  以上只是概略
  裡頭有一堆曲名不太清楚，而且錄影帶有經過剪接
  順序都不太一樣
                                                                               
  但是不過第一次看完真的是受到相當震撼
  雖然我早就知道這些都是職業軍樂隊所演出的
  卻很難相信會有這如此精彩的演出
  如同我去年另外一篇說過的
  這裡呈現的是正統軍樂隊的純熟演出
  制服絢爛而不花俏，步伐一致帶有自信與默契
  重要的是他們可以面向四面八方的變換隊形
  而不像美式行進樂隊都得面向指揮
  還有英國系統樂隊獨有的變換行進節奏
  各地樂隊也有其不同的風格...
                                                                               
  正統軍樂隊與美式行進樂隊有很多地方不同
  首先就是指揮
  指揮權杖是拿在左手，尖端朝下，球體朝上（上面都還會突出一隻老鷹）
  行進時左手斜持權杖，右手擺動
  跟美式的左手叉腰，右手持指揮棒上下擺動是不同的
  而且要進行個別動作時的名堂也特別多
  一時還分不清楚
                                                                               
  而正統軍樂隊當中的樂器編制就如同一般室內管樂團的編制
  只不過用短號比小號多，短笛幾乎取代了長笛
  有些還用上了銅管樂團才會的用的中音號
  偶爾會用上行進法國號
  但是不會用到行進上低音號，行進低音號，也沒有蘇沙號
  當我看到紐西蘭陸軍樂隊扛著低音號而能變換隊形
  甚至後退，隊伍交錯而過...
  真的是自嘆弗如
                                                                               
  制服也不同於行進樂隊的花俏
  裡頭幾乎都是真正的軍樂隊
  正式大禮服配戴上所有的勳章綬帶徽記和繁複的裝飾繩帶
  相較之下以前我在部隊裡頭的大禮服簡直可笑
                                                                               
  另外還有一卷五十年回顧
  擷取過去十多年的一些精華片段
  也是相當令人嘆為觀止
