We play at local events throughout the year — summer fêtes and garden parties, village fairs, charity events, Christmas carol services — with summer performances on the Bandstand in the Town's Memorial Park.
With our roots firmly in the British brass band tradition, our musical range is wide — from Tudor dances, through 18th - 20th century classics and military marches, to pop and jazz arrangements and contemporary film music. Our players range from school-age to pensioners, and we rehearse from 7.45 to 9.30pm on Monday nights in our own Bandroom close to the town centre, with adjacent parking. Easingwold is just off the A19, twelve miles north of York.
We offer a warm welcome to players of all standards at our Monday night practices. Whether you're a beginner, or you'd like to get back into brass banding after an interval, or perhaps you're a student at one of the York universities or colleges -- come along for a blow!

Our Training Band is now up and running. Fridays from 6.30 to 8 p.m. have become fun evenings not only for our young players, but for their parents, our conductor, and helpers from the Senior Band. Rehearsals take place in our bandroom in Croft Close, Easingwold. Membership is free of charge for the time being, and the band has a limited number of instruments available on loan for those who don't already own or have the use of one. "If you are having lessons on a trumpet or other brass instrument, this is a great way to put what you are learning into practice," says our musical director Alistair Shipman. The new band is not only for youngsters (aged from 8 upwards), grown-ups are welcome to join in too — there's no upper age limit! After starting in the Training Band, new players will have the opportunity to join the senior Band, as soon as they are ready to make the transition.
From September our Training Band will require help with tutoring and conducting. If you are a brass player with teaching experience who might be interested, we'd be very glad to hear from you.
