Why not join our Band.
Whiston Brass, like most brass bands, can always accommodate more players. We are a non-competitive teaching band but have a very busy concert schedule. At the moment we are looking for cornet players, but we would love to see players from all sections. We encourage all players, both men and women, and have a strong youth policy. Players of all ages/abilities are welcome. If you or someone you know can't play an instrument but would like to learn, please contact John on 01709 375800 - we are happy to teach complete beginners of any age.
The Band has a number of players who, owing to work /family commitments, cannot totally accommodate the very busy Band schedule but do their best to attend concerts and rehearsals when they can. These include the Brown Family - dad Rob (B Flat Bass) and sons Nick (Percussion) and Cameron (Tenor Horn); also Alan Robinson (Bass Trombone),
We practise on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at the Manorial Barn Whiston. The Junior Band rehearsal is 7.00 - 7.45pm and the Senior Band rehearsal is 8.00 - 9.30pm.
The Junior Band (or the Barn Brass Ensemble as it should be known) welcomes players of all ages with quite a few of the senior players having started there.
You don't have to have any knowledge of brass or music as we start players from scratch with professional music teachers. So contact the Band and you could soon be part of Whiston Brass!
