The Band of HM Royal Marines Scotland: (As quoted from their own website.) "Wearing their distinctive white helmets, the Royal Marines Bands are renowned throughout the world for the quality of their music, visual splendour and precision drill. The Band is unique among Royal Marine Bands not only because it is based in Scotland, but also as it is the only Royal Marines Band stationed north of London. The Band travels extensively throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North of England. The band also travels abroad and has visited in Holland, Gibraltar, St Moritz Switzerland for the stock exchange Ski Championships, Cyprus for the Queens Birthday Celebrations and most recently Washington DC, USA. All members of the Band play at least two instruments and are required to perform all styles of music including wind band, marching band, orchestral and dance band engagements, making the Royal Marines musician one of the most versatile and adept in the military music world. All members of the Band are also trained to do other military duties as required of all soldiers; ie...they have served as carriers of the wounded in military actions worldwide."
