Band Outreach Project with The Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band

The Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band, led by Band Master, Ben James, delivered a Band Outreach Project at Devils Tower Camp.

The project included ensemble performances with the regiment band demonstrating all the different types of music they are required to perform including Marches, Fanfares and music for more solemn events e.g. performing at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The band also demonstrated contemporary rock and pop music and film scores.

The students heard a collection of short talks from each instrumental specialist, where they learned about the history, design, the role in the orchestra and the military of each instrument.

Students also took part in a marching exercise alongside the royal military band of Colchester, who were visiting as part of the Kings birthday celebrations.
