+ Mid Sussex Brass Band

‘Formed in May 1986 following the amalgamation of the Haywards Heath Town Band and the Burgess Hill Brass Band. This move was necessitated by dwindling numbers of personnel in both bands and enabled the creation of a stronger band that could continue to maintain the busy programme of engagements and competitions that both bands had undertaken in the past ... MSBB is pleased to incorporate a thriving Youth Band ... The Youth Band has successfully nurtured and developed young players, a number of whom have progressed to the Senior Band where they make an invaluable contribution. The Mid Sussex Brass Band is a self-supporting organisation, funded by the subscriptions of members and from performance fees.’
