DEVON and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service’s Ceremonial Unit is searching for new members.

The Corps of Drums is looking for male and female experienced drummers or buglers, particularly ex armed forces or ex cadet bands.

People can be involved if they show the potential to learn through dedicated practice and will be able to join the team in displays, ceremonies, and parades, including the Firefighters Memorial parade in London and Armistice Day parades in Ypres, Belgium.

The Corps have recently returned from the Bremen International Tattoo.

The Corps meet every Tuesday for rehearsals at Service Headquarters, Exeter.

Some transport is provided from other areas such as Plymouth, Torquay, Exeter and Wellington.

If you have played the drums or bugle, or would like to try, call Dave Morley or Ian Washburn on 07932 215731 or email thedrummajor@mail.com
