Well Sam, it's all in the preperation, and it looks like you've left it a tad late matey. These are the kind of questions you should have been asking a few months ago. Read what other people have asked over the past and what information they can give. Good Luck..........I think you'll need it.

Hi Sam,
the best place to look is here http://www.royalmarinesbands.co.uk/actionmusic/Index_recruiting.htm
You'll see a PDF about audition preparation there. Play something you are confident with that shows your skills off. Don't play something you are not confident with that will trip you up. Polite, smart and read up on the bands locations and what the Corps is doing in general.

Don't practice until you get it right; practice until you can't get it wrong!

This is too much like taking candy, annat.

Gettin' old Aa Aa? Slowin' down?

Toooo much.

Welcome Sammixjx - keep us informed and don't (whatever you do) write like that stuff you've put on this thread if you can avoid it. Just a wee tip for ya.

One final thing - if you can manage to put one over on the Aardvaark again - be my guest.
