As a Londoner with most of childhood in the West End and St James, I can always say that I loved to see the five Drum Majors of the Footguards in their 1650s State Dress of gold embroidered coats and aprons with the sunlight on them and the maces. Also I loved to see the Royal Marine Drum Majors with the drums positioned in pole position leading the band. This Guards Band is about 250 strong. Very nice to see.
I do say, Robert, that I am rather envious of your privilege to live in a great metropolis where such pomp and ceremony are common. I'm a displaced British citizen of 60 years in the US, well, at least that's how I refer to myself. What a thrill it must be for them to entertain thousands, wearing the red tunic and bearskin and performing in one of the greatest military ensembles ever assembled.
As Canadian I got to see massed bands of the Guard division doing beat of retreat with my mom. Also as ex Highlander with 48 th in Toronto. We used to have tattoo' day of warriors parade.1 yr Brits send both massed bands to the tattoo. See football filled pipes and drums and military band from all over the world was awesome
Drum Majors seen leading The Massed Bands: - DMaj S. Fitzgerald, CG - DMaj A. Crew, 1st Bn WG - SDMaj WO2 D. P. Thomas, GG - DMaj J. Barker, GG - DMaj H. Sutton, 1st Bn GG
Brings back many memories from when i was a child growing up in England, my father was in the British army for 30 years and myself and my brothers saw these events quite often.
How I envy your childhood, Roger! To witness such pomp and ceremony must have been exciting. You Brits are unmatched by any other military ensembles. Our military bands in the US are like high school marching bands in comparison.
I'm ex bandied my being in Boys brigade in my youth we were good not as good as those lot and the marines. We win few competitions over they years and won same 1 5 times in a row lol
It "Normandy Veterans March" composed by C. North. It is a lively march that celebrates victorious young soldiers after liberating the European mainland. Could you imagine the band of HM Grenadier Guards blasting this on the streets of Paris in 1944? This has become one of my all-time favorite marches.

@@normankitching6372 Hi Norman, had to skip this year due to some health issues on my part this time. But to make up for lost time I'll be in London for a few days in October and next year again at the Trooping. How are you?
@@Kuiper3282 Hi Mart, sorry to hear of your health problems, hope things a fine now. I am still going back and forth to hospitals....mainly for scans and check ups! I look forward to see your videos again....we had a great time at the Colonels review this year. Keep safe.
Holy shit those drum majors are out of sync. The one on the very left of the band is the only one remaining in time with the rest of the band. Sack the other 4. Get the Garrison Sergeant Major on them.
@@peterfradley697 I salute you for your service, Peter! What a thrill it must have been to wear the red tunic and bearskin in one of the finest armies in the world! I wish I could have claimed British citizenship to enable my enlisting to serve as a musician in HM Grenadier Guards or Royal Marines. God save the Queen! May our union between the UK and the US remain strong!
I feel sorry for shift workers trying to get some sleep during the day, living in one of those horrendously expensive apartments along the route of these "Musical Hoons" including rehearsals weeks before the actual event. Can't they just march and play only under that balcony, increasingly overloaded with members of the Royal Family ? I guess another reason for "Brexit" might be escaping European Union Laws regulating such noise pollution. I guess most of these dressed up guys are only volunteering to avoid mowing the lawn at home and performing other household chores listed up by nagging wives.
@@bobawolf Really ... All the way down in Australia ? I thought we had our own here ? At least they won't disturb shift workers. That is, our soldiers ...
@@thies7831 How many shift workers do you think live in those horrendously expensive apartments? I would suggest none, because shift workers wouldn't be able to afford them. Do you practise being so negative or does it come natural to you.
@@hughfranklin4002 No stress. It is natural. You are not very fair minded. Has it ever dawned on you, that some people love to live in such horrendously expensive apartments and to afford one of them, take up well paid night shift work, in the worst scenario even as prostitutes with these horrendously expensive apartments being used as under cover brothels ? Would you enjoy having your business disrupted by noisy marching bands ? Just to give you another example: Currently the Australian Football League is warning fans attending top grade Aussie Rules Games to keep the noise levels down or else they will be evicted from the stadiums. I guess it is implimented to prevent claims for hearing defects and nerve erosion. Time for the UK to catch up and reconsider the wellbeing of their citizens.

@@sirvincent7263 As an ex-pat I can testify to that.
Brits are the best at this.
Yes sir I salute u sir
Much as an Aussie I have to say that nobody can slap on the pomp and pagentry half as well as the poms

And another Aussie (who served) agrees
Louder boys so the ozzie can hear lol. Stunning is all I can say.
Would not worry me being woken up by them

When does this happen? Which month. How do you get tickets for this?
June, and it's free for the march to Horse Guards Parade. Sadly not this year with covid
What is the opening March called? Brilliant!
It's called "Brass buttons"
@@MrTrapdrummer Sorry, it's Scarlett and Gold.
Zena, you are absolutely right, and I stand corrected. I must be losing it!...
@@MrTrapdrummer Not at all. I had to ask on another vid, and its John, cant seem to get my own account.
Mooie opname, helaas kon ik er dit jaar niet zijn.Maar dit maakt t een beetje goed.

The dressing of the drum majors is shocking
and the center one can´t march in time, how is that possible?
They're good. However not sharp as the DDR parade march.
Drum majors need extra drill
sack the center drum major..... can´t march in time...amazingly bad.
None of them are exactly in time. Extra drills.
Why are you being so negative?
Looks more like he has a wooden leg. He might be a ampuety victim... to me his left leg seems off in moving. his right is in time tho.
I've often noticed that the audio and video are not always in sync on UA-cam so it could be the case here.
Garrison Sergeant Major LONDIST needs to get a grip of these Drum Majors. They are awful. Apart from these jokers, nice music . 👏
i wouldnt let my best friend scott mackenzie hear you say that as he is a fine drum major
You want to try doing their job you'd fail every time
