Could you be the missing link? Verwood Concert Brass Principal Band are looking for a Euphonium to complete our line up. We offer well-attended rehearsals with all other seats filled, (including three excellent percussionists), under our Musical Director Kevin Smith (Former bass trombone with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra).
Required Standard: Championship Level
Verwood Concert Brass are looking for a Euphonium. We have a sensible concert programme throughout the year, and contest entries in the Senior Cup, Wychavon, and the Championship Section in the West of England Area contests. We are part of the VCB organisation that includes our Town Band (3rd section finalists this year), Community Band and our beginners group, the Acorns. Contact me on Facebook in the first instance for a chat or send a message via our contacts page. After a busy 18 months of fundraising we have nearly met our target of £250 000 to rebuild our band hall, which is just one example of the commitment and team ethos of the VCB community.
