Description

Non-contesting brass band.

The Coventry Festival Band is a thriving community brass band that enjoys entertaining audiences at a wide variety of venues across Coventry and Warwickshire.

The emphasis is on the enjoyment of making music and our varied repertoire reflects this. We can be found playing anything from traditional brass band pieces to classical and show numbers, singalongs, swing, pop and film music. As well as the musical side of things, we have a lively social involvement including tea and a chat, outings to concerts and band dinners. We have a number of instruments available to lend to anyone without their own.

We rehearse twice a week on Tuesday and Friday evenings, 7:30-9:30pm, at the Cheylesmore Community Centre, Coventry.

Our subscriptions are only £2 per week.
