Interim Musical Director/Conductor
We are seeking a temporary leader, as our resident musical director is unable to take rehearsals from September to December 2025.
We’d like them to work with both our training and main bands, to ensure continuity as members move from one to the other. We are a friendly, enthusiastic non-contesting band looking for the right person to continue working with us as we prepare for our Christmas concert.
We have a range of abilities and welcome new members throughout the year, but we work hard and endeavour to give our best as we play together. The strong players want to be stretched, whilst our less confident players enjoy the support given to them by fellow band members and our leader.
We are based at the Larruperz Centre in Ross on Wye, Herefordshire and rehearse every Friday evening, in term time. The Training Band meet between 6.00pm to 7.00pm and the Main band 7.30pm to 9.00pm. However, these times could be adjusted slightly if necessary. Ideally, we’d like our interim MD to conduct the band at their afternoon Christmas concert on Sunday 7th December.
Our first rehearsal will be on Friday 12th September 2025.
This would be a remunerated position.

We are a friendly band that get together for the enjoyment of making music and entertaining the people of Ross and surrounding areas, we are a non-contesting and non-marching brass band. Our repertoire is wide and varied.
Main Band rehearsals take place in The Larruperz Centre in Ross on Friday evenings from 7:30pm to 9pm
(First room on the right as you enter the building). You are welcome to drop in for a blow or, if you prefer, contact us first.
If you want to brush up your existing playing skills, why not come along to the Training Band which meets at The Larruperz Centre on Friday evenings from 6:00pm to 7pm.
Never played a brass instrument before, or maybe not since school!, at any age (you are never too old!)
We would love to get you going in this amazing hobby, we will teach you from the ground up, from your first blow.
We meet at the Larruperz Centre on Friday evenings at 5:30 to 6pm
Professional tuition is also available.
