Yes, but that was The Regiment, as opposed to a regiment. The one that has Tprs rather than SACs.
Oddly enough, my old regiment didn't have a band or a goat either. Though we did do quite a bit of marching up and down the square for no real reason other than to keep the sergeant majors current on the use of their pace sticks (for pointing that is, not actually measuring paces). At Corps level we had a jolly good band.
