Reflecting on the event CEO, Mark Bromley said on the band's Facebook page: "A huge thank you from the Band to the people that made the NCBBGB 2024 course as brilliant as it was!

Thank you to our mentors for always leading by example, our house staff for always making our recreational time fun and making sure we're always fit and ready for rehearsal, our phenomenal music tutors for inspiring and helping us achieve our full potential throughout the week."
