What do you like about your job and the company?

On a daily basis, 1000s travel to London to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Being able to perform regularly to a large audience gives any musician a feeling of achievement. I also like that Army musicians have the opportunity to travel. I have performed in Bermuda, Japan, USA and Canada, to name a few. I have also performed live on stage with Robbie Williams, Rod Stewart and Alicia Dixon.

Greatest achievements

The Queen’s Birthday Parade is probably the largest ‘gig’ of the year for Army Musicians. Being able to perform many times in front of HM The Queen has been a career highlight.

Throughout selection and training things will not always go your way, it is designed to be tough and challenge you to give you the tools and know how to succeed in the challenging job as a soldier. It is vitally important that when you have a tough day you have the drive and determination to get up go again and get better. Anyone can do this as long as you give yourself the right mindset.
