STOP PRESS! We really need percussionists! Are you able to play kit or tuned percussion and free on Monday nights? We'd love to hear from you, particularly if you can read music or are willing to learn. Get in touch! STOP PRESS!
Only one more job of the summer season to go.....Colchester Castle Park on Sunday 19th September, 3-5pm. Lovely park to spend an afternoon in, get a cup of tea or an ice cream and join us around the bandstand.
The Band will now be working on music for the winter season......you think Christmas carols in November is bad, try August!! Unlike the summer season where we travel around, winter sees us firmly in Stowmarket - inside and out! Check out the engagements page for details.
Sign up for our newsletter and you will be guaranteed to hear about our concerts. On Facebook? Join the Band's group here! We post all of our concerts on this page as well as photos after some of the events!

Despite the name, the band is a BRASS BAND in the true English tradition. In the past trumpets and french-horns have been used.
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
This site shows some of the history of the band, and where we are now.
