The St. Helens Concert Band consists of woodwind, brass and percussion players from all age groups representing many different walks of life. The band plays a large range of music from the classics to themes from the latest films as well as the occasional popular number.

The range of ability in the band is varied from beginners to semi-professional and professional standard - it is naturally very beneficial for the beginners to play with more accomplished musicians which enables them to progress much more quickly.

 The Band plays at a range of events and venues. From large public concerts through to private parties as well as our own music festivals involving local schools and community groups. The ethos of the Band is summed up in our slogan: 'the local musical experience'

 If you are interested in playing with the the band please contact us to arrange to come along for a Wednesday practice.

 The band is supported by the Harry & Mavis Pilkington Foundation Fund for Arts & Leisure and is also supported by The National Lottery through 'Awards For All'.
