Description
A charming depiction of a British Red Coat Bandsman holding his cane and wearing his crimson red stable jacket with black trousers and hat.-
A detailed portrait of this well presented Bandsman of the 2nd Dragoons Musicians Regiment, being full of character and delivering a glimmer of the past.
-
The young gentleman proudly stands by a stone plynth with his arms by his side looking seriously towards the artist.
-
We think this portrait depicts a Drum Major as the leader of a marching band, drum and bugle corps, or pipe band, usually positioned at the head of the band or corps.
-
The drum major, who is often dressed in more ornate clothing than the rest of the band or corps, is responsible for providing commands to the ensemble, and leads them while marching, and directs them what to play, when to play, and what time to keep.
-
The commands may be given either verbally, through hand gestures, using a whistle or a baton, or with a mace in the military.
