Please ID this unit

I believe this is a British band but can't ID the regiment...

Not British Frank, I think they are the Regimentsfanfare 'Garde Grenadiers en Jagers' (RFGGJ) from the Netherlands

I agree, Band of the Grenadier Guards of the Netherlands.

During their existance the uniform changed slightly in some detail.

I don't think this is correct. If you look carefully, the Bands name is in the title of the youtube film--"Adest Musica Sassenheim" from the Netherlads. Their home page proclaims various bands from Juniors to Seniors

Yes, the uniforms have that 'close enough' look that non-military bands use when they want to be mistaken for soldiers without hassles about copyright!

Can you copyright a uniform? I think so, as the US Marine Corps allows civilian use of their logo, but only after payment of royalties. And I'm sure they're not the only ones!

The tunes didn't sound quite martial enough either, though I often have trouble IDing brass band songs. In fact, i strongly suspect that their are books of tunes for bands like these which deliberately sound LIKE military tunes without actually being military. [see 'royalties' above.]

I was wrong in my previous reaction, it is a civil band, The Drum and Showband Adestb Musica from Sassenheim in The Netherlends,

their website is http://www.adestmusica.nl/
