Anonymous asked a question to Caitlin B.
Hi, yes we do. All serving personnel are soldiers first, so we have to meet certain fitness and soldiering requirements and maintain these standards throughout your career. Fitness is assessed every 6 months and the other requirements are on an annual basis. As you can imagine, as musicians we don't have to be as fit as others within the British Army, but you are expected to maintain a basic level. As musicians, we also still have to complete the same basic training as any other solider.
