i have heard several classic rock pieces played by the London studio orchestra, Knights in white satin by the moody blues (?) and Jean Michel Jarre's Equinoxe and may others have had classical reworks, and they all seem to work. Shake it off (should be called "Brass it off" given its a brass band playing here) is another piece that also works

That's a band, not an orchestra. Please, get thee to a symphony concert this fall.
My 14 yr old daughter is in HS marching band in TX & a Swiftie … she’s impressed!
A very smart arrangement of Taylor's iconic anthem. Bravo!

I have plenty of fun, thanks. And part of that fun is knowing I'm not fawning over a 34 year old still fannying around as though she's 16. If they'd played The Verve, Oasis, Manic Street Preachers, or Kings of Leon, they'd have got my vote. Call me old fashioned, but teeny-bopper pop just doesn't do it for me.

when Taylor Swift comes to London the guards need to perform blank space or cruel summer on those instruments

As a Brit I think this is great, nice to change things up once in a while from the same old military tracks. Maybe William asked for it for his birthday 😂
That’s awesome 👏
Groovy. Real well done gentlemen. I hope that she let's you play your great music with her some time at a show. Never knew it could adapt to a brass band. You certainly translated pop across to your style. Injecting some fun too into what are normally important and serious duties. Best wishes to Taylor and yourselves. Bernadette
