Following the departure of our former permanent Musical Director and resident composer, Andy Baker, who has left to pursue other musical interests, Middleton band are now inviting applications for the position of permanent Musical Director to take over from April 2017.
We are an established 2nd section, North West Area band. We are lucky to be in the position of having a full band with great attendance at all rehearsals. We enjoy working hard as a team and get along well with each other both around the stand and socially. We enjoy undertaking a wide range of concert and contest engagements and welcome innovative and new ideas for concerts and exciting collaborations with other groups.
We are therefore looking for someone with a positive, enthusiastic and motivated outlook who is willing and open to trying new and different things in terms of music and concert ideas. We need someone who can drive our musical development forward and further raise the standard of playing.
