West Bergholt Concert Band
WBCB 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
The band can be contacted through its conductor, Graham by email at [antibot mailto=”[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).
