Prior to the largest military musical spectacular London has ever witnessed on June 1st and 2nd to raise money for Care For Casualties, The Band and Bugles of the Rifles will fill London Underground with music throughout 25th May.
As well as the stirring sight of scores of bandsmen playing whilst undertaking their characteristically fast march, the buglers will show their versatility with a quartet playing a teapot, a crutch, a chair and a hosepipe and any other items that they come across during the day.
The Massed Bands are in London rehearsing for the charity event, which they’ll be performing in front of thousands of people alongside The Royal Gurkha Rifles Pipes and Drums, The Band of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry from Canada, The Quirinus Band from Germany, the Rifles Fijian Choir and the Military Wives Choir.
