• Battery Percussion (snare drums, bass drums, quads)

From Beginner to Experienced

We welcome individuals with varying levels of musical experience from absolute beginners with an interest in music, those currently learning an instrument to those who are conversant with an instrument and wish to participate in our style of music.

Ages 11 to 24

We currently have members between the ages of eleven to twenty four. We are seeking additional members to play in our current programme, however, we also provide learners classes in order to supply 'future' Corps members.

Commitment

We encourage individuals to develop at a rate suitable to themselves, however, we require a commitment from all members to practice (in addition to rehearsals), attend rehearsals and competitions. All members realise the importance of being part of a team and understand the impact when individuals do not practice or attend rehearsals.

Subscriptions / Costs

We will charge an annual subscription of £100 per marching member.

Learners are required to pay a £2 fee for all rehearsals attended.

Members are also required to pay towards the cost of bus transportation to competitions.

Brass members are required to pay a nominal fee for black gloves (Corps style required).

Uniforms

Full uniforms are provided for marching members which are only worn during competitions. This includes: jacket, trousers, shoes, helmet / plume (marching members only) and gauntlets.

Members are required to provide black socks and plain black tee shirt.

Corps Merchandise

The Corps currently sells the following (optional):

• ECE Competition tee shirt
• ECE Fleece Jacket
