Pit Band Birmingham is a brand new amateur orchestra, starting in January 2027, aiming to make playing musical theatre scores more accessible to amateur musicians. For many amateur musicians, an interest in musical theatre means trying to get into the one seat available on your instrument to play for an amateur dramatic society, which is an amazing experience, but at the end of the day the society's priority will be their actors. At Pit Band Birmingham, our priority is you, the musicians, and giving you in depth rehearsals on musicals. We aim to complete 3 projects a year, each of a different musical, where over a 3 month period the musicians involved will have weekly rehearsals delving deep into their current musical, really having the time to rehearse together, which is what many amateur musicians wanting to get into musical theatre are missing out on. Despite Pit Band Birmingham being solely for musicans we still want to be able to give our musicians the experience of collaborating with singers, so although we will not be putting on full musicals, our concerts will incorporate singers to complete the experience of each song we play.
