We coach and encourage many aspects of musicianship, parade and drill. The band consists of woodwind and brass sections, with instruments including, flutes, piccolos, clarinets, saxophones, trombones, euphoniums, tubas and cornets and our multi award-winning percussion section, including instruments such as glockenspiels and cymbals, side, bass and tenor drums.
