Concert Band
SUCB is an entirely non-auditioned wind band, welcoming musicians of all standards and abilities. Typically we have 60 members in the band each year. We play a wide variety of music ranging from wind band standards, music from film and stage, marches, to classical pieces and seasonal favourites! Rehearsals are weekly on Tuesdays 7:00-9:30 in the plant pot, playing to a high standard whilst also emphasising the social side of university life.

We play a wide variety of music ranging from wind band standards, music from film and stage, marches, to classical pieces and seasonal favourites! Rehearsals are weekly, playing to a high standard whilst also emphasising the social side of university life.
We have regular socials such as pub crawls, meals, balls and day trips. The biggest event on the social calendar is our annual tour to an exotic European destination to play in a new environment, alongside our sister group Jazz Band. Recent locations include Bruges, Berlin and Budapest, but we do go to places that don't begin with B! It is often the highlight of the year for many people and takes place during the Easter holiday.
We rehearse every Tuesday 7:00-9:30pm in the Plant Pot (Level 3 of the SUSU Building 42).
Rehearsals will start 30th September 2025.
