Hello Delvin-Pedia! have missed you the last few days, no one to answer questions Lol. Welcome back & there is Definitely only 1 Pedia! & it has Delvin as its first name.

Sounds like a Belfast boy shouting ❤

Too right proud of them every single one of the military members. Keep safe and thank you to every single one of you.

Marching down Birdcage Walk playing Birdcage Walk!

The amount of practice and effort they must put in to pull this off is amazing. Play an instrument whilst keeping in step and remembering your own parts - sort of patting your head while rubbing your belly at the same time!

Just wonderful can't stop watching it Greatest any where in the world

Brilliant work from all, lovely to watch and listen to, well done all, proud of you,

Great video Mr B. Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to the massed bands. Quick question - does the Band of the Scots Guards have their own Drum Major? Noticed that there are sometimes more than one Drum Major from the same regiment on parade, but not one from the Scots Guards? Thanks again for posting.

The last few outings the Scots Guards have had, they've had the Divisions Senior Drum Major SSgt Gareth Chambers MVO 1st Battalion Irish Guards with them. That was Changing the Guard at BP, Changing the Guard at Windsor, The Garter Ceremony & The Polo Finals at The Guards Polo Ground at Windsor. Drum Majors can be Sneaky, they're known to lead 1 Band to BP, then all Swap so when they leave BP they're leading Different Bands.

Hi Kathleen, if this is the same as the last 2 Musical Spectaculars, they actually March on from 2 sides of the viewing Marque, then form up as the massed Band in the Middle & wait for the Royal Guest to arrive. Last year it was the Duke of Kent, then they play the National Anthem for the Royal Salute. Last years was Brilliant, the massed Band split up into Regiments & Marched off again twice, once for the Pipes & Drums & once for The Cavalry Band & came back each time, then all of them come together for the Finale. All the money raised goes to the Charities of the Household Division, most of which are for looking after the Welfare of the Divisions Regiments.

Disagree. The US Marine bands are excellent. They also play without the music on their instruments and the drumming is inventive and perfect.

Why does the SDM sometimes salute as he passes the Guards Chapel and on other occasions doesn't?

The music starts @4:58

What happened to drum major Daniel Fairley.

Oh what a lovely band! Nice to Irish Guards DM as senior DM. But where are the female musicians? I don't see any on parade.

Very good Video Mr B!! Definitely back to Normal, lots of favourite Marches. I'm quite puzzled though, why would you have all the Bands massed together, then only have half them play at a time. Why not just have 2 bands? I'm sure there's probably a reason, but I'm blowed if I can think of what it is. Thanks Mr B for all your hard work again, you must be as fit as a coiled spring by now, lean & mean.

@@geliconner9669 Yep I saw that too. It's the Musical Director from 1 of the bands, you just catch him diving in to the Ranks. The Drum Major, with the Strong Northern Irish Accent, he's the 3rd one from either side is Gareth Chambers MVO, he's the Senior Drum Major of the Division, is in control of the Massed Bands, the other Drum Majors take the lead from him. Perhaps, as this is only a rehearsal, they might be wanting to try out a few things. You never know until the actual Parade, what the disposition of the Instruments is, so perhaps they are wanting to check that the volume output on either side is the same, or maybe they have the Instruments in different places on 1. I'm hoping Mr B will attend this year too, his coverage of last years Spectacular was Brilliant. Until then I'll have to exercise some patience, something I'm not really good at.

@vickyRoyalHistory

@@geliconner9669 Actually the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to think it's to do with volume. It looks like they are going to do their entrance onto Horse Guards the same as they did last year, standing in front of the Guards Memorial, looking at the Parade Ground, they entered from the right, which for the Trooping the Colour,was stands of Seating. Where the Troops Stood in lines, now has the Seating Stands. On the right side, there was a Marquee erected for all the Dignitaries & the Royal Guest. When the Bands entered the Parade Ground, they did so in Regiments either side of the Marquee, then marched towards the left, which was Seating for the Politicians, Visiting Military & Diplomats, those Seating Stands were where the King took the Salute along with all the Colonials & Assorted Military Personnel on Horseback. Once the Bands came in, they all came together as a Massed Band again & finally halt facing the Marquee to await the Arrival of the Royal Party & play the National Anthem & then the Spectacular starts. They are probably checking the Volume is the same for both sides, so as they March onto Horse Guard Parade ground, you don't have loud & soft volumes for the Spectators.

​@@vickyRoyalHistoryThe person giving the instructions at 3:21 is actually Assistant Senior Drum Major (WO2) Scott Fitzgerald. He was Senior Drum Major of the Household Division from 2014-2017. He's actually my favourite Drum Major! The post he holds was made specially for him. After he retired from the regular army, and came back as a reservist. So he's technically a reservist. Meaning he does not deploy with the 1st Bn. Coldstream Guards Corps of Drums when they deploy. That would be Drum Major Daniel Fairley who's the Battalion Drum Major for the 1st Bn. Coldstream Guards Corps of Drums.

Hi Charlotte! lol I finally found out why he Salutes the Grenadiers & is the only DM that does. It's because he's the Senior Drum Major for the Division, that's a Staff Position which makes him a Staff Sergeant. The Grenadiers are the Senior Regiment of the Guards & there's I believe Staff people based there. I was told who but I can't remember.

Hi Gail, Every Year the Household Division puts on a "Musical Spectacular". The Household Division (aka London Division) Bands come from the 5 Infantry Regiments & the Cavalry Regiment that Guard the Monarch. All the proceeds from the Show goes to the Regiments' Charities. This years theme is the Orb & Sceptre, which is the Ball & thing that looks like a large wand, that the Monarch holds at the Coronation. They were also laid on the Queens Coffin & were removed before it was lowered into the Crypt at St Georges Chapel, Windsor. Last years one was called The Queen & The Commonwealth, it was Brilliant. In the Show, all these bands will be in the familiar Bright Red Tunics & the Drum Majors will be in Full Ceremonial Uniform, The Gold Tunic & wearing a Jockey Cap. There will also be the Pipes & Drums of the Division & The Household Cavalry Band. It really is a Musical Spectacular, with a wide range of Music & Marching. There are a number of videos of last years one on You Tube, well worth a watch.
