Alpine Energy Timaru Concert Brass

This is the band for all levels of experience and ability. Revamped in 2018 to provide a space for more than just learners, the Timaru Concert Brass is the main feeder band for the AETB. A number of players are members of both bands. In addition to learners, there are a number of more seasoned players. It's fantastic that these experienced players are able to give back to the brass band movement in this way, especially those who cannot commit to a full band schedule and are happy to help out. The goal for the band is to be able to contest at district contests as well as perform a few times a year as opportunities arise, including potential joint concerts with AETB. Our repertoire is varied with most arranged specifically for bands with a range of abilities. We have links with schools in the Timaru area including high schools. Our owngoing goal is to look at ways we might strengthen these links with all schools in mutually beneficial ways. We are always welcoming to any players but are particularly keen to hear from experienced brass musicians who want to give back to the movement. Our rehearsals are Sunday Evenings 5pm - 6pm.
