The band once again took part in the Lord Mayor’s Show through Central London. This was a huge event for the band, performing in front of thousands of people through the heart of London.  

Nearly 7,000 people take part in the parade itself, along with 200 horses and more than 150 floats.  The procession stretches three miles and passes the Mansion House, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Royal Courts of Justice before returning to Mansion House via Victoria Embankment.  
The weather was really warm this year, which contributed to the huge crowds all along the route and a carnival atmosphere.
The band looked and sounded great – and we were once again seen on BBC 1!

What made this event even more special came right at the end of the day, when we were invited to play alongside the Band of the Royal Marines.  Playing ‘National Emblem’ with one of the best military bands in the country counts as one of the highlights for the band over the last 20 years.  A truly memorable experience for all.
