West Bergholt Concert Band
The Concert Band runs two bands, a Concert and a Training band, and welcomes new members who will typically be grade 2 or higher on their preferred instrument. The bands rehearse in Heathlands School every Friday evening during school term-time as follows:
- Training Band – 6.00 – 7.00pm
- Concert Band – 7.00 – 9.00pm
They normally perform five concerts a year, all of which raise money for various charities. They also run Open Rehearsals every year (no charge) where you can come along and see if it is something you would like to do.
The band can be contacted through its conductor, Graham by email at [email protected] or on 01206 824157.
The band also has its own comprehensive website at http://www.wbcb.org/ with links to some of their music (well worth a listen).
