Who We Are?
We are an amateur brass band based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
As the Doncaster area’s leading brass band, we aim to provide entertainment, through concerts and participation in contests, for the enjoyment of all ages – both the public and our band members.
Our principal objective is to advance, improve, develop, and maintain education in, and appreciation of, the art and culture of brass band music in all its aspects, through practice, training, and performance.
As part of our communities’ cultural heritage, we aspire to stimulate and encourage young people to participate in brass band activities, by providing learning and development opportunities and the facilities for anyone who may be interested in learning.
