Cadet Jacob Wall of Aldergrove plays the trumpet as part of the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre Basic Military Band that provided the music at the graduation parade for the second intake of the two week General Military training course.
Jacob Wall is a member of 1922 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, Aldergrove/Abbotsford.
Cadets enrolled in band courses focus almost exclusively on music training to improve their skills with their chosen instruments, but they also have time for recreational swims, team sports and visits to Vernon.
During the summer, more than 1,100 Army, Sea, and Air Cadets from western Canada spend up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.
