Boys of the Old Brigade as performed by the NHS Honors Band

This is the piece "Boys of the Old Brigade" as performed by Nederland's High School Honors Band. It was performed in the PAC on May 13th, 2008. The Band is directed my Mr. Rose.

I would like to add that this piece was put together in no time at all, and is a very challenging march.

[SarahSauce9191]

yes it is.

thats what the title of the piece of music is.

[ra4lyf]

well its not the rebel song

[SarahSauce9191]

i guess not,

but it is "Boys of the Old Brigade" by Chambers. I'm looking at the score right now.

Tough euphonium part in the trio, runs up to high Bb.

[TashkentFox]

It wasn't originally an Irish rebel song. It was a British military march written some time in the late 19th century.

The Old Brigade is a slow march written in 1881 with music by an Irishman Odoardo Barri (pseudonym for Edward Slater) and words by Frederic Weatherly. It was popularised by a 1926 recording by Peter Dawson.[1] This is a slow march that is always played at the annual Festival of Remembrance and at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday when the Chelsea Pensioners march.

but we had a quicker tempo

[TheMikeyReilly]

Not the Boys of the Old Brigade song I was expecting then.

@ra4lyf The rebel song took the title from another piece of music, as did this one and many others
