Music and Band

Air Cadets offers the opportunity to join band and learn an instrument in many of our local Squadrons.  These programs are usually instructed by a qualified member of the community who works under the Commanding Officer as part of the training program.  Our bands may range from military (bass and drum), Drum and Bugle, or Pipe Bands (bagpipes).  Most citizens will likely have seen an Air Cadet band in their local parades and community events.  Along with learning instruments and music theory, band members learn proper marching drills and compete in friendly competitions with other Cadet bands and, sometimes, in regular competitions with other bands from the community, high schools or private clubs. The local Squadron provides the instruments, music and supplies to Air Cadets at no cost.
