@@thomaselkington6008 I wasn't in the drill platoon, but one of the guard companies. Still we had to rehearse for parades and marching too, relentlessly. Our officers would nit pick on every single detail again and again and again from morning to evening until you almost went insane. Then again it resulted in us become as good as we did. I remember Queen Elisabeth coming on a state visit to Oslo and we were the honorary parade company :)
@@feonor26 Oh wow that's so cool! I'm actually a drum major for a military youth cadet marching band and i am probably a little bit like your former officers (hence why I was intrigued by them clearing the spit valves), but eventually when it all comes together so brilliantly all that effort is definitely paid off. And I'm also jealous of the fact you paraded in front of HM Queen Elizabeth you lucky sod!
Who is the Drum Major ? ......this guy has style +++ if only the camera man could stay focused on him long enough to see him break into his dashing cadence with his Baton in march step dance. Is he still leading this wonderful Kongs Band.
@@wickelderkin4264 He's the band platoon leader, not bandmaster or conductor. He'll be responsible for much of the drill and physical exercise as well as other things along with other officers. The second in command second lieutenant will also be leading parades and drills sometimes. I happen to know this particular guy, as he held a different position when I served in this company 12 years ago.
Anyone know why the tuba, trombone, french hirn and trumplet players ready their instruments and look down to the right?
it was to get the spit / condensation out
@@larseliasrnneberg6477 ah I love how perfect they do it I see other bands just do it all out of sync and lazily
@@thomaselkington6008 yeah everything need to be on point, it is a part of being best, every small details matters

British army could learn from them how to march.
Tøft.
很可惜，表演中時，儀隊及樂隊皆精神煥發，整齊劃一，退場時，則未能再整旗畫一的離場。
