Campbell College Combined Cadet Force has the distinction of having its own corps of Bugles, Pipes and Drums.
Pre-Cadets are eligible to join the Corps as Junior Bandsmen in Years 8 and 9, receiving expert tuition in the instrument of their choice. Commitment and practice allows bandsmen to progress through the ranks receiving promotions and appointments within the Corps.
There are numerous opportunities to rehearse, train, practice and perform as both individuals and as a Corps of Bugles, Pipes and Drums at various cadet camps, dinners, open days and other College occasions such as the Combined Cadet Force Regimental Dinners. Prominent among these is Remembrance Sunday, where cadets have played the last post at venues such as the national assembly at Stormont, the Somme Nursing Home and the Colleges' own service.
The Pipers and Drums also play to a high standard at piping and Drumming events including the All Ireland Pipe Band Contest.
Cadets in the Bugles, Pipes and Drums can also train in other sections of the Cadet Force and aspire to higher ranks and appointments, attending Annual Summer Camp where the full panoply of infantry training is available.
