Do you have what it takes?

Members are not required to audition, but reasonable playing and sight reading standards are required. This usually means that you have reached Grade 6 in your chosen instrument. We also ask that you’ve had your 18th birthday…

Weekly rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings between 7.45pm and 9.30pm at Over Community & Conference Centre, 16 The Doles, Over, Cambridge CB24 5NW.

We rehearse through the summer… but have two weeks rest at Christmas!

If you’d like to join us then take a look at our current vacancies and contact md@hcband.co.uk if we have a space!

Current vacancies:

Trombone 

We have some exciting projects and are looking to increase the team with someone who is flexible about where they sit within the section, has wind band repertoire experience and can commit to Tuesday evening rehersals and a full programme of concerts, workshops and a recording next year.

Tuba

Come and join the “fun” section, we have space in the section for an experienced wind band (Bass clef) tuba player, who can commit to regular Tuesday evening rehearsals and up to 6 concerts a year.

Timpani & Auxiliary Percussion

We have a small selection of auxiliary percussion instruments that make such a difference for a lot of our repertoire. We would love to have someone, who reads music, to join us. If that person happens to own a couple of timpani, even better!!

Subscriptions

We currently ask for a £6 per month subscription, which covers the running costs of the rehearsals and concerts.  This is reviewed each year at the AGM but remains as low as possible and remains great value.
