(bron: wikipedia)The Band of the Grenadier Guards is the military band of the Grenadier Guards, which is an infantry regiment of the British Army. It was raised between 1660 with first a drum and 1665, when a fife was added.
The birth of the Grenadiers Band has been described to date from 1665, when each company had one soldier who had been instructed in playing the fife. In 1685, Charles II allowed the band to maintain 12 "hautbois" (oboe) players.
