Recruitment © Sandwich Concert Band 2011 The Sandwich Concert Band is a community organisation constituted through Making Music and welcomes young and not-  so-young players of wind, brass and percussion instruments without audition.  Nonetheless we strive to perform at a high  standard and ask that Concert Band musicians are at least Grade 5 standard for section players and higher for solo parts.   Less experienced players of all ages between Grades 1 or 2 through to 4 can join the Training Band and progress to the  Concert Band.  There is usually a mutual trial period of 3 weeks where each of us can assess the other.  Please don’t be put  off by this, we’re a welcoming and supporting bunch and it’s very rare that we can’t accommodate players within our  sections!
