That is fantastic. I only saw music on larger, formal drive hunts in Germany.

When rendering the honors here in South Belgium, and I see it in France too, we don't have music played all the time but when we have music it is that kind of music:

It is not the same kind of instrument and sound, much complicated, but very emotional.

Sometimes you just have one or two players normally dressed, sometimes you have more of them in traditional uniform, but it is not so easy to have such players on a hunt and if you don't have a player among the hunters you have to rent one or more, which is costy. It's good to hear that music besides the taken game some days of the season.
