New members are invited to join as we start rehearsals for each program. Rehearsals for 2019 begin on Tuesday 29 January, 2019.

The Inner West Community Band welcomes woodwind, brass and percussion players of all ages into our ensemble.

So if you play piccolo, flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, trumpet, french horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, percussion or string bass, please get in touch!

Please note that places in each section of the band are limited and subject to availability.

Repertoire & Standard: No auditions are required. If you would like to join the band please email info@iwcb.org.au with your name, instrument and approximate standard. As a guide to our level, a minimum standard of AMEB Grade 5 is required to keep up with the band’s repertoire. We play a range of pieces varying from popular tunes, musicals, movie themes and jazz to more challenging symphonic band repertoire.
