Welcome

Welcome to the website of Rushden Town Band.

Every year, the Remembrance Day Parade at Rushden seems to get bigger and better and this year was no exception. What a very moving service. Over 52 wreaths laid this year. We will remember them.

GOING FORWARD: Like everything, banding is getting more and more expensive. Only this week, there has been a band in the news who has called it a day as they are no longer able to cover their costs. Bands exist on a non-profit base, but the costs are getting higher and higher. Ensuring that a band has a regularly updated repertoire costs – one piece of music costs anywhere between £50 to £110. Rehearsal venues, ensuring there are enough uniforms and stands, repairing band instruments and insuring them all costs money which is, as I am sure you are aware, is going up and up. If you or you know of any local companies who would like to sponsor the band, please ask them to get in touch with us. Thank you.

We are a First Section brass band based in Rushden, Northamptonshire.
