More about our three bands
Main Band
In March 2016 the Main Band competed in the North West Regional Brass Band Competition for the fourth time. We achieved our highest placing to date and we believe our standard of performance has improved as a result.
Main Band rehearses every Monday evening 7:30-9:00pm in the bandroom at the Conservative Club, Crown Square, Penrith CA11 7AB
Intermediate Band
- have graduated from Training Band
- haven’t played for a while and want to brush off the cobwebs
- have experience playing in an orchestra or band on a non-brass instrument
Intermediate Band is not just a bridge between Training and Main Band. It is very much a band in its own right with its own repertoire and concert schedule.
We meet on alternate Thursdays from 6:45-7:45pm.
Training Band
We encourage parents to learn alongside their children, rather than sitting in the car!
Members of our Main Band offer free tuition to new players. On Training Band evenings, they sit alongside and help the new players to develop musical and band skills.
The Training Band has its own programme of events. This gives our beginners valuable experience of the teamwork that goes into a brass band.
Everything will be provided for you, free of charge, from an instrument to uniform, music and tuition.
We meet on alternate Thursdays from 6:15-6:45pm
