Bedford Town Concert Brass
Bedford Town Concert Brass aims to provide an intermediate band between the โcontestingโ Town Band and the Brass Academy/Progress Brass.
Concert Brass has proved very successful and provides a great musical outlet for reasonably proficient players who want to enjoy playing a wide variety of concert repertoire but have no desire to contest.
Concert Brass rehearses once a week on Monday Evenings 7.15pm in the Primary Hall, Newnham Middle School, Polhill Avenue, Bedford, MK41 9DT.
Along with rehearsing programmes of varied music, the band aims to balance extending the players abilities while making the experience enjoyable, sociable, and fun for all.
The band has excellent membership and can provide a useful graded steppingstone for players developing from the Brass Academy and those wishing to play in the Town Band.
Concert Brass plays a range of concerts and bandstands and has built up a following with its entertaining programmes.
The band is conducted by Darren Smith, a very experienced ex Royal Marines Band Musician who also plays Eb Bass with Bedford Town Band.
