Date Posted: Wed, 30 Jul 2025
As the new academic year approaches, Nantwich Concert Band is once again inviting local musicians to attend our Open Rehearsals throughout September 2025.
Whether you’re returning to playing after a break or looking for a fresh musical challenge, this is a perfect opportunity to come along, meet the band, and experience what we’re all about. Rehearsals take place on Wednesday evenings in Nantwich, and are completely free to attend during the open rehearsal period.
We welcome players of all woodwind, brass and percussion instruments, and are currently particularly keen to hear from those who play Horn, Trombone, Tuba or Drum Kit (a drum kit is provided at rehearsals, so there’s no need to bring your own).
Nantwich Concert Band recommends a minimum playing standard of around Grade 4, and we pride ourselves on being a friendly, mixed-ability ensemble. The band has a varied programme throughout the year, performing everything from concert band repertoire and film music to pop arrangements and seasonal favourites.
If you’re interested in attending, or would like more information about joining the band, please contact our Musical Director, Nick Birch, at:
