The marching band

Ever since its formation The Band of the Royal Corps of Signals provides vital morale and musical support to the Corps. The marching band in its traditional scarlet and gold jackets, Hussar busbies and Wellington dress boots with swan necked spurs provides an important public face of the Corps to the general public.

The Band regularly provides musical support to the Royal Corps of Signals for many important ceremonies. Our recent appearance with the troops includes Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Home Coming and Medal parades, Freedom parades, Remembrance services, and numerous major parades where the Corps' Colonel-In-Chief, HRH The Princess Royal had been in attendance.

The concert band regularly performs and entertains military personnel as well as the general public in support of numerous Forces and civilian charities around Dorset and its wider areas. With our many outstanding musicians, the concert band performs a wide variety of repertoire ranging from  traditional military works, popular Broadway favourites, to original contemporary wind band compositions. Our recent public appearances include Shrewsbury Flower Show, Defence Academy of the United Kingdom in Shrivenham and Romsey Agricultural and Horse Show. 

This year the Band has helped raised £32,642 (and rising) for ABF, The Soldiers' Charity, Help for Heroes, CAMUS Trust and many other local charities.
