Could someone explain why the CD starts with the Purple Pageant while the bands started at Birdcage Walk with the Wellington march?

We didn't start with Wellington March every night, Purple Pageant was in there on Thursday I think. The marches changed every night from a choice of 6 - and were the choice of the Royal Band's Bass Trombonist.
