Prior to the actual Prinsjesdag procession, the various parade participants gather in a field just outside of the city center (the malieveld). During this time, some of the bands perform and the military units do some exercises. Then they all march to the palace to form the official procession.
I know tubas and bass drums are heavy, but marching with a baritone sax has got to be just as tough.

That baritone sax has a clip on his sax and it hangs around his neck...so not so bad!
