🎺 Good luck to WO2 Smith and Cpl Thomas at the National Finals tomorrow! 🪊

As Army Reservists, many of our musicians are also involved in bands outside the Army Reserve. Tomorrow Band PSWO, WO2 Smith (tenor horn), and Cpl Thomas (Eb bass) will be taking to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall with Desford Colliery Band for the Championship Section Final of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain!

This year is an especially exciting one, as Desford Colliery Band return to London as defending National Champions following their win in 2025 🏆

They will be competing once again against some of the finest brass bands in the country - and we’ll be cheering them on from Darlington. Very best of luck for tomorrow! 🎶💜
