Alongside these performances, the band’s renowned Corps of Drums showcased their talent.
Under the direction of Aaron Pitman and the newly appointed band president, Steve Savage – a former WO1 Corps Bandmaster of the Band of HM Royal Marines – the concert demonstrated the wealth of experience and passion the two leaders bring to the band.
The concert was not only a celebration of musical excellence but also a vital fundraiser for the band’s mission.
All proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the band’s ongoing work in youth development in music, helping to nurture young musicians and ensure the band continues to thrive.
