The Concert Band has grown and now has over 20 players. We have a wide repertoire ranging from classical to modern light music and a touch of jazz when the mood takes us.
The line up of a Concert Band is Flutes, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinets, Saxophones, Trumpets, Horns, Trombones, Euphonium, Tuba, Bass Guitar and various percussion instruments. If you play one of these instruments you would be most welcome to come to one of our rehearsals to join in or just watch. We have about 20 players at the moment but we can always do with more. We have players of all standards ranging from beginners to some who have played since childhood. We currently have a flute an Eb Bass (Tuba) and a bass clarinet available for anyone who hasn't an instrument of their own and would be willing to play one.
Our motto when playing in public is "Simple music played well! "
In December 2023 we were asked to participate in a TV program, Christmas in the Cotswolds. The program is available on catch up until December 2028 on My5 for channel 5 if you have a free account.
