music
Getting involved in music is a great way of socialising and of promoting the RAFAC wherever you play to the public. If you show real talent you could take your playing to the next level in wing, regional and national bands where our best players perform at public events often at some very prestigious locations such as Buckingham Palace!
The main National camps are arranged by Air Cadets HQ and takes the form of a week’s work experience with one of the two professional RAF Bands based at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire: the Band of the RAF College or the Band of the RAF Regiment. Sharing a stage with the best musicians in the RAF is a priceless experience!
You can also do a BTEC qualifications in Music and turn your fun and talent into a formal qualification.
