‘At the heart of the town since 1919 ... A friendly group of brass musicians who rehearse weekly in preparation for concerts, contests, civic duties and anywhere we are invited to play. The band has enjoyed continued success over the past few years ... This has been achieved by commitment from all the players, several of whom are under 18, all credit to them. Over the last few years, the band has seen a rise in the number of under 18's that have joined the training, junior or senior bands ... As a band, we never have our door closed, we are always looking for new members to join ... Our Solo & Quartet Contest has developed ... to be a premier event in the band's calendar attracting musicians from far and wide.’
