Wind Bands
More than 300 children take part in wind bands at the Music Centre. Groups usually appear in at least three public performances a year. The link below is a video of one such performance given by of the Oldham Youth Wind Band conducted by Andy Wilson.
Who is it for?
All schoolchildren are welcome to audition (groups are graded according to ability).
Most new members join the Elementary Wind Group and progress to other groups as they develop. Wind Bands also require percussion players and many of these come from the “Repercussions” percussion ensemble (Details on the Brass Band page).
