Latest News from the Band

2010 Queen's Scouts Parade - Windsor Castle

Queen's Scouts Parade, Windsor Castle

Following our Annual MOT Inspection by the regional County Band Adviser, our Drum Section was selected to provide a Corps of Drums for the National Scout Service and Queen's Scouts Parade, which is held at Windsor Castle, in front of HRH The Prince of Wales, and the Chief Scout, Bear Grylls.

Music for the Parade was provided by the Band of the Grenadier Guards and the 3rd Davyhulme Scout & Guide Band from Manchester. Our Corps of Drums provided drum beatings for other parts of the Parade, to help the marching Queen's Scouts keep step.

And in 2011, the whole band may be able to attend.

The rest of the band played at the Enfield and Haringey St George's Day Parades, with former EDSB drummers Jim Heatley and Mark Ewington coming back to help us out.

About the band - NOW RECRUITING!

The band is a traditional style corps of drums and consists of two drum majors, four side drummers, two bass drummers, two cymbalists, two glockenspiel players, one xylophone player, one marimba player, eight buglers and one bass bugler. We are currently recruiting for the bugle section of the band.

Do you run a Scout Group or Guide Company, in Enfield? We can run a whole evening for one of your sections, you can win from being able to sit back and have a laugh, and we can win by attracting new members to the Band. Your young people will learn drill and marching (useful for St George's Day and Church Parades), and get the chance to play a tune on a glockenspiel, bang the drums and blow a bugle!

Contact our Bandmaster, Richard Bennett, to book the Band for an event, or ask him for more information about joining us as a playing member (if you are under 14, you would need to be a member of the Scout or Guide Associations. 14 or over, you can be a Band only, Explorer Scout).
