Cornets as well as trumpets. And this is a very "dry" recording, with no reverb.

Begging your pardon, but there is a small amount. However, as you say, it is a rather dry recording.

I heard this march a lot at parade marching band competitions when I was a youth. Never played it myself though. Sadly, at a parade comp you only ever heard the first 2 minutes (up to about the first phrase of the trio), because that's how long it took to march the length of the competition area.

@T_Mo271 3 жыл бұрын

I recall one group carried a couple of black powder muskets, which they would fire off on the downbeat of the intro. Impressive.

Jonathan Titterton ever play the maple city on baritone? we go back and forth between trumpets and low brass with almost no rests. about 16 8th rest and they're all before the trio then the grandioso sounds amazing. great song though

I believe it is the Welsh Guards. They had a recording on KZfaq with their name attached, but then they pulled it. However, I recognize the sound of the euphonium player in the second strain, and also the dignified tempo at which they perform this march.

There is a reason why they have their horns angled this way - its standard procedure. Have you ever been directly in front a cornet player who is marching and playing as loud as he can with his horn directed towards your ears? Trust me, its not very pleasant. You can't exactly tell them to play "softer" either, after all - it is marching band. Holding the horn this way also helps them with seeing their music.

@jonathantitterton9455 10 жыл бұрын

also I play with a Brass Band which on occasions March (mainly the large Durham Miners Gala as we're a colliery band) with a Baritone (which I play) it's easier to hold at that angle due to the strain it gives on your lower back if you try and stand up straight with such a heavy instrument.

Apart from this march, the Army of the Nile has virtually vanished from history. It was the Army that later became the 8th Army when the British started giving Armies numbers and not names (always river names BTW).
