A MILITARY MUSICAL
SPECTACULAR — HEROES
With an explosion of sound and
colour, the Massed Bands of the
Household Division, including the
Duchess of Edinburgh’s String
Orchestra, the State Trumpeters of the
Household Cavalry, and the Pipes and
Drums, will once again combine this
summer in a display of musical mastery
and marching might.
This remarkable event showcases the
very best that British military music has to
offer, featuring the world-renowned Bands
of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish
and Welsh Guards in a quintessentially
British display of tradition and pageantry,
with a twist or two.
Bringing together some of the finest
musicians and performers in the world,
audiences can expect a powerful and
moving performance featuring stirring
marches, patriotic anthems, and
electrifying riffs, performed with the
passion and precision military musicians
are renowned for the world over.
Events will take place on the historic
Horse Guards Parade in the centre of the
capital, a historically significant and
idyllic venue steeped in history and
tradition, where we pay homage to our
Heroes – not only those who have
served and sacrificed for our nation, but
also some of the most significant literary
and musical icons.
This annual event is renowned for its
stunning displays of discipline, musical
excellence, and visual splendour,
creating a truly unforgettable experience
for capacity audiences year on year. The
performance by a cast of some 300
musicians and special guests creates an
atmosphere filled with excitement and
suspense, as well as stirring pride in our
Armed Forces. It is an occasion not to
be missed, culminating in a spectacular
pyrotechnics display which provides a
breath-taking finale to what is
undoubtedly the most unique and
magnificent show in town.
Performances are on 15, 16 & 17
July. Tickets and further information at
