And the sound perfect. Good old Wembley she was a great stadium. To still see this, what a site for sore eyes. So proud of all concerned then. They did a magnificent job. I hope the Queen was there to see this, she loved all this as I still do.❤

just found this clip, I was still in Chelsea barracks when this was on, our armed forces were so much bigger back then. but with cut backs its so small today, but one other thing is that young people don't play instruments like we did back then. our school had a big brass band and orchestra as well, which a lot of players went on to the forces bands. now its all phones and internet rather than a hobby of playing something, so many town bands struggle to get young players in these days.

You don't want to see what has become of the German armed forces... our defense minister now addresses his soldiers as "soldieresses and soldiers", and they use broomsticks for vehicle-mounted machine barrels during exercises, because there aren't enough real barrels to go around. The death of the Soviet Union was perhaps the greatest tragedy that ever hit the West. Everything that barely held the threads of society together until then is coming undone now.

Back in '81, it was even different because some Regiments had bands at the level of the Battalion, while most of the Corps had several bands each. I have watched the above many times since the '80s but from the perspective of 2024 it just looks like a different world. A gigantic band like the above is almost like a super-organism. The way that sound sways and rocks backwards and forwards! Presumably the sound in the centre was truly deafening. But in general what we see is awesome in the truest sense ... and it's easy to wonder if they are doing it as much for themselves as for us!
