We have three concert bands:

• Senior Band - for players who have reached ABRSM / Trinity Grade 4 or above.
• Mezzo Band - for players from ABRSM / Trinity Grade 1-4.
• Junior Band - for beginners to ABRSM / Trinity Grade 1.

We also have two string groups:

• Mezzo Strings - for players who are Grade 1 standard or above.
• Overture Strings - for beginners to Grade 1.

Membership is open to anyone under the age of 19 in the Cheshire / Wirral area. The groups are run by Edsential, our local music hub.

We rehearse on Tuesdays during term time at Weaverham High School in Northwich, Cheshire. The Junior groups rehearse from 6pm-6.45pm. Mezzo Band is 6.45pm-8pm and Mezzo Strings is 7pm-8pm. The Senior Band rehearse from 7-9pm.

New members are welcome at any time of the year - just turn up to any rehearsal (you will find us in the school hall).
