Applications to rehearse with the Band are welcome from suitably experienced musicians over the age of 15. There are no auditions but, as a guide, we look for a minimum playing standard of Grade 6 and/or previous concert band, brass band or orchestra experience.

If you are a brass, woodwind or percussion musician please contact the Membership Coordinator by email (membership@borderband.org) providing the following details:

  • The instrument(s) you play
  • Your playing standard
  • A summary of your musical background and playing experience
  • Any other relevant information
  • Your contact details
  • Your age if under 18

Successful applicants will be invited to undertake a probationary period of 2 months.
