cultural development of the band. It is also to facilitate the enrichment of the cultural lives of communities in which our members reside and of our audience. 3. The direct benefit which flows from purpose 3 is to promote the playing, understanding and appreciation of concert band music in its various forms and that the cultural lives of the general public of Northern Ireland will be enriched with high quality musical performances. 4.

Player development is evidenced in their ability to play a range of music. The benefit from purpose 5 is evidenced through our inclusion of all sections of the community without discrimination. Cooperation with other musical groups can be evidenced through concerts and joint ventures with other organisations. Is there any harm arising from any of the purposes?

We bring together members of the community from all walks of life for a collective musical experience. Our purpose is to provide a facility for any person to play an instrument to the best of their ability and to pass on our knowledge and experience to the next generations of musicians to keep the tradition of concert bands alive in our community.
We provide musical entertainment for the entire community. We offer support from a group of volunteers who give their time freely.
