Students can choose from flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn and percussion.

Instrument selection will be based on student's previous musical experience and preference. 

You do not need any experience of playing an instrument to join the band.

Please note that we can only accept three percussion players due to our limited instrument availability.

We encourage students with prior keyboard experience to trial a wind instrument. We especially welcome trombone and French horn players.

Wind instruments (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and french horn) will be available for hire from the school.
