The repertoire of the mounted band needs to be reviewed. It is very parochial and un-martial . This in itself is a shame as it is obvious that the musicians the horses are very well trained n have tue enviable ability to play at a trot and gallop. The musical repertoire is very uninspiring and very un-martial. A waste of talent resources and time! The foot band is equally well drilled and capable as the mounted one. The repertoire is marginally better and a bit more martial. Especially when they played John Phillip Sousa (son of portuguese parents and a great composer of martial music). The drill quality and the musical ability is there, and i would say wasted on the vast majority of their repertoire. With a more judicious choice of martial music they would be extremely imponent!
