A great recording of Czardas beautifully played by our Permanent Staff Instructor WO2 Bob Ghigi from our recent concert in Bicester. Czardas is a composition by Italian composer Vittorio Monti; a rhapsodical concert piece written in 1904. It is a well-known folkloric piece based on a Hungarian csárdás, originally composed for violin, mandolin or piano. With great thanks for the recording to Mr M Hankins.

A brass quintet and 2 buglers from the Waterloo Band and Salamanca Band had the great honour of playing for this ceremony yesterday. It's engagements like this that make all Army musicians and buglers value their jobs!

The Band & Bugles were pleased to perform a concert for the Mayor of Bicester on Saturday night. To a packed St Edburgs church we performed a Last Night of the Proms-style finale complete with flags! The concert showcased solos from talented musicians within the band. For your diaries, the Band & Bugles will be back in Bicester in the summer, performing at Garth Park on Saturday July 7th for the Bicester World War 1 Centenary concert, raising money for SSAFA and Soldiers of Oxfordshire.

The Director of Music was proud to present 3 members of the Band & Bugles with bars to their Long Service Good Conduct medals at the Lord Mayors Charity Concert in Bicester last night. Congratulations all! Photographs by M Hankins
