Cannot have enough of it. Centuries of tradition.

Sadly this was likely the last tour of its kind put on by Columbia Artists. These British military band tours had began to great acclaim back in 1955. It seems appropriate that the Scots Guards Pipes & Drums should be the last as they were the first such tour back then with their regimental band. Can we ever hope to see such tours again? "Wil ye no com back agin"

They really came and showed off! God wish I was a Brit

We are so closely connected with our American cousins, and long may it continue. Many of you will know that it was a Scotsman, called Paul Davey Jones, who formed the U.S. Navy in the year 1775 (then called the Continental Navy). In the last century, we went through two World Wars together, fighting side by side, and I can't think of having a better allie than the U.S.A. Of course, not forgetting our Canadian, Australian and New Zealand cousins, all of whom made tremendous sacrifices in winning those wars. We owe a great debt of gratitude to all of those aforementioned nations. I should add that I am a Canadian, but born in Scotland. My father, born in Scotland in 1922, landed during the D Day Normandy landings, on Gold Beach, with the British Commandos, along with the Canadian Army, where they encountered heavy fighting and a great loss of life. That was perhaps the greatest allied invasion ever undertaken, all six beaches, involving all the allied nations. Heroes, every single one of them. For those interested, my father in joining the Commandos in Scotland had to pass a final selection test, of running along the pier in Greenock in full battle kit, and jumping into the deep ice cold water in a fast moving current. Those who could swim back to the shore, were selected, and those who didn't were picked up by row boats.

Total ambassadors to the UK BRILLIANT STUFF.....

I watched this combined bands' performance at Long Island University in January 2016. While I was using my iPhone to film the scene, the staff stopped me and informed me no recording allowed during the show. CAMI, Columbia Artists Management Inc., the tour managing company owns the copyrights of this show. Have not heard any British Military Bands scheduled any North American tour in the near future. Now with a new King in the Palace but I think CAMI not in business anymore.

Kenneth Sewell, I am fully aware of the responsibilities of the bands and guards. I was in England several years ago and had the opportunity, through the connections my host had with the military (he was a former RAF pilot and was, at the time, a senior member of the Metropolitan Police, commonly know as Scotland Yard.) to enjoy lunch with a member of one of the Royal Marines Band and a Grenadier Guard, who, at the time, was assigned as a guard at the Tower of London.

Nice to see members of the different forces standing. Shows respect. Take note...NFL players.

Beautiful and amazing performance overall, and there's something about bagpipes that just sings to my soul and I don't know why.

Easy to see why the Royals Marines band is considered the best! Take a look at the You Tube videos of the massed Royal Marines Band marching in London. Amazing.

It just go6 to show how pipes can blend with the big bands and also hold their own with any music , wonde6 to hear this so professionally played by all ,

It would be nice if the football players and cheerleaders would show as much respect as these veterans are showing by standing.

To not stand for your national anthem is a slap-in-the face to the thousands of soldiers, sailors, air force members , marines and yes merchant marine as well who gave their lives for your freedom. Those kneeling for the national anthem rather than standing might as be pissing on the graves of all veterans, because they show no respect whatsoever.

Many americans openly carry guns as their right to protect themselves against an opressive government, but you think kneeling is worse?

For the curious: 'Gillie Callum' (dance of war) was the tune for the sword dance followed by 'Bonnie Dundee' (march off).

Kneeling has always been a sign of reverence and respect.

There’s something deep, almost tribal that I suspect we share (insert nation : US, Canada, Oz, NZ, Dutch,and several others) that could only be topped had the Highland Dancers performed by placing their Claymores over AK47s, taken from the rabble we seem to regularly defeat in the field. No bayonets on the defeated enemy’s weapons, of course; our enemies close to combat behind a screen of women & children. Caber Feidh !

I have these groups when as separate units during the North American tours 83thru 86 on Nov 11 of these years in Weber State College Ogden, Utah.

Most countries do marches very well but somehow nobody does pomp like the British. These aren't chocolate soldiers, either. They've all done tours in Afghanistan, etc.

+The Kira699. Collectively the Royal Marine Bands are referred to as the Royal Marines Band Service. Individual bands are referred to by where they are based. As RM Band Scotland or Plymouth or Portsmouth etc. The Portsmouth band is also referred to as the Royal Band as can be distinguished by the Royal Band flash that they wear on their right shoulder. Regarding the Scotland Band it does not necessarily consist of Scots. It is quite possible, though unlikely that the band is comprised of no Scots at all but English Welsh and Northern Irish. They all train at the Royal Marines School of Music and on completion of their training they are deployed to where more band personnel are needed.

The marine band is the Band of HM Royal Marines, Scotland. Not of Scotland. There are five Royal Marine Bands and they take their title according to where they are based. The Scotland Band is not a Scottish Band.
