Good try, but this rehearsal was 1964 for the Centinary of the Corps. This was the one and only time the Band made the famous Three hundred. |

In the mean time can one of you Band experts tell me if the Royal Marine Band has ever used Sousaphones and if they did why did they stop using them ?
I believe they were specifically designed for marching bands as they direct the sound forwards instead of up in the air like the basses we use now????
 |
Anyone got an answer yet ?
 |
Do any of these pictures help......?

Forget about Sousaphones, that CPL on string bass, is a dead ringer for Pusser!

Further to Tanky's comment, there were a total of 394 Buglers and Musicians on Horseguards for this gig. These included the band with D/Ms ,Bug Majs, B/Ms.Fanfare Team and markers. AND ME. lol |
