Next Up: The 2026 Area Competition!
Looking ahead, we’re all gearing up for the 2026 London and Southern Counties Area Competition! The contest will be held on the weekend of 21st and 22nd March 2026 at the Stevenage Arts and Leisure Centre and we can’t wait to get on that stage and show everyone what we’ve been working on.
For this year’s competition, we’re tackling the incredible and challenging piece “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” by Philip Harper. It’s a piece that pushes us to the limit with its complex rhythms, deep emotional moments and dramatic flair. We’re ready to bring the music to life and tell a powerful story through sound – it’s going to be an amazing journey!
We Want YOU to Join Us!
As we build our new Concert Band, we’re looking for people like you to come along and help shape it. We want to promote the fantastic genre of brass bands in the local area and we’d love to have more people involved who are passionate about music. Whether you’ve been playing a brass instrument for years and want to dust off the cobwebs, or you’re a newbie looking to learn – we want to hear from you!
We’re currently planning a workshop day where you’ll get the chance to meet the band and see what we’re all about. It’s a relaxed and friendly event and we’re hoping you’ll come along, join in the fun, and see if this is something you’d like to be a part of.
