We are the 4th Uckfield Scout Band, part of the 4th Uckfield (Holy Cross) Scout Group in East Sussex. We are a marching band, but not just like the marching bands you see in carnivals and street parades. As members of the British Youth Band Association (BYBA), the governing body of a competition circuit in the UK, we travel across the country competing against other bands performing a competitive arena show.
The realisation of what is coming to the formation of the war effort, entertaining the troops, the battles, the aftermath of events, and the coming home. All will be part of our show as we tell our story. All the members are looking forward to performing this year’s show, with plenty of ideas being put together.
Our journey starts in September 1939 “consequently this nation is at war with Germany” was heard in every living room in the country.
