The Ballyclare Wind Band is open to all pupils at primary and post primary schools play wind, brass and percussion instruments and who have been learning for 2 years. The membership fee is £53.40 per annum (family discounts apply) and weekly rehearsals take place on Wednesday afternoons at Ballyclare Secondary School, 4.15pm – 5.15pm.
