Item 5
MASSED BANDS of the Seventeen Regiments in the Southern Command enter the arena to a Slow March ' Preobajenski '—one which was presented in manuscript by the late Czar of Russia as Colonel of the Regiment to the 2nd Dragoons, the Royal Scots Greys, and has never previously been played by any assemblage of Massed Bands in this country. After the first movement the Bands break into a quick march ' Action Front', by Blankenburg, changing to ' Sing as we go ' before they halt to render Hero'd's ' Zampa '. Their exit is made to Mornay's 56th Brigade March, for which special side-drum parts have been written.
