Today
The Frederiksborg Halbardier guard — the Hillerød town guard,as it is known today was founded on the very date that Frederik II founded the old corps of Halbardiers, namely 6 February 1971.
The drum corps, with its pike bearers, were the first on the streets, but only a few years later a brass band was added. In the past few years, the corps has taken part in many functions both in Denmark and abroad.
The Halbardiers have, for example, taken part in international tattoos, the official openings of exhibitions and congresses, concerts for Radio Denmark, cultural functions, town marches and concerts, company jubilees and much more.
The drum corps has taken part in the reception of guests both at private and public celebrations, business inaugurations and large receptions.
On its travels in Europe the corps has gained much experience in playing for international audiences and has received much praise for its stylish marching and excellent concerts.
