Interested in playing with the Kelowna City Band?   We have 60+ members and are always interested in discovering proficient musicians. 

 

 

Individual practise is encouraged between rehearsals.  

​

The Kelowna Concert Band is a performing group of accomplished players.  There is no audition requirement at this time and anyone can join us at rehearsals.  Individual members are encouraged to practise between rehearsals as our music can be challenging.  

Permission of the section leader and conductor will be required before new players join us in concerts.
