The Reading Spring Gardens Brass Band is a hard-working, positive and (most importantly) welcoming ensemble of brass and percussion players determined to ‘pick up’ where they left off in March 2020.
Please see below for more information on our current vacancies.
The band currently requires a number of capable and committed brass and percussion players to join the band, perhaps on a project basis for the London & Southern Counties Regional Contest on Sunday 20th March 2022.
The band will be competing in the third section under the baton of Matthew Ruel on Gordon Langford’s ‘Facets of Glass’.
Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings in Christ Church Woodley.
Additional rehearsals will be held on Tuesday evenings.
All enquiries welcome in strict confidence to Rebecca Devaney on 01189 414920 or e-mail contact@readingband.com
Please note that in the interest of the band, applicants for the below vacancies may be invited by the secretary to attend a rehearsal or two in order to determine whether both band and player are mutually compatible.
