They amazed and delighted all who watched with renditions of the Dambusters, Michael Buble, music from The Wizard of Oz and Wicked and even The Final Countdown.

The band consisted of 25 members of active serving military personnel. The band has played some high profile events including The Queen's funeral and the coronation of King Charles lll. They will also be part of the VE Day parade celebrating 80 years since the end of World War 2.
