Bands of the Royal Marines Volunteer Cadet Corps

Musical Training has been part of the RMVCC syllabus since the early 1900s and has recently been reinvigorated, growing from just a handful of band cadets several years ago to three Bands now thriving and rapidly expanding bands based at Gosport, Plymouth and Rosyth.

 

In addition to our two cadet nights a week, we are often found around the local area and beyond, performing in the traditional ceremonial blue uniforms as worn by the Bands of HM Royal Marines (a privilege granted to very few outside of the Band Service). Our bands have been building an excellent reputation and recently have been invited to perform at a range of events such as Armed Forces Day, Remembrance Parades, concerts and providing musical support to the Volunteer Cadet Corps. If you are interested in inviting one of our bands to your event, please get in touch at the appropriate email address at the bottom of this page. In return for the performance from either a full band, small ensemble or Corps of Drums, we may ask for a donation to cover costs and provide much-needed funds to keep our bands running.
