I love this . As a drummer that marched in drum and bugle corps. That is how it is done. Beautiful

Ross Andrews, Susan Brokman and I were the first composers of that work on the first one valve bugle that I designed and wrote tons of music for. It's an honor hearing it still being played. One time where I actually did make a difference.

I hope everyone here can appreciate how extraordinary complex that snare feature was… 😮

@Marcos Calvillo That's probably because the Old Guard Fife And Drum has Royal History. They use the same drumline as the British when the British Army tries to entertain the public with a drum solo. The Old Guard Fife And Drum is a special Military Branch, As it is the only branch of the U.S. Military that was actually funded by His Majesty King George III when America was a British Colony.

Not exactly. You have the right idea. The British used several different colors for there Lapels, red, green, yellow, white, buff, and blue. Different color meant different regiment. Each regiment had there own group of drummers, an example the 54th regiment had red coats with green lapels, so there musicians wore green coats with red lapels, this was the same for all regiments EXCEPT ones with blue, blue lapels were for royal regiments, such as the 60th regiment of foot, there musicians still had red coats, the only thing different was they had stripes on there coats.

@@takinoborudesu No they wouldn’t have, the British army wouldn’t change their musicians’ coat colours to blue after the newly formed Continental army. They wore the colours of their regiment’s facings. For example, the 10th Regiment of Foot’s facings are yellow, and their musicians’ coat is yellow with red facings.

Field musics were often young boys. To identify them as noncombatants and to aid the commander in finding his main mode of communication, they wore the opposite color of their unit. The Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, the US Marine Band, and the US Marine Drum and Bugle Corps all wear red coats in this tradition.
