THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A MEMBER?

We are always looking for new members. If you can play any brass or woodwind instrument and can read music we would love to hear from you. The band also owns a few instruments which can be lent to members if required.


If you are interested in joining

  • Come along to our Tuesday rehearsal and listen. No invitation needed just turn up.
  • If you would like further information or to talk with a real person before coming along phone or email Frances at fran@franruss.co.nz or phone 0274 964 806.
  • Be our guest. Bring your instrument and join in on a few Tuesday rehearsals to see if the band suits you.
  • Then, if you decide you would like to be a part of our community, talk to one of our friendly committee members about signing up.

WHAT IS A CONCERT BAND?

The modern Concert Band is a development of the American Military Band and is essentially an orchestra without the strings (with one exception - the Double-Bass). The instruments include Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes, Bassoons, Trumpets, Trombones, Baritones, Horns, Tubas, Double Bass, Saxophones and Percussion.

HISTORY

The NSCB has been playing for over 30 years, and some of its founding members are still going strong today!
