The most popular image people have of us is the Massed Bands and Corps of Drums in full dress uniform, marching in perfect formation on Horse Guards Parade or in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. However, as well as military events like ‘Beating Retreat’ or the ‘Tattoo’, you’ll play at state and ceremonial occasions, concerts and Corps of Drums displays. Sometimes you’ll play with your band, or with all five bands together as the Massed Bands. You may also be part of a dance band, a light orchestra for a lunch or dinner, or a brass, string or woodwind ensemble.
