As an American and a 21-year active-duty veteran of the US Air Force, I must confess I was moved by that rousing performance of the Central Band of the Royal Air Force. And while listening to that stirring rendition, I shuddered to think what this world would look like right now if it weren't for the exceptionally brave and remarkable men and women, and AWESOME aircraft, of the RAF. So, cheers and a BIG salute from my side of the pond to those who have served, are now serving, and will soon serve in the legendary Royal Air Force!

That's just how the band is set up. Brass at the front and Upper woodwinds at the back. While it's nice to have clarinets and piccolos in a band to be perfectly honest it's not necessary. Australian full-time army bands now parade with only a tuba, trombones, trumpets, saxes and drums because their budget only allows for a big band. It is a shame though.
