About this event
As Principal Director of Music and on behalf of the Royal Marines Band Service, I would like to invite serving and former serving members of the RMBS and their family members to join us at the 2025 reunion weekend.
This annual opportunity to get together with the wider band-service family, to meet old friends, make new ones and share a few dits, is a highlight of the year and I very much hope you’ll join us.
The event will take place at HMS King Alfred again this year. The junior band of the Royal Marines School of Music will perform a ceremonial marching display as well as providing entertainment in the bar, where you’ll also be able to enjoy a drink and some food.
Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you there!
Kind Regards,
Lt Col. Huw Williams RM
PDM
