Congratulations to all students who got their A-Level results today! If you’re coming to Warwick and you play a musical instrument (or even if you’ve never played music before in your life), make sure you check out the University of Warwick Big Band.
We are a non-auditioned and entirely student run society that continues to increase in popularity and professionalism. Our repertoire covers many genres, including swing, funk, latin, jazz, bebop, blues, and pop, and our wide range of music and musical ability means we have something for everyone! We play many gigs throughout the year, including University Balls, the ever-popular Students’ Union gigs, private functions, and bookings from clubs across Warwickshire, including Coventry’s Kasbah.
We also have a very active social life, and we regularly visit Pop! (including circling several Wednesdays a term) and have regular socials including our annual Music Centre Ball, regular events such as pub golf and end-of-term socials, traditional curry evenings, and an array of non-drinking socials.
We have parts for trumpet, trombone, saxophone, bass, guitar, keyboard, and drums, and we hold annual singers’ auditions at the beginning of term 1 – keep an eye on our pages for more details.
We’d love to meet any new members – come down to the Ensemble Room (located in the Music Centre) every Thursday at 7:30-10pm during term time (and feel free to join us in the Dirty Duck for a pint afterwards).
If you’d like to follow us, keep an eye on our Facebook page, follow our Instagram/Twitter accounts, check out our SU page or explore the rest of our website.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
