The Colchester Brass Band has been documented as an amateur musical group since 1860, and remain regular performers in and around the Colchester area.
We are currently a self funding, previously nationally registered 2nd Section Band that competed in musical competitions around England, although currently not in competition. All members are amateur musicians from Colchester and the surrounding district.
Our rehearsals are at The Acorn Centre which is off Harwich Road in Colchester on a Tuesday between 7:45pm to 9:45pm. Please click the Rehearsal Room location here for a map.
We have competed in the National Finals of the British Brass Band Championships of Great Britain on a number of occasions, and have previously won the London and Home Counties First and Second Sections. Our concerts are mainly local or regional concerts but the band has performed at a variety of venues, including Colchester Castle Park, Halstead Park, Charter Hall and previously the London Royal Parks. We also feature at numerous fetes and fund raising events locally, and have also been on tour to Netherlands, France and Germany in recent years.
