Salamanca Band
Salamanca Band for the Royal Cornwall
The Salamanca Band represents all that is new about the British Army yet also encompasses great tradition and history.
In February of this year, "The Rifles" was formed. It consists of five Regular and two TA battalions, the biggest regiment in the British Army.
The Salamanca Band of the 6th Battalion, the Rifles, has powerful west country roots, tracing its history back to the Territorial Army Band in Devon in 1908.
It is a band that is very proudnot only of its own history but also of its unique presentation, which is bound to cause excitement amongst spectators gathered round the main ring.
Marching at a rate of 140 paces to the minute immediately sets this band apart. That's fast and they have to be good to achieve that pace, present a coordinated marching display and at the same time perform as a band.
Also marking them out as something different is the use of the silver bugle rather than the drum.
As the band spokesman says: "Favouring the silver bugle enables the band and bugles to carry out their unique marching displays that have thrilled audiences the world over."
The band will perform on day three in main ring and on the Kelly's of Bodmin stage
