No army band comes anywhere near the best band in the world.
Royal Marines

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

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