'We are a non contesting brass band based in Sittingbourne ... In the early days of the band all the players worked at the Paper Mill and were given time off to attend rehearsals and play at concerts. The band was often seen at parades and processions, marching along Sittingbourne High Street.  In recent times the number of players working at the mill has fallen and the band attracts players from across north Kent ... In every concert, we play a balanced programme containing varied music to suit everyone's tastes. Our repertoire contains traditional marches, and selections from popular musicals, but it also contains popular songs and some more unusual pieces as well - we provide a programme to entertain everyone!'
