The band performs
a mixed repetoire of music including:
- Full Marching
Band
- Corps of Drums
- Concert Wind Band
- Bavarian Band
playing traditional German beerkeller music
- Brass Band
- Traditional Swing Band
With such a large
geographical spread the band holds rehearsals only during the winter
months, members are therefore expected to be of a proficient musical
standard. Further rehearsals are usually held on the day of concerts.
The band is fortunate to have several practising music tutors within
its ranks and can offer private tuition at a cost to those keen
to join but not confident at sight reading (depending on location).
- There are no annual fees to
pay
- The band will provide all uniforms
and has a large store of instruments that can be borrowed
- The cost of trips abroad is
heavily subsidised by the band.
- Transport is available to most
engagements
The band understands
players may have commitments to other bands and therefore operates
a flexible attendance policy. We typically expect members to attend
a minimum of 10 engagements a year that can be freely chosen by
the player.
More importantly,
new members can expect to join a fun and sociable group that enjoy
making music.
