Windband
Windband Society runs a non-auditioned wind band which goes by the name 'City of Cardiff Concert Band'. We are open to everyone regardless of age, standard or student status - including students of other universities! (although we do recommend grade 5 ish standard playing).
Rehearsals are held each Wednesday in Room 3C/D which is on the third floor of Cardiff University Students' Union, from 18:00 to 20:00.
We provide woodwind, brass and percussion players the opportunity to continue playing in a band whilst at university purely for the enjoyment of doing so! We perform regular concerts throughout the year, covering a wide range of musical genres from marches to musicals, to film scores, classical pieces and contemporary works too - something for all tastes!
We organise a large number of social events each year including band meals, quizzes, trips, pub socials (ok, this happens weekly) and even a weekend away to Brecon. In the past we have also visited France, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Barcelona and Amsterdam on tour. In 2022 we were recognised by the Students' Union for being a Gold standard society and in the past have won the Best Medium Society award! For the three consecutive years from 2023-2025 we have also been the winner of Best Overall Band in the South West Universities Concert Band Fest, which we also hosted in 2023 and 2026!
