Probably one of the most experienced wind bands in Britain - arguably in the world - this album of fresh recordings presents the accumulation of over 1,500 years of combined military band expertise. The recordings are deliberately Royal Marine and emphasise many of the traditional, all-time favourites of concert goers and record collectors. Once A Marine .... is the band's first CD and the title track has been specially composed and dedicated to the band by former Royal Marines director of music Ray Woodfield. The tracks are:
1. A Life On The Ocean Wave - Russell arr Alford
2. Plymouth Hoe - Ansell
3. The Captain General - Dunn
4. The Padstow Lifeboat - Arnold
5. Peter Rabbit and Tales of Beatrix Potter - Lanchbery arr Siebert
