Founded 1850: ‘We are one of the longest established Brass Bands in the north of Scotland, based in Aberdeen ... The Band performs in and around Aberdeen regularly at a wide variety of events such as fund raising concerts, local galas, church services ... The Community Band provides an opportunity for players of all ages and abilities to come together to make music in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere ...  From time to time there is an opportunity to also participate in joint rehearsals with Granite City Brass ... This is a superb opportunity to learn at another level with guidance and tuition’.
