The band gave a very impressive performance and came away as runner-ups by just 0.3 of a mark. Well done to all involved especially the band staff, PO (SCC) R Whitwell and PO (SCC) K Steele.
The High Sheriff of Dorset, Mr Alan Frost held his Summer Reception at Bournemouth University where the unit band played to local dignitaries. Cadets collected donations which were shared with the High Sheriffs charity, the Police safe bus project based in Bournemouth.?
