The St. Anne's College Western Cadet Band, who climbed to 4th in rank out of 42 at the 2023 All Island Western Cadet Band Competition, posed for a group photo. The team members are seen here alongside Reverend Father Principal Chandana Hapuarachchi and Teacher in-Charge Mrs. Ferdita Tennekoon.

Having secured the 5th position last year, they managed to move up one spot in the latest rankings. The event was organized by the National Cadet Corps (NCC) Sri Lanka and took place at the NCC Training Center in Rantambe.

This achievement adds to their success, having claimed the Air Force Challenge Trophy as winners of the Inter School Drill and Band Competition earlier this year. As the College Western Band continues to shine, a special reception was held at the College late last month in recognition of their impressive work.

We, the Annites family, wholeheartedly wish our Western Cadet Band to be able to reach even greater heights!

St. Anne's College's Western Cadet Band rose to 4th in rank out of 42 participants at the 2023 All Island Western Cadet Band Competition.

It is with great pleasure that we report the St. Anne's College Western Cadet Band has been crowned champion by claiming the Commander of the Air Force Challenge Trophy at the 2023 Inter School Drill and Band Competition organized by the Sri Lanka Air Force.

The final took place today (June 21) at Sri Lanka Air Force Base, Katunayake, where the Annites emerged victorious over Vidyarathna University College, Horana.

The band earned their place in the competition after being selected to represent the top 10 teams in last year's All Island Western Cadet Band Competition, held in Rantambe Cadet Training Center and was organized by National Cadet Corps (NCC).

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our students and everyone involved in contributing to yet another remarkable achievement that adds to the Annite legacy of success.
