Marines Band Reunion

I attended Marines Band Reunion at the HMS Nelson Gym Last night. It was after my breaking of fast dinner, looking quite smart with my blazer and tie. Crossed over the road I had no clue weather I was late or early and apparently it was quite misty tonight and dark. When I reached there, it was quiet and thank god it was still early. After sometimes, the Band flocked in together and I was chatting with them before they went in for the parade.

It was reunion for the Marines Band and most of the ex Marines Band who attended the function were the seniors who joined as early as in 1940’s. I sat down right at the front row and watched the Band parading up and down. It was around 45 minutes show non stop and it was smashing!. I really enjoyed the night and we moved to Senior Rates for Booze…. Haahaha… They boys were feeling so relieve after the parade and seemed quite excited. BZ to them.

At 2130H, Andrew Spratt waited outside Wardroom gate and I got myself with Jeans and T shirt and with the rest of the boys, we headed to town for clubbing. This would be my first time and I thought it would be a good idea to socialize and breaking the ice with the others. Went to Weatherspoon, Babylon and the last pub which I didn’t know its name. Met another Brunei colleague over there. We started with the crowds and slowly everyone disappeared including Spratt that I could not see him around and I ended up with this chap named Beets, I guess. He is funny though and we stayed until half three and walked home as the boys would be having memorial service in the morning.
