritone players.? Beautiful march.
Yes, this march is indeed a beautiful march.
This was my old marchband song in 2000. My freshmanyear HS.
+Ture Imani Oh really? That's really cool!
🖊️describe the vibe
Okay. What does it mean when there are blue and red plumes? See photo that pops up at 2:40.
The flute part is hard to play. but in practising it . been 4 days straight
Ture Imani I'm in the same exact situation a year later, and I'm a freshman as well lmao
Any other snares here?
i can't hear the cymbals
Blue plumes mean Irish Guards
:38
So this is British Army march ? I thought it was French Army~~~ , because they played this song back in "2014 France National Day parade".
British, Kenneth j. Alford, who also did eagle squadron march and i think voice of the guns
Nope, British.
Now I know Thanks
TC Hsiung I've seen it played at MCRD San Diego by the USMC Band also.
Well i played percussion in the band. My gal she plays a skin flute pretty well
Steven Alizzi oh, dear.
Lawrence of Arabia anyone ?
Not quite Lawrence of Arabia, but for general Richard O' Connor. Kenneth Alford composed this march for the British Western Desert Force (O'connor's command) after their victory with Operation Compass late 1940 ~ early 1941
sorry, but the Norwegian drill and guard is superior ;)
It’s obvious you know cloud cuckoo land very well.
The primary role of the British Guards Regiments are as infantry men not Palace Guards like the Norwerian Paace Guard.
