This morning the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards headed back to the center of London to Wellington barracks. Today was a rehearsal for the Beating of Retreat. Once the band had changed into there kit and tuned there pipes, we headed the short distance to Horse Guards. There we were joined by the regimental massed bands, the Pipes and Drums of the Irish Guards and the Military Band from Norway. It was another warm day, and we were all feeling the effects of the heat.
The rehearsal commenced, with the regimental bands playing and the band from Norway, however 2hours into the rehearsal the decided to call it a day, and the poor lads from Pipes and Drums who had been standing in there kit in the heat, never actually performed.
That evening, we returned back to Henslow West and Calvary Barracks, and spent the night in the barracks eating pizza and watching movies.
