The Household Cavalry and the Brigade of Guards are unique to this country and nowhere else in the world can one see a finer display of military precision, pageantry and panache than when these famous regiments arc on parade in their ceremonial uniforms. Whether on the battlefield, or the parade ground, the Household Regiments arc impressive and are an integral part of our national heritage. The Regimental Bands have a universal reputation for their musical prowess. In the United Kingdom they provide the marching and mounted bands for all of Her Majesty's ceremonial occasions, such as Trooping the Colour, Beating Retreat and Guard Mounting duties. For State visits and Investitures at Buckingham Palace they provide orchestras and quartets. When not so engaged, they travel the country and abroad providing Dance and Concert Bands for all functions, attend broadcasting sessions for the radio and television, record their music onto records, tapes and compact disc, and in between find the time to practice on their instruments and train for their secondary role as medics!
