Wantage Academy Brass
Positioned in the fourth section and formed in 2013, Wantage Academy Brass, led by Musical Director Nikki Jones, provide a gateway to more formal brass banding for many of our learners at WSB.
The band compete each year at the London and Southern Counties Regional Contest and nearly always prepare themselves for an annual entertainment contest.
The band is kept busy throughout the year with a packed schedule of local engagements and concerts.
