I spent 26 magical years as a Horn player in the World's Finest Military Band...........the 17th/21st Lancers.

Only kidding!

The Band of HM Royal Marines are in a league of their own.

It's good to see that you have set your sights early in life. I note on your profile that you also play the Bass Guitar. It's feasible that you will get the opportunity to play it in the RM Band, as well.

What Grade are you? (Horn & B.Guitar)

Some good info here:

I left almost 13 years ago, but there are serving Horn players that use this Forum that will be able to offer you more advice, I'm sure.

Good luck!
