Fantastic.

Are the guns loaded when they perform?

No, the weapons aren't loaded. In fact, they're not operational firearms. Actual rifles are used when they do salutes (using blanks). Dummy rifles are used when they do drills. Yeah. They're pretty awesome.

I went to my Navy tech school with two guys who had been in the Ceremonial Guard. They taught me how to get my uniform shirt so starched it looked like cardboard. Our class leader thought that was great. Those guys also told good stories. Basically, they'd do a show or bury some retired guy then get trashed. ;) But that was a long time ago.
