Great video! The Massed Bands sounded amazing! Great to "Trafalgar"! My favorite!! The marches played were, 1) 0:34-The Mountbatten March 2) 4:13-HM Jollies 3) 8:38-Trafalgar 4) 12:36-Glorious Victory

Being in a position of neutrality (happily extending equal love to the Massed Bands of the Marines and the Guards), I am in a safe position to compare the 2022 Beating Retreats, or at least their March-ons and March-offs. And? This was one thrilled and moved me the more of the two. (where "thrilled and moved" can be considered to boil down about 6 different quality factors). Maybe this one was less flashy ... but that is what I need right now. They just do the job ... and are what they are supposed to be! Bring on 2023 (God willing) for the "re-match"... (In any case, given the terrible cuts to the British bands in recent years, we take what we get and thank God for it) And, since we are bringing God into it (now for the third time), MILITARY bands should not really be a source of uplifting, heartwarming joy, should they? The Russian Zorya in Red Square had about as much joy in it as a squashed hedgehog on a road ... even before "all that" started. But our brave lads and lasses have it, playing ... have always had it. If anybody wants to account for that difference, I would be thrilled to hear where you think it comes from... Long may they continue to have it. In these horrible times, we offer thanks and blessings to ONE AND ALL...

Ah, the Corps Drum Major Dave Dawson from the 1980's. Yes, he was an immaculate and competent Drum Major who was held in high regard throughout the Corps. The person holding that appointment nowadays is Corps Drum Major Chris Mace. You can see him leading the Massed Bands in the above video and he reminds me of Dave Dawson. Very similar in the way he marches and is also always immaculate and has a superb "Military Bearing"

Am I unusual that I like to hear the band in the far distance getting louder and loader as they approach until they're are almost deafening as they draw level then slowly fade unto the distance. I try to replicate this with the volume control but it isn't the same as being there. This is the best military band none BTW.

@sidpheasant7585 Жыл бұрын

By my standards, nothing unusual at all. I've loved that sensation since I was 4. And it works with grand and lively tunes, but also with sad ones - as at Her Late Majesty's funeral. See and feel what happens as the bands approached, playing - again and again - those same few tunes of gravitas and depth and love. The Massed Bands are a mobile, history-delivering, mood-changing, spirit-raising unit, and there's NOTHING quite like that. But... watch the massed bands of Russia in Red Square, and you will see ... something very impressive, musically-pretty-gifted and so on... but they lack what the lads and lasses we see above offer us. Explain that as you will, but I think to be honest we know the ultimate source of the differences, and of what we feel! Let's put it this way - bombast is neither the aim nor the consequence of what we see above, or of what we saw as the bands took the Queen's body on its last journey.
