National Concert Band Camp

I’ve applied for the National Concert Band Camp in February at Cranwell. Has anyone here been? What can I expect and do you get the gold music badge?

Cheers

I did it a few years ago. Very good camp. About 9 hours practice a day including some time with regular serving musicians. Very high standards on camp and very very tiring! Good fun and definitely worth doing. And yes, you do get a gold music badge!

Is it proper accommodation?

Sounds like you had an excellent time, I’m excited now haha

If you’re going in February it will be hard accommodation. Doesn’t mean it will be warm though!

How many people are there? Just curious as to the ratio of applications to successes

Probably about 40…I think. Look at the Air Cadet Music Services FB Page for some pictures from last year.

If so tell us how it was!

Unfortunately no - I had a holiday booked
