Hi there, thanks for your question.
Gurkha musicians follow a slightly different selection process to the rest of the Corps of Army Music.
You can find out how to apply as a Gurkha here:

The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas are based in Folkestone in the South East of the UK and are a Symphonic Wind Band consisting of wind, brass and percussion players, as well as their popular group the Hill Boys.
You can find out more about the band here:

I hope that helps answer your question, and do let me know if I can help with any further information,
Bethan
