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.

At present we are unable to accept new members due to social distancing requirements within our reharsal venue. However, when restrictions are reduced we expect to be able to offer vacancies for flute and trumpet/ cornet players. We are normally happy for individuals to come and try us out on other instruments for a couple of rehearsals however 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, 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.
