The wind symphony welcomes expressions of interested from advanced instrumentalist to play in the group.
We are currently needing extra clarinets, percussion, low brass and and Oboe/Cor Anglais player.
NEW PLAYERS
New players are welcome to put in an expression of interest to the committee at any time.
Applicants are expected to be able to play accurately, expressively their main instrument. Playing other instruments is an advantage. The ability to sight-read music should be at a high standard for the typical advanced concert band repertoire. Experience in working in a team and following a conductor is also important.
GWS POLICIES
