USAF Pipe band marching at JFK funeral

[brewingjt100]

The march that they did during "Mist Covered Mountains". Is that considered a slow march or is there another name for it? Where the foot hovers in front before placing the foot down.
TIA

Yes, that "hesitation" step is the slow march. It's not difficult to do but I would find someone trained in it to show you, as it's easy to get it not quite right by yourself.

They played it as a 4/4 at the funeral, feels a bit different but way easier to march to.

brewingjt100... as Calum notes above... it is an easy
step and cadence to learn... but... always the easiest...
to have someone proficient in it... to help the learning
of it along... :-)

One of the mobs with whom I have played... decided
to learn it for a specific ceremony... but... and initially...
without that guiding hand... we floundered about like
Fred Karnow,s Army!!... and all a-swill with Guinness!!

And... it was so bad... that we all wound up laughing
at ourselves!! :-) (And it was a damned good band!!)

Next Time... we had the help of that Guiding Hand...
and an hour later... we were doing a Cracker Jack
job of it. :-)

Wishing you... All the Best... with the learning of it,
