Hi Joshua
We have classically trained pianists within the Countess of Wessex's String Orchestra.
We also have keyboard players within other Regular Army Bands for the Rock/Pop band capability. Those musicians also play another instrument in the marching band.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rob, This is great to hear as I had previously only imagined that the ensemble was without keys ... Have seen you all in action at various locations and am mightily impressed.. Good JOB!!!!
