Stourport Brass Band

Stourport-on-Severn Brass Band is a friendly community band which has aimed to promote and improve the playing of people of all ages in the local and surrounding areas for over 40 years. We have about 25 players with a mix of playing abilities who generally live in the Wyre Forest, but some also travel from as far as Worcester, Pershore, Droitwich, the Black Country and Birmingham.
The band enjoys playing a wide variety of music at concerts, contests and public events, and is currently graded in the Third Section of the National Brass Band Championships.

The band rehearses once a week on a Tuesday evening 7.45pm-9.45pm at the Old School in Areley Kings.

This blog will be updated with information about forthcoming engagements and other news about the band, which we also publicise via our website www.stourportband.co.uk, our facebook page and our twitter feed @StourportBrass

March Update

We have been very busy since our last update, preparing for the 2014 Regional Contest. Last Sunday saw us take to the stage in Bedworth in the Fourth Section. For those of you who don’t know much about the world of contesting, the areas involve all bands playing the same test piece and being anonymously judged by two adjudicators (who have to sit all day in a small tent-like construction!). With a draw taking place for order of play, it is a brass bander’s version of the F.A. cup, only much more competitive. The top three bands, as decided by the adjudicators, qualify to play at the National Finals in Cheltenham.
