Newport Chimes, the latest album by the 1st Newport Scout Group (The Old Guard) Corps Of Drums, is a triumph of traditional brass band music. The album features a collection of well-known marching tunes, including "The British Grenadiers" and "The Girl I Left Behind Me," as well as original compositions by the group's talented arrangers.

The album's standout tracks include "The Newport Chimes," a rousing march that showcases the group's precision and skill, and "The Old Guard," a stirring tribute to the group's long history and tradition of excellence.

Throughout the album, the Corps Of Drums display a remarkable level of musicianship and dedication to their craft. From the crisp, staccato snare drums to the rich, resonant brass of the bugles and trumpets, every note is played with precision and passion.
