Join us!

South Berks Concert Band is a true community band. Players are drawn from all spheres of the community and membership is open to all. New members are always welcome to try us out. No auditions are held. However, due to the standard of music we play, we recommend that players are at least Grade 6 standard. The best way to find out if we are the band for you is to come along and give us a try! Please let us know if you would like to come to a rehearsal so we can make sure we have music and a chair ready for you.

We are pleased to have welcomed several new band members recently, but we currently have space for a 1st trombone player. We are looking for someone who is willing to work with the rest of the section to cover parts, but primarily to play 1st trombone alongside another player, including taking on some of the solos. You will need to be a good sight reader, confident player, and probably of grade 7-8 standard, or higher.

We are happy for individuals to come and try us out on other instruments for a couple of rehearsals but you may then be added to a waiting list pending a vacancy should you wish to join.

We rehearse every Friday evening from 7.45pm until 10.00pm throughout the year, with the exception of Christmas, and Good Friday, and August. We have a break during rehearsals when refreshments are provided. After rehearsals members are welcome to visit the local pub for a drink and a chat before going home.
​At Christmas we organise a meal or other social activity.
