Royal Succession can become quite dicey, but there's always a fine display of horns, banners and drums involved, not to mention horses. This next round will be no exception. With absolutely no disrespect to the Queen, it might be more fun for them to play this out "Game of Thrones" style. Think I'm hooked on "House of Dragons"now... But I hope this brings reconciliation to their family. Edited September 11, 2022 by keystone3ply cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just googled Paddington Bear WWII and didn’t know this, wow… And many London kids were sent out to the countryside during the Blitz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Considering that today is also Sep 11; this directive by The Queen to the Coldstream Guards was a 100% class move. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get Elgar’s Enigma Variations. They played it at Princess Diana’s service. I hope so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret stayed in London with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. She was a truck mechanic in the war, too. She lived a good life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwellian Wiress Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I didn't know the Royal Guard uses lyres. Does everyone call them that or is that just the ones that are actually shaped like lyres? The things that hold a small piece of your sheet music on your horn. Also, do they use those in drum corps? If so, I've never noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the King showed her the part he took out so it wouldn’t start. 😈😆 Something a mechanics son (me) would remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I've never noticed. In Drum Corps, the music is memorized. The bands involved in Changing of the Guard generally use lures, as much of the music changes daily. Individual musicians may have it memorized after a few practice run throughs, but in general everyone has a lyre for the sake of visual consistency (college band I was in did it for the same reason).

I’ve seen them in alumni corps. I’ve never used one myself. I never had any trouble memorizing music. I memorized two shows in 2002. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
