Sandwich Concert Band
The
Concert
Band
comprises
some
40
musicians
with
a
line-up
of
instruments
allowing
the
group
to
perform
a
full
range
of
musical
genres.
These
include
marches,
classical
transcriptions,
music
from
films
and
shows
as
well
as
good
symphonic
band
music.
Programmes
often
feature
individuals,
guests
or
sections
of
the
Band
in
solo
numbers,
and
all
of
it
is
tuneful
to
listen
to
and enjoyable to perform.
We
ask
that
Concert
Band
musicians
are
at
Grade
5

which
allows
challenging

exciting

to
be
performed.
