training bandTraining Band

The Training Band is primarily a feeder band for the Lympstone South West Telecoms Band. As such it welcomes anyone interested in learning an instrument, particularly those still at school and those that can read music. All ages and abilities are welcomed. The relaxed atmosphere allows complete beginners to join in and improve rapidly. The band regularly performs in public, either on their own or in conjunction with the senior band. The band is coached and conducted by Roger Riggs, who is a long time associate of the senior band and an accomplished Cornet player. Tim Gittins, assistant Principal Cornet with the senior band, will also be helping to train the band along with doing some one to one brass tuition.

 

Times:

The Training Band rehearse on Saturday mornings in term time from 10.30 to 12.15pm at the bandroom on Candy's field, Lympstone. Please see the rehearsal and engagement schedule below.
