Corby Silver Band - Midlands Area - 3rd section
Updated 9th April 2021
Rehearsal update - April 2021
Due
to government restrictions, the Corby Silver Band club is temporarily
closed. However when the restrictions are lifted and the band club is
able to open, which is expected to be in mid May, then rehearsals will
recommence as the band club is Covid secure with additional safety measures in
place.
The
band committee have completed an in depth risk assessment for our rehearsals
and in order for our rehearsals to recommence, players will be asked to make
themselves familiar with the routine and extra hygiene requirements as detailed
in the risk assessment.
About us
Corby Silver Band is a traditional brass band, that was
formed for the Pole Fair in 1902, making it one of the oldest bands in the
local area.
Although the majority of our players come from
Corby and Kettering we have players from other surrounding towns and villages
in Northamptonshire and beyond.
Our players are hard working and committed and
this shows in the many indoor and outdoor concerts we perform each year. We
also constantly strive to improve our playing ability by participating in
contests.
We try to find the correct balance of serious
music making, whilst still having fun, making new friends and joining in
with social events.
Vacancies
We are always happy to welcome any new players, but
would particularly like to strengthen the band by welcoming
players to the following sections:
Bb Cornet
(front or back row positions to suit)
BBb Bass
Kit Percussion
For more details about these and any other
vacancies we may have, please see our Vacancies page.
Our musicians
Our musicians come from a wide range of musical
backgrounds with a range of abilities and experience, from the younger members
for whom Corby Silver is their first brass band, to players who have many,
many years experience playing in a wide variety of musical groups.
Some of our musicians are members of other local
brass bands, so we have a good relationship with lots of other musical
ensembles across the local area.
