Welcome

Welcome to the website of Rushden Town Band.

The band has had a busy but lovely September with the Proms concert, the Amazing Northampton Run and Heritage Day. Out next event is at All Hallows Church, Wellingborough for a concert on 11th October at 7.30pm. Please see our engagements page for more details. The band is also practising for the Wychavon Contest on 1st November. This is the first time in many years that the band has entered this contest, but they are looking forward to it immensely. Once this is over, it will be full speed ahead for Chr…….s! (Seems too early to mention just yet!)

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.
