Welcome to Broadstone Community Concert Band’s web site. We’re an amateur wind band based in Broadstone, Dorset offering its members a fun and yet challenging opportunity to play within a large wind band.
We usually play a couple of large charity concerts each year at local venues which include Poole Lighthouse, Wimborne Minster and The Tivoli in Wimborne.
We are please to inform you that this concert is still currently going ahead.
We are monitoring the Government's advise and guidance and will continue to monitor any changes to COVID regulations.
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THIS SECTION UP UNTIL THE POINT YOU LEAVE TO ATTEND.

Please retain your ticket(s) and revisit this status page, just before attending our event. Should anything change or if the concert is cancelled for any reason, we will update this section of our website.

The wellbeing of our audience, the band members and church staff is of paramount importance to us. Everyone is asked to carry out a Lateral Flow test on the day of the concert and only attend if you receive a negative test result. If you feel unwell in any way, we ask that you do not attend and seek a full refund of any unused tickets - see refund note 4.

You are required to wear a mask on entering the Minster and whenever you move around the Minster. During the interval, if you are able to chat outside we ask that you do so. Please make sure you wrap up warm, be warned, wear layers and please wrap up warm... the doors of the Minster will remain open up to just before the start of the concert and they will be opened again during the interval to help with air flow.

We are currently a fifty strong band with a wide range of standards including hobbyist and a couple of professionals. We’re a very friendly bunch and welcome newcomers to any practice session - please email us first to arrange a suitable night to visit.
We play most Thursday evenings from 7pm until 9pm at St John’s Church, Tudor Road, Broadstone and play for a couple of hours on the numerous pieces we intend to perform at the next concert wherever that may be.
Our 2019 Carols in the Corn Market was another very well attended event with about 800 people squeezing into Wimborne Corn Market which raised around £800 for the Mayor’s charities.
Many thanks for the fantastic turn out at our Summer 2019 concert - which raised money for two event charities Forest Holme Hospice and Poole Hospital Charity.

If you play a 'Wind Band' instrument and you're looking to play in a big friendly band environment, then do get in touch with us by email initially. We're especially on the lookout for new Trombone, Trumpet, Euphonium and Sax players, who are looking to commit to regular rehearsal attendance.
Sometimes certain instrument sections are full so you do need to email first, rather than just turning up to one of our rehearsal sessions - drop us a line here

Being an amateur band shows the commitment and time both band members and the band's conductor Damon Corio, have invested in providing a friendly, local concert band atmosphere to enable younger and older players to congregate and enjoy their pleasure of playing music and sharing with others at a couple of charity evening concerts.
We're on Facebook so why not have a look and share our news and concerts with your friends. We have anywhere between 400 and 800 members of the audience, but it would be fantastic to fill our larger venues like Lighthouse Poole, so we can raise more money for the charieties we support at each concert - click here to go to our Facebook page
If you're interested in asking the band to perform on behalf of your Charity then drop us an email now
