LASER Marching Band Weekend - by Cdt Newman

Recently I was selected to play in the LASER Marching Band at RAF Halton. I'm used to playing my trumpet in an orchestra but never thought that I would be marching at the same time! All of our practicing took place in uniform within a huge hangar. The instructors were approachable and kept learning fun.

All of the food was really tasty and was just what I needed after a long, eventful day of learning. The accommodation was also great with parties on the second night with disco lights and speakers! Also there were very good supplies for polishing shoes and ironing. Overall it was a great trip and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with any musical skills and decent foot drill.
