The Mendip Hills were alive with the sound of the Welsh Guards music, on Tuesday 2nd December. The soldiers spent the morning singing at Downside School - with Director of Music, Christopher Tambling - before instructing pupils in military drill practise, during the afternoon. 

We wish them luck with their new choir as they look ahead to their anniversary performances in 2015.
