MBC Band Revival!


MBC Band restarted from October 10, 2021 in Cheveley Parish Hall.

We are open to all instrumentalists of grade 1+ standard who can sight-read easy music.

This is a low-pressure, friendly group that will help you to improve your playing in an ensemble environment, with repertoire ranging from Stravinsky to the Spice Girls.

Rehearsals are every fortnight in term time, and each year there may be one or two concerts to show off your progress.

  

Come along and see what we’re about!
