derwent valley wind band
Events
We are planning a full season of concerts in the late Spring and Summer this year. Look out for our visits to local parks and gardens and to our Grand Gala Last Night of the Proms Summer Concert and of course our ever popular Christmas Concert.
Watch this space for details as they become available.
Note that times are playing times.Please will band members arrive 30 minutes earlier to help get set up, tuned and so that we have the right number of seats! For large venues like Chatsworth and Nottingham do make sure that you allow adequate travelling time. The roads are congested on holiday Sundays ...
