What do we play?
|
The band has a wide range of music in its repertoire and we play something to appeal to a
wide range of tastes, including marches, fanfares, medleys, classics, television themes, film scores, West-end shows etc.. The list is extensive and we are adding to it all the time. The music we play is of varied technical standard, so that there is plenty of enjoyment and challenge for the beginner and experienced musician alike. We encourage our members and friends to suggest new pieces. Why not have a look through our library to see what music we have. |
