    All concerts should have at least a few minutes of funny entertainment no matter how “serious” the show may be. This was amazing. Not because of how they played or what they played. It because it put a smile on the audience (including myself watching on UA-cam) and you can even see the band also having a smile in their faces.
    To smile is one of the real good few reasons we all have to keep on our lives no matter how bad the day is.
    Thank you all.
    Cheers

    When I was a serving Royal in the 70s the RM band was all male and a much more formal marching band as opposed to a full fat orchestral style band. I’m proud to say that, although excellent in my day, these guys are even better. The ladies in the band bring a whole new dimension and the extended range of instruments, vocals and repertoire along with humour like this piece make this about the most entertaining all round band I’ve seen. The visuals and uniforms, the movement of the drummers/buglers just top it all off.
    Brilliant. So proud of you.

    In the military, in each branch, there is a school for musicians. After basic training, if they are selected, they go to learn how to play different instruments, sing, and other things. All they do is play music throughout their career. They do concerts, special programs, parades, etc. They get promoted in rank, just like others. But, they are still know how to fight.

In times of war they are used to act at medics/stretcher bearers and guard HQ type establishments. However, they are to date the only UK military band to have conducted UN operations as a stand alone force.

      ​@@mtnairpilot Adding to the "experience" theme, back in the 80's one of our vehicle mechanics (A Private) was sent to temporarily serve with US Forces. He said that he was surprised to find that one guy's job was tyres (tires, for the Americans) and that was it. He was instantly promoted to Sergeant (a jump of 3 ranks) when the US found out that he could actually service the entire vehicle.

    The quality of the musicianship is extraordinary, these folks would be an asset to any major orchestra. I don't like "brass bands," but to my complete surprise, I didn't miss the strings at all.
