The Durrington Walls Wind Band was formed in September 2005 to provide continuity of musical opportunity for children moving between schools. It is a true Community Concert Band with players of all ages and abilities welcomed. We particularly hope to encourage adults to join us, who had learned an instrument in their school days but then gave up as their lives developed. Several playing members came back this way. \

Children join as their skills develop, usually after reaching Grade three on their instrument.

The band is a friendly, sociable group of musicians who play for pleasure and enjoyment. Rehearsals are relaxed and fun and the band is often in demand for local events as well as playing entertaining concerts.

IIn January 2016 we had the privilege to appoint a professional Conductor, now retired from service as conductor of the Cheshire Regimental Band. We are also very fortunate to have a talented Deputy Conductor, who has ably stepped into the role whilst our Conductor has been absent due to ill health.
