The Band of The Parachute Regiment
The Parachute Regiment was formed on the 1st August 1942; however, it did not have any musical support until 1947. At this time the 1st and 2nd Battalion bands were formed in Aldershot with Bandsmen from varying Infantry Regiments whose 2nd battalions were being put into suspended animation after the 2nd World War. A 3rd Battalion band was formed a year later from newly recruited musicians. Today there remains one Regimental Band under the command of a Captain. This new recording displays the quality and range of styles of musicians of the modern era.
