Remembrance Day: National holiday?/"Veterans' Day"? (merged)

When you march to the Pipes & Drums at 110 paces per minute you have to learn to swagger. Once you get the rhythm you will be ok.
Now doing 140 per Rifle Regiments requires short sharp paces. Double Pasts at 180 requires a fair bit of practice.

I bet these two videos would be much better with a brass band.

Edit to add that I bet most of these people where more acquainted with marching Without a band at the normal 120 paces per minute. Then throw them in with a Band (Pipe) @110, you are looking at the results.

Can confirm. Our first Ph IV grad parade practice at the Infantry School in Gagetown (Forty years ago! Where did the time go?), they had the pipes and drums of 2RCR playing. It really messed with our pacing until we got used to it.

We also don't know how much rehearsal time as a group they had before the parade, if drill is as low a priority as many here with current/more recent experience are saying. Could also be folks cobbled together from a bunch of different units/teams ad hoc?
