2nd Wind
is a Community Concert Wind Band for adults of
all ages & abilities who wish to rediscover the fun of
playing their instruments again or maybe wish to start
learning. |
| |
|
Who?
|
|
|
|
Players of all
woodwind & brass instruments, percussion and bass
players are welcome regardless of ability & age who wish
to develop their playing skills in a friendly
environment.
Many of us
used to enjoy playing instruments in our school or
college days only to find that work, family or lack of
opportunities to play in a group, band or orchestra
prevented us going any further. Other members have
always wished to learn to play and are discovering that
playing as part of a larger group is a great way to
develop their skills and is much more fun than sitting
alone at home practicing.
Our current
members represent a very wide age range from their late
teens through to those enjoying their retirement years,
all with a common love of music and the desire to
develop their playing abilities. |

We Play? |

|
A wide
range of works for wind ensembles from traditional &
classical pieces to jazz, popular & music from the
movies. All tailored to suit most abilities so if those
more demanding twiddly bits are a bit daunting at first
- don't worry - just play what your capable of and
you'll soon get the hang of it.
Our repertoire to date includes works by Bizet, Gilbert
& Sullivan, Vaughn Williams, Strauss, Andrew Lloyd
Webber, The Beatles, Queen, Leroy Anderson and numerous
movie & popular light classics. |
