AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE CADETS 3WG BAND Happy Easter all! Welcome to the 3WG Band Newsletter number 2! It has been a very busy time since we last sent an email out! Update on Musicians Course We are currently working with our HQ to arrange a Musician’s Course. I am hoping for the July school holidays, but naturally this is dependent on a number of factors. Once we have the activity confirmed and loaded in C1, you will be the first to know! Instrumentation We have been blown away at the response we have had!! Since the last newsletter our numbers have grown a lot! And from a large number of Squadrons across the Wing! Currently, our interested instruments are: Flute x 4 Oboe x 1 Clarinet x 4 Bassoon x 1 Alto Sax x 3 Tenor Sax x 2 Trumpet x 4 Trombone x 3 Baritone x 2 Bass Guitar x 2 Percussion x 5 This is an incredible response! However we still have a number of vacancies on Bass Clarinet, Baritone Sax, French Horn, Trombone and Tuba. If you know of any cadets who play these and are interested in the band, please let me know, or pass on my details to them! Music Folders Thanks to the kind donation by the NSW AIRTC association, we have been able to start building our music folders. We aim to have at least 15 charts to work on during our first Musicians Course. Promotion Courses As you know, the July school holidays are also when 3WG will be holding JNCO / SNCO / CWOFF promotion courses. Can each cadet please reply to me and advise me if they are also nominating for promotion courses during this time. The same for any flying courses etc. This will not discount you from the band, but simply give us an idea on who might be attending the July Musician’s Course. Next steps Stay tuned for further information. We will endeavour to send out information regularly regarding the 3WG Band. If you have any questions, thoughts, ideas or suggestions, please feel free to contact FLGOFF(AAFC) Simon on 0408 486 859 or [email protected] Kind Regards, Ben Simon FLGOFF(AAFC) 3WG Band 312 SQN 0408 486 859 [email protected]
