This is 13:54 of pure WOW! I love the massed bands of HM Royal Marines the best, but sometimes the five massed bands of the Guards of Food of the Household Division can lay that stuff down.
Wow, wow, wow, wow… This is almost as fantastic as the playing in Margaret Thatcher's funeral procession, which was electrifyingly good. But this happened two days ago. If you have friends in any of the five bands in this video (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards), congratulate them for me!

Here is the HM Royal Marine Band (not sure which one) that played Thatcher's funeral procession. Not perfect, but electric at times.
