Video Shot using Hi8 Camcorder

I recorded this video after contacting the Tattoo marketing team seeking permission to film and record their live free event called Taste of the Tattoo which was a hugely popular feature while the main Tattoo event took place at the Edinburgh Castle within the Scottish capital. The video was one of the last I filmed and recorded using a Hi8 camcorder I was gifted by a member of the Edinburgh Cine and Video Society who I had been a member of for many years while living in Edinburgh.

His Majesty The King's Guards Band and Drill Team is the finest display unit in the Norwegian Armed Forces. The band's main task is to protect and serve the Royal Norwegian Family, to perform guard and parade duties, to train soldiers for the Norwegia Army and to assist the general public when called upon.

The band members would assist with providing support in the event of a catastrophes, help combat forest fires and with mounting search and rescue operations.

The guardsmen featured within this video on parade were all undergoing compulsory military service for twelve months, and average between nineteen and twenty years old. The company was called up in 2007 and began musical and infantry training throughout the winter months.

The one hundred and thirty five strong Kings Guards have represented the Norwegian Military Forces overseas on several occasions. Highlights include performances at La Place Des Invalides in Paris, the Grand Place in Brussels, the Olympic Games at Lillehammer in 1994 and have appeared at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on several occasions.
