Vacancies will be filled by a combination of recruitment and promotion. Seven successful candidates from the most recent recruitment campaign for instrumentalists are currently undergoing recruit training and upon completion of same will join the School of Music at Private rank. Additionally, the interview stage of a recently concluded Direct Entry competition for Band Conductor (Captain) will commence shortly.
