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. |
Joining the band
|
We're often approached by musicians asking if they can join the band and we welcome musicians of all ages and standards. Of course, we have to consider band size and balance so please look below for details of any vacancies in the Littlehampton Concert Band.
We aim to perform music in the ‘Medium’ range of difficulty, typically with concert-band grades of between 2.5 and 4.5. Whilst there is no minimum standard or qualification required to join, as a guide, players would need to be of a level at least equivalent to ABRSM grade 4 (ideally grade 5 or above) to cope with the demands of the music. We perform a number of concerts each year and members are expected to conform to the Band dress code for these events. Current vacancies (5th June 2025):
