Welcome to the website of The Egham Band. We are a friendly community
brass band based in Egham, west Surrey, near London, with a history
stretching back over a hundred years. Our busy engagement list includes
community events such as Remembrance Sunday and local carnivals,
along with concerts with guest soloists, recently including Roger
Webster, principal cornet of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band, and
famous tuba soloist Steve Sykes. We are also available for private
or corporate events.
We regularly compete in the first section, both in local contests
and further afield at the Whit Friday Marches, made famous by the
film "Brassed Off", and at the Bugle Contest in Cornwall.
Egham Junior Brass is our training band and has been ably led by
George O'Mara, 2nd Baritone in the main band, for the past ten
years. Egham Junior Brass now has over forty members and puts on
its own events. A rolling recruitment plan is in place for brass
and percussion players.
During the summer, we will be playing at several events in the area,
and our autumn concert promises to be a cracker, featuring the talents
of Chris Jeans, Principal Trombone with the GUS Band. For advance tickets, please email
.
One of our recent events saw us playing for the Christmas Reindeer
Parade in Windsor in front of over 1000 people:
