Hi
Yes, you can join one of the 19 reserve Bands in the British Army Reserve.
Reserve musicians get paid to play music to a high standard, in their spare time, with like-minded people from all walks of life. You’ll get to meet new friends while improving your overall musicianship and gain both civilian and military qualifications. You will be offered fantastic opportunities to travel too!
All rehearsals and band engagements are paid daily rates of pay with travel expenses and you will even earn holiday pay.
Army Reservists also qualify for an Army pension (pro rata). Furthermore, you will be rewarded for your commitment to the Band, with a tax-free Training Bounty at the end of each financial year! (There are some conditions for this).
Hope that helps!
