an evening`s music-making. We would particularly welcome a 1st baritone and a couple of trombones.

The Training Band meets for practice every Thursday, from 6.15pm until 7.15pm
prior to the Main Band rehearsal. Any Training Band members wishing to sit in
with the Main Band are encouraged to do so once they feel confident.
Younger members normally leave at 8.30pm.

The minimum qualification required is that players must be able to read and play
the scale of C Major. Members are expected to practise regularly. It will clearly be
an advantage if they are also taking individual instrumental lessons.

Aims of the Training Band

1. To enable players to make music in company with others
2. To promote good playing technique
3. To familiarise players with being conducted.
4. To improve music reading skills
