| Surrey Wing Band made its first public performance |
Cadets from Surrey Wing Air Training Corps helped to entertain the crowds at the recent Royal Air Force musical salute to the Queen’s Jubilee.
The event at Loseley Park near Guildford was the first public performance of the recently formed Surrey Wing Band. The band opened the concert with a host of recognisable tunes, impressing the crowd despite their lack of experience as Sergeant Kirsty Witchell, the Wing Bandmaster explained, “Some had only been learning for two or three months. With one rehearsal a month, some of them have only played the drum two or three times, so they did brilliantly.” She added, “For a first performance I was really impressed, they were very nervous but they pulled it off.”
