"What a weekend. I would like to congratulate you all for the way you entered into the weekend. Your dedication, commitment, professionalism and music ability are second to none. For the older members of our band it brought back many happy memories of when we were a bugle band. You all showed this weekend why you are The Traditional Youth Marching Bands Association National Class Champions - my band and I would not dispute this fact. All weekend I have had many complimentary comments about you from members of the public, military and event organisers. Thank you - it would be a pleasure to work with you again."
John Wyndham MBE, Band Director of The Royal British Legion Youth Band Brentwood. June 2008


"A big thank you to the buglers of the 17th Tonbridge for once again joining with the Surrey County Band at the CCF Annual General Inspection at Caterham School. I can always count on the highest quality of bugle playing from the17th and, combined with the brass and woodwind of our band, produces a sound to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up."
David Minney, Bandmaster of The Surrey County Band St John Ambulance. April 2008


"I write with grateful thanks to you and your team for a first class performance. Our members always remind me how important you are to our service."
Ann Amos, Organiser of the Chart Sutton Memorial Service to a 2nd World War Fighter Pilot.


"I have just got home and before I do anything else I must thank you and the Band for their brilliant performance. I have had so many people coming up to me saying how wonderful you were, who obviously had never seen a Scout Band of such quality. I hope you felt that our event was worthy of all your hard work, as it certainly lifted our event on to a new plane. I hope our paths will cross again, and if you are doing any competitions that I can get to, I shall be more than pleased to come along. With my thanks and very best wishes to everyone."
Don Bevan, Event Manager of Scoutfest 100 - Celebrating 100 years of Scouting in South London.
