    It was always amazing to see the Musikkorps practice and perform in real life ... they were very good, but then that was their job ... Cheers, Torsten.

      And not just the Musikkorps!
      That's the Wachregiment! ....
      In any case, the Musikkorps was led ( i.e. he was the man marching ahead of everybody else, I don't think he conducted) in those days and for much of the 1960s by this rotund gentleman:



      Others have seen a physical similarity between him and a comedy character in some kind of Stalag situation ... But I think such associations border on the offensive...
      I will have to admit that seeing him swing into Exerzierschritt is always a trifle amusing... but there is no doubt that he knew his job . A CD of NVA marches mentions a drum-major in whose honour a march had been named. I wonder if it is him.
      In later years, and this is the drum-major that Torsten must have seen, the combined Musikkorps was lead by a much younger man, who excelled in the vertical rather the horizontal dimension ...
      He must have been at least 2 metres tall .
      He too was EXCEPTIONALLY good! I do wonder what happened to him after the collapse of the DDR as those skills are not necessarily easily recycleable in civilian life...

            Looks like that photo was taken outside the gates of the Humboldt University on Unter den Linden and marching down towards the Brandenburg Gate? Cheers, Torsten.

                The march named after the drum major is "Bodensteiner-Marsch", after Günther Bodenstein and composed by Gerhard Baumann, leader of the Central Orchestra of the People's Army. Bodenstein will lead the fife and drum corps later in 1970-s - 1980-s. The drum major on the picture is Gerhard Kinow.
