Vacancies:
New players are welcome to join the band at any time, and visitors are welcome, too. Currently we have no specific vacancies, though another Tenor Trombone would not go amiss, and another back-row cornet would also be welcome. Come along for a blow (see Rehearsals for details) and see how you like us. Use the Contacts page form to enquire further.
German Exchange:
Under an agreement with the German band Musikverein Friesheim (MVF), from Erfstadt, near Cologne, our bands visit each other every other year. MVF's visit in July 2010 included a wedding and an Elvis concert (read the full report). In 2013, Waltham are due to be visiting Germany. You can click here to view a collection of photos from WSL Band's visit to Germany in June 2008.
Charity:
As well as raising money for charities such as Action for Children through concerts, the band sponsored a child in India via a World Vision programme in 2003-2011. Click here to view the project's closing report. We aim to undertake another sponsorship project in the future
