Music
Music is a very popular activity within the Air Cadets. It is a great way to socialise with other like-minded Cadets and promote the RAFAC wherever you play. If you show real talent, you may be able to take your playing to a Wing or Regional level, or even the National Marching Band. Possibly the most distinguished group of musicians is the National Concert Band, where the best of the best perform at public events, often at some very prestigious locations!
There are also opportunities for Music camps. The first is organised by HQAC, usually during the February half-term, for the National Concert Band. It takes the form of a week's work experience with one of the two RAF bands located at RAF Cranwell: Band of the RAF College, or the Band of the RAF Regiment. The remainder of Music camps are usually related to specific events
For those who would like to gain a formal qualification from their musical skills, there is the opportunity to gain a BTEC qualification: First Diploma in Performing Arts (Music)
Below is a list of the standard band instruments:
