Notice the different drill style of the Canadian gunners at the lead of this video. Canadians march with their (much longer) weapons in the "shoulder arms" position ... default tucked into the right armpit. Canadians have not laid their rifles on the shoulders British style since the advent of the semi automatic FN rifle back in the 1960s. Other than that, Canadians follow British drill for the most part.
@@fasteddie406 Nope. It's no problem at all. Done it for hours and it's comfortable ((changing sides from time-to-time, of course) You firmly grip the rifle at the grip. The hand grip is behind the magazine so there is nothing to get in the way (Weirdly, the current British infantry rifle as the magazine BEHIND the grip. How the hell do they hold those to shoot with the magazine pushing on your hand?) Anyway, this is not a new idea and Canadians have been marching like that since about 1960. ua-cam.com/video/ofW5c8d-dh0/v-deo.html Historically, that is the way Brown Bess muskets were carried for over a hundred years ... just like that sans the hand grip and inside the left armpit, not the right as default.
@@abrahamdozer6273 Rifle has a short stock so still held in same way as it fits into shoulder well, and left hand under barrel. In fact the mag been so far back means you are better position firing in the prone as it is directly under your elbow arch.
@@abrahamdozer6273 5.56 rather than the 7.62 of the SLR so less stopping power and the original version was not squaddie proof(easy to break) but in Northern Ireland on patrol it was far easier to work with, entering buildings/vehicles etc without getting caught on door or curtains as you swing round,plus the strap system meant hands free so good when reading documents/I.D.s you could rest it down your hip. Newer version with upgrades I have not used but is meant to be far improved.
the first march is invercargill there is a march they sometimes play called westward winds which is a march one of their trombone players wrote but its not in this video

0:11 that's a proper "about turn". the american version looks like a ballroom dance floor pirouette. i cringed when i first saw it as i thought the soldier was making fun of the drill instructor and it was a disciplinary offence
Look at that big beautiful blue sky! Just beautiful
Rare in the uk. Video might be fake
love it bygraves such a treasured childhood song
The first group was Royal Canadian Horse Artillery from Shilo, Mb.
With the world’s tallest drum major.
An honour to have them here.
Wonderful , never forget these are the men who would take a bullet for us.

Must be difficult to march at shoulder arms, the movement of hip right against the rifle could knock it loose.

Great to hear the march Invercargill.
I always thought every band starts in slow time when leaving the palace gates and then into quick time 🤔
Invercargill is a nice sounding march!
Superb.
Marches:
Invercagill
Trafalgar
Senior Drum major Gareth chambers leading the band of the Coldstream guards.
Are you sure that the first march is called Westering Winds? I can't find it on UA-cam :(
@@leonardwaga not completely sure, but i think so.
the first march is invercargill
there is a march they sometimes play called westward winds which is a march one of their trombone players wrote but its not in this video
considering the heat, I am genuinely surprised nobody fainted, lol
It’s a dream of mine to go witness this in person one day. ❤️🇺🇸
What was the point of the “🇺🇸”
@@Themapleleaforever uh that’s where I’m from, and showing some love from the US.

Notice that the canadian trumpeters actually play trumpets, whereas the english ones play cornets.

Sounds like the beginning of the Monty Python show. Half expected the big foot to come down.
