Please get in contact with us if you could fill one of these vacancies. Don't worry if you play another instrument - we can add you to our waiting list and contact you if a vacancy comes up or we need temporary cover for engagements!

​

In some cases we are able to lend instruments to members if they are available. We have plenty of percussion instruments for use in BCWB rehearsals to save transporting lots of equipment.

​

Joining Process

​

BCWB does not hold formal auditions to join any of the bands at present. Instead, based on your ability/grade, we will invite you to come along to rehearsals at one of our bands for a few weeks for you to get a feel for the band and its level. If you and the conductor feel the fit is right you will be invited to become a permanent member.

​

Subscription Fees

​

The subscription fee for Bristol Concert Wind Band, Blown Away! and Winds of Change is £40 per quarter which can be made preferably by standing order, or cheque or cash.

 

The standard fee for members of the learner course is £5 per week. As a not-for-profit organisation this fee covers the cost of tuition, rehearsal venue hire and investment in sheet music, instruments and any other equipment that is required.
