Bandit
Our beginner brass ensemble for young players starting out — a fun, supportive place to make music in a group.
About the band
Bandit offers group rehearsals in a relaxed, encouraging environment, focused on the fundamentals: producing a good sound, reading music, playing in time, and playing together. Players progress at their own pace.
Bandit members have access to the full GCB instrument pool — soprano cornet, cornet, flugel horn, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, trombone, and tuba — and players interested in percussion are welcome too. There is no need to own an instrument to join.
