Fundraise for us!

A community brass band providing opportunity to participate in three different ensemble groups

To raise funds for our self supporting brass band in the local community. We currently operate three bands. The main band compete nationally at 2nd Section level,and have a varied programme of concerts, civic duties, competitions and community events. Our Community Brass Band play locally at fetes, encouraging youth involvement. Our Brass Roots group supports those starting out with a brass instrument.

Why the community needs us

Music making within a group has many positive aspects, it is fun, reduces stress, encourages social interaction, and can inspire people to take action to change their lives. Our plans for Amersham Band will extend the accessibility of learning music throughout the local community, in particular to young people and senior citizens. We also plan to make the building available to other community users when not in use by the band. This will help to alleviate the shortage of local facilities

Our impact on the community

We are trying to raise £300,000 to build a bandroom. Our current rented space is now too small to meet our growing needs. A new bandroom will give us the ability to further expand our bands, and to develop our community brass and beginner groups. We also plan to open a brass academy for individual and group teaching. We currently reach nearly 100 musicians, we would like to expand our activities to another 200 to 300 people.
