Swindon Brass initially developed as an extension of Swindon Young Musician's Youth Brass Band in 1982, to provide an outlet for band members who were over eighteen years of age. In January 1986 the band registered as Swindon Youth Brass to enable them to contest.
The band continued to function under the auspices of Swindon Young Musician's until 1991 when, the band became known as Swindon Band. Contact was maintained with Swindon Young Musician's as they allowed the band use of their facilities and equipment.
In early 1992 the band competed in the Regional Championships, and we have competed ever since. We were fortunate to be awarded a National Lottery grant for a new set of instruments, and we became a registered charity with a mission to promote music and raise funds within the local community.
We came 3rd in the West of England region Fourth Section in 2013, so we are now playing in the Third Section as well as enjoying a fantastic day at the national finals in 2013.
We are always happy to welcome new players, please click Join Us for further information.
