Playing at the Nationals?

Just think how much you would earn if you got paid for rehearsals?
AND got paid travel expenses?

That can become a reality as a part time musician in the Army Reserve!

You can still play in your current band,
You can do both!

Taking Silver Bugles to Silverstone!
This weekend the Waterloo Band & Bugles were at the Silverstone Circuit supporting the Rifleman's Association Family Gala.

It was a fabulous evening to celebrate the work of those going above and beyond to help Riflemen in need...

Here is a clip from The Band & Bugles performing their Cabaret Marching Band display, another example of the varied engagements we are invited to attend as Army Reserve musicians.
