Membership
We are currently recruiting and have open spaces for you to join! Whittlesey Concert Band welcomes new players of all ages who would like to join a friendly and dedicated group of wind musicians. Auditions are not required but we do ask players to be a standard of Grade 4 or above. The band would particularly like to recruit oboe, 2nd French horn, 2nd cornet/trumpet, trombone bass clef, tuba base clef, double bass and 2nd percussion players although other instrumentalists may also be welcomed.
Weekly rehearsals are treated as a time for relaxation and socialising as well as focused work in order to achieve a good standard of performance. Members are expected to attend all required rehearsals where possible. Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings from 7.45 – 9.15 pm at the Methodist / United Reformed Church, Whitttlesey and all members pay £10 per month via Standing Order to cover rent, insurance and the cost of new music. There is a large free car park 1 minute walk from the venue.
If you are interested in becoming a member of Whittlesey Concert Band or would like to find out more information please email us on whittleseycb@gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you there!

Our subscriptions are important as we are small and establishing band, they help to cover our weekly rehearsal costs. We would like you to note that we also rely on paid performances for income and to keep subscriptions at an affordable level. Please be prepared to be available for as many of our scheduled concerts and rehearsals as possible. Plenty of notice is always given.
