For over 300 years, Britain’s Armed Forces; sailors, soldiers and airmen, have had their spirits raised and morale boosted by the sound and ceremony of Britain’s famous military bands.

In this compilation we feature the Bands of Her majesty’s Royal Marines.

The Royal Marines Band Service was formed in 1950; at its height there were over 26 active bands service at home, abroad and afloat. Since then the service has suffered from various cut-backs in manpower and therefore this DVD will soon become a collectors item as we capture what we believe will be the last of the Massed Bands as we remember them.
