The Training Band

This band is made up of novice musicians with little or no experience of playing an instrument or reading music. The band is underpinned by an extensive training and teaching programme that guides the musicians towards their Grade 1 & 2 practical and theory music exams.

Although encouraged, it is not essential for Training Band members to take music exams as Training Band has an emphasis on the fun-side of music making. Normally, as musicians progress to Grade 2, and at the discretion of the Musical Directors, individuals advance into the Spectrum band.
Uniform.
