Wind Band

Currently there are 93 members of the Wind Band. There is no audition for membership, with the standard of playing varying from beginners right up to those who have ABRSM grade 8 Distinction. The band is enthusiastic and, being run by head of woodwind Clare Jackson and head of brass Andrew Fawbert, develops and nurtures a strong sense of teamsmanship. Rehearsing once a week during Tuesday Q Time (1.30 - 2.30 pm) the band undertakes one concert each term (Bristol's Cabot Circus in December 2009, the Sturminster Newton Exchange in March 2010, the Christmas lights Clarks Village, Street, in December 2010 and the Welsh Millennium Centre in Cardiff during 2011) and also participates in school concerts from time to time.
