Burgess Hill Marching Youth release VE Day video

The video includes members of the youth band who filmed themselves playing the band’s Remembrance Day Medley and was collated by band member Andy Marsh.

The music, arranged for the full band by Claire Stacey, bandmaster, has been a part of the band’s repertoire for Remembrance Day parades for many years.

It includes well known war tunes It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, Pack Up Your Troubles, and We’ll Meet Again.

Claire said: “The band leads the November parade in Ditchling and Hassocks most years and has done since the 1980s.

“Talented musicians from the band participated in the video with the youngest being just 9 years old.

“Burgess Hill Marching Youth is an inclusive organisation, taking children, teenagers and adults from complete beginner, therefore, members vary in ability.

“BHMY, along with many youth bands across the UK, will continue to tradition of remembrance; they gave their today for our tomorrow. Here is a little bit of our today in memory of them.”
