I am in the application for joining the Corps of Army Music.

I have a list of Bands I will opt for when at Phase 2 at Kneller Hall.

For me my favourite Bands would be:

The Queen's Guards - But Grenadier/Coldstream the most

The Band of The Parachute Regiment

The Band of The Army Air Corps

I can't wait to become a British Army Musician :)

I wouldn't fancy joining them, can't imagine anything worse than being based in Colchester, walking round wearing an un-earned Maroon Machine, you definitely won't be a popular bloke :lol:

Band of the Army Air Corps are a good lot. Always good to hear them playing Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines!

Anyone interested in the Corps of Army Music or ex Army Musician etc...it's the 4th Rhythm Force Concert at Kneller Hall (Royal Military School of Music) tomorrow. Gates open at 4pm and costs £15.

Stools, Stands, various Army Regiment/Corps there showing off their stuff & obviously live Corps of Army Music!
