Our next engagement...
Last Night of the Proms concert
Sunday 12th July 2009
- 7.45pm

The Band started our summer season with a concert at Colchester Castle Park on Sunday 10th May. We were fortunate that the weather was lovely and the park was full of people able to enjoy the music.
We have a few private concerts over the next couple of months but we are now working on pieces for our 'Last Night of the Proms' concert as part of the carnival weekend. We are hoping to play some new pieces as well as the old flag-waving favourites. We are pleased to be joined this year by the Tudor Rose choir who will be performing in the first half of the concert and then leading the singing in the second half.
We have also started work on our new training band so if you are interested in joining, please contact us. We welcome anyone of any age and ability!
Please sign up to our mailing list for news on new concerts and information on where you can see the band.

The Stowmarket Concert Band has been playing together since 1962. Many people are surprised to learn that a band with a world wide reputation comes from the small town of Stowmarket in sleepy Suffolk. However, over the years literally hundreds of young musicians have passed through it's ranks. Some play only for pleasure, but many others have gone on to have inspiring professional careers with some of the top musical organisations in the UK and abroad
Despite the name, the band is a brass band in the true English tradition. In the past trumpets and french-horns have been used.
This site shows some of the history and a vision of the future for the band.
