Sha Bu Le Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Friend sent me this........had to share it with you. ATB Bri This is the Norwegian Royal Guard Regiment (equivalent to the British and Canadian Guards regiments). These guys give the USMC Band and Honor Guard and the Army's 1 BN 3d Infantry (The Old Guard) a run for their money. It is interesting how a cheesy Hollywood theme (from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly") can sound impressive when played by an elite military bandis "River Dance" with boots and rifles! I can't remember ever seeing a display of precision to beat this! All of this is being performed on ICE! Those are US made Garand M-1 rifles (WWII), and they are heavy weapons (9 POUNDS EACH). also,known for its balance!! When that one fellow goes on his own - YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A RIFLE SPUN THAT FAST! http://sorisomail.com/email/16993/exibicao-de-banda-militar--um-espectaculo-imperdivel.html Edited January 12, 2013 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have seen a similar thing with either the Americans or the Canadians, I for get which. The fact that this routine was done on ice made it even more eimpressive! That was a real treat to watch such precision, timing and balance, a real pleasure to watch . With the winter that I believe that we are going to have maybe PW members could get together and try something like that! :no: Maybe not!

bullet1747 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Reminds me of about 25 years ago when I was in the light infantry fastest marching we did a display for about 5 mins no spinning of the guns but was very proud to take part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
