Congratulations to Musn Matt Collis who passed out of training on Friday 5 August. Matt who played 1st Euphonium with Fulbourn & Teversham RBL Brass Band joined the Royal Marines Band Service after leaving Bottisham Village Collage and completing 2 years Uniformed & Public Services at Cambridge Regional College.
Matt's 3 years training has been on Clarinet and Violin where he has just been awarded most improved Clarinet and Violin in his year, not bad for someone who had never played either instrument before joining.
Matt is pictured below with sister Helen who is also a member of the branch after the ceremony held at Portsmouth Guildhall. The ceremony was concluded with a Beating of Retreat on the Guildhall Square by over 80 musicians.
