NEW MEMBERS



Bacchus welcomes new players at all times. We endeavour to keep a good balance of sound across the orchestra and, as a result, if we get fifteen euphonium players asking to join at the same time (dream on) there may be a few disappointments!


Potential players are invited to join us for rehearsals. After three rehearsals, we ask you to decide - it has frequently taken just one session for such players to want to stay with us. Even if you do not then join us, we can put you in touch with other orchestras and bands in the surrounding area and would invite you to join our list of reserve players.


So we invite players of all the relevant instruments to contact us.

REHEaRSALS





Bacchus rehearses on Wednesday evenings, 8pm-10pm, at Judd School in Tonbridge. We meet almost every Wednesday in term time. This gives us typically 35 rehearsals per year. We also have rehearsals on the day of our formal concerts. There is, of course, variation in this, especially around the time of concerts.
