Making the best use of our facilities is important.
These are some of the other groups that make music at the bandroom:
RAF St Athan Corps of Drums
Accompanying the RAF St Athan Voluntary Band at many engagements is the very professional RAF St Athan Corps of Drums. Formed in 1988 by Alan Bourne and under the guidance of Derrick White, the Corps of Drums co-ordinates the role of parade Side Drummer. The Corps of Drums meet every Tuesday evening to learn more and rehearse the marches and ceremonial repertoire used by the Band at engagements. The Corps of Drums have also devised a Drum display which they perform between marches at concerts and many outside venues throughout the year.
RAF St Athan Training Band
To compliment the very high standard of RAF St Athan Voluntary Band we have a training band which affords those musicians experience in ensemble playing, group tuition, music theory - all in the hope that they will progress into the Voluntary Band. This group splits into three ensembles - Beginners, the Junior Band and the Youth Band. We meet on Tuesday nights and has in its own right attended a number of very successful engagements. Each group can also provide valuable teaching and conducting experience to those musicians who wish to develop their skills further.
Fanfare Trumpet Team
The band has a team of fanfare trumpeters available to make an occasion a bit more memorable. The trumpeters can be engaged on their own or with the band.
Flute Groups
Two flute groups make use of the bandroom, High Winds for the senior players and Light Breeze for the juniors. Both are run by Joyce Carter and have undertaken a number of engagements in and around the Vale of Glamorgan. |
