I also should have added a great video with excellent sound, great close ups of individual band membesr and wide angle shots - a real treat to watch. Looking forward to seeing more.
John Milliken Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed the video. The Royal Gun Salute that took place in Cardiff this morning with the Royal Welsh Band is currently uploading!
Many years ago my husband and I had the privilege of entertaining some of the chaps from the RE band. Firstly true, they drank the mess dry, secondly they had to perform infront of the townhall in viersen germany. They left our house at 7:30 got changed then went straight to perform at 9am. You would never had known how much alcohol they have consumed they were as straight as a dye. Alan the master never once dropped his stick.
The Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers . Our Often forgotten and Praiseworthy sappers who perform at our ceremonials. No passing out Parade would be the same without them. Facebook Group for all Royal Engineers who did there training with 1 Training Regiment at Southwood camp, Cove, Farnborough. facebook.com/groups/942857262404728/.
Band does a fine job. Thanks for posting. I wish there were more spectators. How often does an event like this take place in this town/city? Was it properly promoted? Shouldn't this attract attention from the more residents?
trapezemusic there is an annual Gurkha freedom parade (videos on my channel) in Brecon and it was publisiced quite freequently online! It was in the Easter holidays so some children came to see the parade but as it was a weekday many people were in work. I am glad you enjoyed the video though!
Military Bands Everywhere, you should definetly make a date in your planner, sunday 18th june 2017 for the Weymouth And Portland Armed Forces Celebration,
Fabulous Band with a Service History of 160+ Years to the British Army. Saw them at The Buxton Tattoo in 2013. Their service record or musical skills, did not save them as those "Clowns" at CAMUS, decided they were no longer needed and disbanded them in 2018. The rule in the Ministry of Defence, seems to be "if it is any good get rid of it".
Great job Sir. Marvellous video and audio quality. How the heck do you keep track of what;s going on where? Seemed to going on everywhere at the same time. And so many of them !!! Good work.
Sure was an event. I have never been to anything other than Windsor and the stuff you visit is MONSTER by comparison. Takes a lot of effort I have no doubt. Doing a good job old chap !
It takes a lot of time finding out about the events, all of the bands Facebook pages are good places to find information as well websites such as Imms UK. Thank you one again!
I did not know that That is so sad My father was a Sapper for a long time I grew up in the REs Its odd how the Guards keep there Bands and a RE & RA lose there Bands due to amalgamation
@@Jeffybonbon Yes, take a look on the Corps of Army Music website, it explains it a lot clearer and all of the other almagamations that have taken place in the last month. Its is a sad time for the army bands, however, perhaps good that there will be less bands but those of more capability and more personnel? Probably down to Recruitment and that of music education cuts too, but that's a while new debate really! I hope I could have helped anyway.
Every time a new piece of music is played, the caption tells you what it is. The music selection is: Out of Africa Ashokan Farewell God Save the Queen Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau Vimmy Ridge Sarafand
All the British military bands seem to have been cut in half from what they were in the 60s and 70s. If you remember seeing the Corps of Royal Engineers Band at the 50th Anniversary of the D Day landings, it looked to be 3 times the size of this band. The reduced military is just a reflection of how Britain regards itself in the 21st Century.

The RE Band is half the size it was in the 1970s
And now sadly since the start of Seprember, it has combined with what was The Royal Artillery Band to create The British Army Band Tidworth.

There was two RE Bands one at Aldershot and one at Chatham what a dam shame so much for end of cut backs but thanks for the update
@@Jeffybonbon guards didn’t keep them more they just detached them from regiments and the guards needs musicians re doesn’t
Where would one get a list of songs that are being played?
Every time a new piece of music is played, the caption tells you what it is.
The music selection is:
Out of Africa
Ashokan Farewell
God Save the Queen
Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau
Vimmy Ridge
Sarafand
Ubique ..REspect
I like how the conductor has a sword and spurs, in case he has to stab someone then ride off, or whatever.
When the band of the Corps of Royal Engineers is reduced to about 20 people it shows the world be no longer have an army. Shame.

Your so right I would say a third of the size in 1970s and I think the sappers had two bands at one time
I would have got that bloke to move
HORAW SAPPER ,CHIMO
