Percussionists (Tuned)

Trinity Concert Band

Reading's Trinity Concert Band currently have vacancies for percussionists. We have a regular kit player, so the majority of the playing would be on tuned percussion. If you play to a high standard, have previous ensemble experience and can commit to weekly rehearsals and regular concerts, we’d love to hear from you!

We are a non-auditioning band, but to assess your suitability we’ll invite you along for a four week trial period to see how you get on. If we are mutually compatible you will be invited to join permanently.

Rehearsals take place at Trinity Church, Earley on Tuesday evenings from 7:45pm-10pm.

One of the UK's leading non-professional community wind bands, Trinity Concert Band entertain audiences in and around Berkshire with our high quality concerts featuring music to suit all tastes. Our repertoire includes classical transcriptions, original wind band compositions, music from stage and screen, and light popular music. We perform up to five formal concerts a year at venues in Reading and Wokingham, and summer brings the opportunity to put on light performances at bandstands across the area.

We are regular entrants at the National Concert Band Festival, a day long festival of music where bands are judged on their performance. In April 2018, the band travelled to Manchester where we were thrilled to be only one of two bands to receive the coveted Platinum Award!

Our annual full-day workshops give us the opportunity to take on some new, challening repertoire under the direction of a guest conductor. Previous conductors to take our workshops are Nigel Hess, Rob Wiffin and Duncan Stubbs (both were formerly Principal Director of Music, Royal Air Force) and David Cole (former Director of Music, The Royal Marines Band Service, and assistant producer of the annual Festival of Remembrance).

We've previously toured to Germany, the Czech Republic and Malta, with plans to tour again in the near future.
