Band Vacancies
Are you after a new challenge or a player who has recently relocated to the Stockport area? If so, please get in touch and come to one of our rehearsals.
We welcome keen and accomplished players to join a friendly band with a good, manageable balance of concerts and contests. We are interested in genuine, enthusiastic bandsmen and women who are dedicated to music and with a true passion for playing.
Rehearsals are held twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays, from 8:00 – 10:00 pm) at Arden House, 1 Shepley Lane, Marple, Stockport SK6 7JW (just behind The Rope Race). They are industrious, but lots of fun. We can provide an instrument or you can use your own.
Become part of a friendly, affable team with plenty of post-finale socialising opportunities!
If you are interested in joining a dynamic and fun band, you can see our current vacancies on our Band Members page or contact the Band Secretary for more details.
