Music Bands and Bugles
The Bands and Bugles of The Rifles uphold traditions dating back as far as the Napoleonic Wars. Instead of using the cumbersome drum, the earliest Riflemen used bugles to communicate orders on the battlefield. The Bands have evolved a unique style of music to match The Rifles faster marching pace of 140 to the minute. For more information about the Bands and Bugles of The Rifles see contact details below.
