derwent valley wind band
Events
We have now finished our Summer season of Concerts. We have two Autumn/Winter Concerts booked for Chatsworth House and Ecclesbourne School. The arrangements aren't finalised yet so watch this space ...
Because the band is quite large we tend to play out of doors so most of our concerts are in the late Spring and Summer, though we play at Chatsworth House in December and we always have an indoor Christmas Concert.
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 ...
