THE DEVILS

Bow your head
if you're seated stand
(be)'cause they are passing
they the Sassari Brigade
boh! boh!
and with your hand show
the best youngmen
of all Sardinia

We are the descendents
of those ancient people
that struck fear into
heart of their enemies
boh! boh!
and we are the stendard bearers
we keep the honour high
of Italy and Sardinia

(There's) no money
(that) can buy our honour
let's go! Devils!
forward forza paris!

Formed in 1988, the Sassari Brigade Band has inherited the tradition of the dissolved Reggimental Bands, who traditionally accompanied soldiers into battle. The band is made up of about 30 soldiers plus a squad of imperial drummers and their mace-bearer. The band's repertoire is varied, from traditional military band marches to classical works, including pieces by Rossini, Verdi, Beethoven, Puddu, Sousa and other composers.
As well as participating at military events, the band has also played at international sporting events held in Sardinia, since they regularly perfome throughout the island as well as on mainland Italy. The band has been directed by Chief Music Marshall Andrea Atzeni since its formation.
