Rehearsals

Picture
Current temporary rehearsal arrangements (as at January 2022 until further notice)

​Our main rehearsal night for all groups is currently on a Wednesday evening with the following timings :
  • 18:00 to 18:30 - 6 O'clock Brass (hopefully resuming rehearsals from early 2022)
  • 18:30 to 20:00 (exit period from 20:00 to 20:15) - The Progress Band
  • 20:15 to 21:45 (exit period from 21:45 to 22:00) - The Main Band

New players wishing to join us should view our vacancies page for awareness of current specific gaps.

Please contact the Membership Secretary (Hannah Leslie) in advance of attending any of the groups for the first time (via the email detailed on our Contact page).

Our rehearsals are temporarily based at Venue28 (location details below) :

Alternative arrangements to mitigate Covid-19 restrictions are currently in place 
(there are more details available in the Members area on this for our existing players). 

Experienced players are normally welcome to join the Main Band for a 'blow' - again please contact the Membership Secretary in advance, as rehearsal requirements occasionally vary (usually as we're approaching a contest or a major concert). 
The Progress Band operates an 'Open Door' policy where all brass players are welcome who are between Grade 3 and Grade 7 standard.


Please note that normal rehearsals (Pre-Covid) were based at the Crystal Palace Museum (details below):
(We hope to return there in the not too distant future - once ongoing Covid-19 restrictions regarding adequate ventilation are resolved)
