"Just a quick email to say 'thank you' for the presence of the Buglers from the 17th Tonbridge Scout & Guide Band.  They were absolutely excellent and a credit to Scouting. The way they played for the Sunset Ceremony helped finish the Inspection on a very appropriate note (no pun intended!). Please pass on my thanks to the individuals concerned. I hope that you will be able to let them attend with the Surrey County SJAB Band next year." 
Kevin Bage, Wg Cdr, Contingent Commander, Caterham School CCF. May 2009.

“I watched the band from the Quadrangle and I thought they looked and sounded brilliant.”
“They gave such a professional and polished performance.”
“It was wonderful to see your young people displaying such professionalism and musicianship, and setting such a terrific example.”
“We were standing right near the gate as the band came out, and so many people said how fantastic they were.  An old Scout Leader from Scotland said they were the best band he’d ever seen.”
Feedback after the bands performance at The National St.George's Day Parade at Windsor Castle. April 2009

"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."
