The Planets

Have the RMBS ever made a recording of The Planets by Holst? Especially a live version by the massed bands. Please let me know if it was ever done. Thanks.

Nope. Not that I know of. Jupiter on MFM I think

There was once a training film when I joined up that used Jupiter as an on-going theme throughout the film. Shudders.....Vaulting horses in the stone gym, followed by rope climbing. That was played by an RMB but I know not which one. Possibly RMSM with Sir V-D at the helm? Perhaps Rab, or other senior members might be able to enlighten here.

..Crikey Brian.. your memory astounds me sometimes..

And you don't half know how to make a semi-oldish-middle-aged man feel older...

Sadly now out of press!
I think Mars was on one of the MFMs but can't seem to find it

The above ranks are pefectly correct, to my knowledge only Jupiter and Mars have ever been recorded.
