An umpteenth video I see for the first time, an excellent performance of both Welsh and Coldstream Band, led by the extraordinary impeccable SDM Gareth Chambers, with his inimitable style! They have played one of my favorite march "Colchester Castle ". A stunning video I much enjoyed, thank you very much AFV.

Excellent video. Always nice to hear and see the Coldstream Band. My dad was the base drummer in the Governor General’s Foot Guards (Canada) for over 20 years and I was a Sargent in the Regiment. Love the buttons two by two. Up the guards.

This Senior Drum Major has great style and elegance and always looks immaculate.
Great to see him leading the Guards Bands in Windsor, with the musicians playing one of my favourite Military Marches ; Colchester Castle !

Lovely to see Senior Drum Major Irish Guards leading. The music is so good to hear from the Coldstream Guards and I do enjoy the foot guards (on this occasion the Scots Guards) marching along, thank you.😊(and to complete, on the return, Grenadier old guard and I think a Welsh Guard musician and a Welsh Guard Officer

6:21 The Red Shield. A classic SA March

[Geri-gi]

[charlottecunningham]

My favorite SDM and my favorite policeman and a few favorite band members. I needed this🥹

[ritapitt]

This was great 👍 seems ages since we've seen the wonderful Coldstream band ❤..and not forgetting the spectacular Gareth Chambers 👏

[TheDrummie]

What a great march that is " The Red Shield"

[MikeM-]

Excellent video, AFV! Thanks. As others have said, it's great that you got so much of the march "The Red Shield", and as for the "catch" at 07:00 what more can I say. I've always really liked "Scarlet and Gold" as well ever since I first heard it at Windsor in March 2023, the way the beginning of it sounds so dramatic and almost sinister (helped of course by the "arch") and then it quickly becomes almost playful-sounding for a while before another serious bit at 02:28 .

the young man on the pavement at the far side seems to enjoy himself, keeping good time too

Thank you so much for this excellent video, almost live as it was shot to-day. I'm amazed by the quality of your pictures, very stable and shot so close that one would believe he is among the marching musicians. Also very nice sound quality that pleases my ears. The Guards are all excellent performers, they are able to play everything. This walk from Coldstream Guards Barracks to Windsor Castle and back was just a fine and great pleasure. A special attention to the drum major: has anyone already tried to walk like him, with arms swinging at a different rhythm? It's very hard to de-synchronise ones movements....

Hello! :)

Please would anyone be able to tell us the title of the piece being played at 3:26? Our 5yo would love to know.

Thank you so much!

Nice video was just wondering the symbols player has the crown on his sleeve as does the conductor I would like know what this is for please and then sometimes I just see the odd player in the band having a large sword attached, why would this be. Just interested as the guys/ladies put a lot of effort in to the uniform not to mention playing the instruments which is very hard, but they make it look so easy, the sound is just something else I could play this sort of stuff all day tbh

[dmb]

Can someone tell me, what’s the titel of the march played from 4.50min? THX

[GGibert]

Do they wear Welsh guards coats? I thought the buttons were grouped by two...It's look like Coldstreams coats... (5 buttons)

This is a super video to watch. Excellent sound and good clear visuals. Thank you for making it available 😎
