You’ll obviously need your instrument every week, but there are a couple of other things too:
• You must bring a folder that you can start to store your new music in; we have a big repertoire so it needs to be a folder that you can easily find things in alphabetically!
• You must bring all of your music that you’ve been given so far (in the folder above!)
• New members will probably (depending on their instrument) be given a ‘Learn As You Play’ or similar book which will be used by the instructors to teach the new instrument.
• We like all our members to have their own music stand; initially we can provide one but they make for a good birthday present! For performances, we will generally use the band’s own music stand.
• For most of our instruments, it’s possible to purchase an instrument stand. This keeps the instrument supported and safe when it’s out its stand but not being played.
