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.
