I walked to ATCO at noon today to enjoy the performance of the Band of The Household Calvary. On the south side of ATCO complex is a lovely outdoor amphitheatre. With at least 500 happy souls in attendance we were treated to 45 minutes of the Band’s music, including traditional band fare, plus music bey Eric Clapton. Marvin Hamlisch and some show tunes. I was perched low and close by captured the Band in full regalia including their four trumpeters. Here are some of my images. The Band was led by Major Bygrove.

At the finish, Major Bygrove presented Nancy Southern (CEO of ATCO) with a special photo of the Household Calvary Band and the mounted Men parading along The Mall at King Charles coronation.
Nancy was clearly moved by the gift.
