Wakefield Metropolitan Band

Since its formation in 1977 the band has performed many concerts each year including the ‘Bands in the Parks’ series throughout Yorkshire, at agricultural shows, charity fund-raising events and the ‘sell-out’ Christmas Brass concert each year at Wakefield’s Theatre Royal & Opera House. The band regularly takes part in joint concerts with local choirs and also has a popular 10 piece group which is available on request. The band’s repertoire is wide ranging; from swing, rock and ‘modern pop’ to extracts from the Musicals, Operas and Classical including items composed or arranged by members of the band in addition to the more traditional brass band repertoire.
