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.

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.

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