How many have you got in your band?

As I am sure you will be aware by now, I am a little bit involved with a youth organisation known as the Nautical Training Corps. As you should be aware, I am with Training Ship Intrepid.



In recent months I have been helping/ hindering one of our sister ships, TS Sturdy with their band. Last year, Sturdy's commanding officer, Graham, helped us set up our percussion section. In return, I started going over to them in February. When I started over there, they had a similar number of cadets in their band to us (around 8 to 10).



I went their tonight (as usual) to find TWENTY members of their band! That is more than Intrepid's entire ship's company. How dare they!!!

In all seriousness, it's a testament to the fantastic job that Graham, and his officers are doing. But it doesn't forgive thge fact that they've got three million cadets, and we've only got 12! Swines!
