DURRINGTON WALLS WIND BAND
Latest news:
Preparations underway for the visit of Grafelde band at the end of March
The community band for the village of Durrington
The band was formed in September 2005 to provide continuity of musical opportunity for children moving between schools. It was also intended to provide an outlet for adults who had learned to play an instrument, probably at school, but had, as is so often the case, had to put it to one side due to all the various events of life such as going to university, moving house, marriage, etc Present membership level is around 40 players with 3 non-playing helpers.
There is no particular ability standard required to be able to join but it is unlikely that much enjoyment could be had by players not able to play at at least Grade 2 level. Some of the music used is arranged specifically for the instruments we have and, when necessary, parts can be made available for less able players.
