Remembrance Day: Last Post and Reveille

For Remembrance Day, The Salvation Army Canada and Bermuda Territory presents the Last Post and Reveille, performed by Marcus Venables, assistant territorial music and arts secretary.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

—From "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon

I had this played at my Dad's funeral when he died in 2000 age 92 5 month old. He was a WW11 Veteran. I had to honor him.

Very well-done video! Good trumpeter playing well. Good reading of a famous poem for the War Dead of 1914 - 1918. "Lest We Forget."

A moment of silence for all the fallen soldiers

Well done. Thank you. May the West wake up and be grateful for our heritage. (Freedom of religion, Judeo Christian ethic, 1st & 2nd Amendments, due process, the right to vote, etc.)

Beautiful! My old boy passed away today, veteran of the suez and Cold War. These people gave so much for our freedom!

Looking forward to performing both The Last Post and Reveille at my school's Remembrance Day Ceremony this year! This is by far the best video performance I've seen to reference for good tone, balance, and everything!! 👍🙌

Beautiful performance on the cornet. This part of the remembrance ceremony has 4 parts:

The Last Post - signals the end of duty for both the living & the dead

Silence - brief time to remember or reflect on the cost of freedom & the sacrifice

Rouse - the beginning of a new day for the living, the hope the dead have found a new beginning in a better place

Poem: For The Fallen, by Laurence Binyon (1914)
4th stanza - 🇦🇺🇳🇿 the ode of remembrance; 🇨🇦the act of remembrance

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Both bugle calls are played to signify our remembrance:
At the going down of the sun - Last Post
And in the morning - Rouse

***NB: the 2nd bugle call played is “Rouse”
Reveille, tune of similar purpose is a much longer tune.

At least we remember the people, but at least we forget the people

[rickoshay]

Being an Afghanistan vet many of us have been promised care and have seen little to no support. Canada's top general and the entire parliament stood and ovated a Nazi twice while VA advised a vet to partake in MAiD. I will remember my own way and won't take part in honouring Nazi war dead.

I believe the second number is actually Rouse...? Reveille is actually a more upbeat tune.
