Aged 10+ ? Join The Senior Band

Being a member of the Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps requires commitment and dedication but is a truly worthwhile hobby.

Membership of the band is open to boys and girls up to the age of 21.

Whilst there is not a requirement for new members to have previous musical experience it is certainly an advantage. All new members whether beginners or experienced players will have access to professional music teachers to assist them in learning.

Marching is taught immediately to all new members in order for them to participate in band shows as soon as possible. Uniforms and instruments are provided on free loan.

Aged 8-10? – Join The Academy

In October 2018 the band launched a new recruitment drive for the RDTC Academy aimed at younger aspiring musicians from the age of 8+ years.  The academy will provide one hours tuition in music and drill on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Membership to the academy is free, as is the instrument on loan. The academy is being run as a entry route to the main band in a few years time, however we cater for the younger childrens needs so they can enjoy their learning of new skills.

The academy has proved to be very popular – currently, 30+ younger members are leatning through our academy.  We still have some instruments available athough we anticipate soon having a waiting list to join. Instruction in music is provided by expeirenced musicians, along with professional teachers.

Band members are expected to attend all practices, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with the additional practices as required and once in uniform all shows. We currently rehearse at Former Ingrebourne School, Taunton Road, Harold Hill, Essex, RM3 7SU.
