Army Cadet Music Concentration at Barry Buddon
By Lt James Wood
Members of the county force were at the Army Cadet Music Concentration at Barry Buddon Camp in Scotland.
With cadets and staff spread across almost every cadre including Three and Four Star qualifications and two adults completing their Basic Instructor Training and Assessment Course, the county was well represented!
Special mention goes to the following cadets: Cadet Emmanuela Edeh: Awarded Best Cadet, Junior Band Cadre.
Cadet Corporal (Cdt Cpl) Lorenzo Essor: Awarded Most Improved: 2* Corps of Drums and promoted to Sergeant.
Cdt George Coddington: Awarded Most Improved: 3* Corps of Drums and promoted to Cadet Lance Corporal (Cdt L/Cpl).
Cdt L/Cpl Coddington deserves special
mention as this was his first music camp but he showed such a high level of competency with the bugle that he was immediately moved up to the 3 Star Corps of Drums Cadre.
Since coming back, they have hit the ground running carrying on rehearsals for Remembrance events and preparing for a trip to London to perform at The National Army Museum and The Royal Hospital Chelsea for The Chelsea Pensioners.
If you are a cadet or adult and this piques your interest in Cadet Forces music keep your eyes open for details of future music camps! If you would like free music tuition visit your local detachment to find out more. Even if it isn't a specific music detachment, we are opening up opportunities for all cadets to get involved.
