For anyone who is wondering, the arrangement they are playing was written by Gustav Holst himself. He wrote it a few years after he finished the orchestra suite. He also transcribed Mars as well for wind band.
@valeriekings3901 very possible, Holst and couple students did make an arrangement that's in the same keys as the video so it could be eaither one but really there's no way of knowing which one.
I have to say that normally, hearing this piece gives me nightmares. I did the Patterson arrangement years ago in high school and this key is just so much better to listen to. Holst’s arrangement is better to the ear but reading it as the musician is another matter. This is a very nice performance.

Who's the arranger of this piece?
I believe it is the arrangement by Merlin Patterson.
Arr: James Curnow
