Current Requirements

Trinity Concert Band welcomes all experienced players of high standard (at least Grade 6). You are welcome to apply to join us by contacting us at trinityband@hotmail.co.uk.

Rehearsals

Trinity Concert Band rehearses at Trinity Church, Lower Earley on Tuesday evenings 7:45 – 9:45.

Player Standards

All players are welcome to start immediately provided that there is a suitable vacancy.  If there is no current vacancy then you can join our waiting list. Players need to be a reasonable standard as the band does not offer individual training. Reasonable standard is defined as having a minimum of Grade 6 (or equivalent standard), being a reasonable sight reader and having some ensemble playing experience. Players will be given a trial period of up to 3 months. There will be no formal audition – the trial period simply provides an opportunity for both parties to check their mutual suitability. Standard/suitability will be reviewed by the Musical Director and relevant section leader.

What to expect

At the new player’s first rehearsal, you will be welcomed and made aware of the guidelines for joining, i.e. standard, review, trial period and subscriptions. If you are accepted, after the 3 month trial period, you will be asked to pay relevant subscriptions (proportionate to the yearly fee based on the month of joining) and provided with a suitable uniform.
