Re: Horse Mounted Bands



The Household Cavalry of the British Army still have mounted bands as does
the Garde Republican of the French Army.  Before World War I most of the
Imperial German Army's cavalry Regiments had mounted bands, under the Third
Reich some still had.  I remember some newsreel footage of the German bands,
Movietone or Pathe I think.  Try the National Geographic for photos of the
Garde on Bastille Day.

As to how they do it there's a documentary on the training of a Drum Horse
for the Household Cavalry.
