Bedford Town Concert Brass
Bedford Town Concert Brass has proved very successful and provides a great musical outlet for players who want to enjoy playing a wide variety of concert repertoire but have no desire to contest.
Along with rehearsing programmes of varied music, the band aims to balance extending the players abilities while making the experience enjoyable, sociable, and fun for all.
The band has excellent membership and provides a progression for players from the Brass Academy and Progress Band.
Concert Brass has built up a following with its entertaining programmes playing a range of concerts and bandstands.
The band is conducted by Darren Smith, a very experienced ex Royal Marines Band Musician who also plays Eb Bass with Bedford Town Band.
Concert Brass rehearses once a week on Monday Evenings from 7.15pm to 9pm in the Primary Hall, Newnham Middle School, Polhill Avenue, Bedford, MK41 9DT.

All Bands Concert
A busy week for our bands started last Saturday 18th May 2024, when every ensemble in our organisation came together at The Place Theatre for our annual All Bands Concert.
Each band played very well, but it was particularly nice to see the great progress that our young musicians are making in our academy.
