The band’s repertoire covers all major genres of music; Pop, Rock, Film, Theatre, Jazz, Marches, Light Classical and even Folk. The combination of instrument types within the group creates an exciting musical palette and delivers a vibrant listening experience.

As an experienced ensemble the band is always focused on delivering a high standard of concert performance and ensuring its members enjoy making good music for its audiences.
