Musical Director

Due to an increase in work commitments of our current M.D., an exciting opportunity has arisen for the post of M.D. of the Thirsk Royal British Legion Brass Band.

This non-contesting band enjoys a varied schedule of engagements from theatre appearances to summer fetes. As a Royal British Legion band we are exceptionally proud to represent the Legion at high-profile events such as the Thirsk Remembrance Day Parade, and in 2016 we had the honour of playing at the Menin Gate in Ypres. Please see our Facebook page for details. We plan a further tour to Belgium in 2020.

The Main Band is complemented by a thriving Training Band under its own M.D. and work together to ensure transition between the two bands. The desire to support the work and ensure the continued success of our Training Band must be a priority for any applicant.
The band is a friendly, hard-working and committed group who aspire to a high standard of music-making whilst enjoying the process. Our rehearsals enjoy exceptional attendance. We are proud of our inclusive atmosphere and our commitment to developing all players.

The best way to understand us is to visit us. We look forward to welcoming you soon as we embark on the next chapter of our band’s story. Please contact (in confidence) Band Secretary Peter Coles ([email protected] or 01845 526138) and come and meet the Band!
