Description
Featuring the Band of the Royal Marines with the Pipes, Drums and Highland Dancers of the Scots Guards In their distinguishing white helmets, Royal Marines Bands are celebrated for the quality of their music, visual grandeur and precision drill. On the concert platform they enjoy a similar reputation ensuring their continuing popularity with their audiences. The Band's repertoire includes popular classics, Big Band, stimulating contemporary works and entertaining solo features. The Corps of Drums bring movement, color and the tradition of the ceremonial occasions integral to the Royal Marines. The Scots Guard Band holds the distinction of being the only Royal Marines Band stationed north of London. The Band travels extensively throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England and recent travel abroad has included engagements in Norway, Gibraltar, Columbia and Dubai. As with all Royal Marines Bands, the principal role is to provide musical support to the Naval Service, but within their secondary role the Band?s men and women undertake a variety of duties by sea and land on active service. Members of the Royal Marines Band Service have been deployed on active duty in all the major conflicts of the last century.
