Anyone know where I might be able to find some dots for some British bugle calls? I have a RM Corps of Drums handbook with loads of statics solo's and fanfares in it but it doesn't have any of the bugle calls. Thanks

Didn't look very far for Bugle calls did you!

Yet another question:
I was told that it may be possible for me to take my audition sometime in June this summer and I was wondering what would happen if I were to be accepted, as in how long I would have in between audition and the commencement of my tuition for the RMBS. For example if I passed my audition in June would it be possible for me to finish out my tuition in the states before starting my training at the RMSoM or would I be required to start training before then?

You would probably be offered a start date of September 08 although you could probably ask for Easter 09.

I know this is a stupid question but I couldn't find the answer on the site. Do the bass drummers come from the Buglers branch or the musicians branch

Now I may be going out on a limb with yew lot, but the guy ashing the question may not twig our humour (not a type of tree) ..

So I'll try and be cedarish.. errr serious ....

The Bass Drummers are normally Bassoon/Oboe players, as these instruments are not carried by RMB's on the march..

So obviously they are part of the musicians' BRANCH....

Sorry. had to be done...
