The MJBO was formed in 2005 by Andrew Kerensky, a local music teacher, who wanted to establish a big band in the tradition of the Swing bands of the golden era - but also incorporating modern popular music as well. We are a happy bunch of musicians who enjoy making
music in a group setting. Our community orchestra is open to musicians of all
ages who are keen to play great music in a band setting; the only way to
improve is to come along regularly. It’s advisable for newcomers to be around
grade 3-5 ability. Guitarists should be able to follow a chord sheet and
drummers need to be able to read drum notation, although not all
percussionists need to be readers. |
