Welcome

We’re a standard brass band, a part of the community life of Easingwold and its neighbourhood, and a registered Charity (No. 1101841). Founded in 1901, we play at local events throughout the year — fêtes and garden parties, parades, village fairs, charity events, Christmas functions and official occasions — with summer performances on the bandstand in Easingwold’s Memorial Park.

We have our own bandroom in Croft Close, Easingwold (postcode YO61 3DB), where we rehearse on Monday evenings from 7.30 to 9.45 p.m. throughout the year. Our Development Band and Beginners' Group rehearse there on Friday evenings from 6.00 to 9.15 p.m. during school term-time.

With VACANCIES for FRONT-ROW and BACK-ROW cornets, we also offer a warm welcome to new players of all brass band instruments. If you’ve recently moved into the area, or you’d like to get back into brass banding after a break, or maybe you’re a student at one of York’s universities or colleges; or if you just feel ready for a change — come along for a blow!

Learning a brass instrument? We’ll help you improve and develop your playing. A bit rusty? Brush up your playing and regain your confidence. Give our Development Band a try.
