The Royal Marines School of Music is the professional headquarters of the Royal Marines Band Service and is responsible for all training, musical and military, of musicians and buglers for the Royal Navy. Whilst you can hear on this recording the high standards achieved at the School, probably less well-known is the military requirements placed on the Band Service by the Royal Navy. Throughout its long and varied history, musicians and buglers have always had a military role. Indeed, during the Second World War, one quarter of the musicians serving in the Naval Service lost their lives, whilst serving in the gunnery sections onboard HM Ships. More latterly, Bands have served in the Falklands, Iraq, Kosovo and a number are currently preparing to deploy to Afghanistan as part of 3 Commando Brigade, serving alongside their General Service counterparts in a variety of roles.
