The Watford Band is one of Hertfordshire's oldest and most well-known brass bands. The band performs regularly at many events such as concerts, galas, fairs, weddings , dinners and other engagements across the county and beyond.
We rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of each week in our own band room in South Watford. We would welcome players of any ability wishing to join us for a rehearsal.
You can find details of how to find us and who to contact on this website.
The band's "Top of the POPS" Concert at Christchurch on Sat 18th May went down well with an appreciative audience.
Musical Director Ian Graves' program was greeted enthusiacally by young and old alike. There were fine solo performances by Steve Joy on Flugel and guest Euphonium player Jonny Spoule.
The band would like to thank everyone involved : players , helpers and the audience for making a very enjoyable musical evening possible.
The band always welcomes new players. If you have some experience in playing a brass instrumment please contact us for directions and encouragement. In particular we have urgent need of Baritone & Tenor Horn players and front-row Cornet players.
The early May bank holiday weekend saw the band entertaining crowds of gardening enthusiasts at Knebworth House. On what must have been two of the coldest May days in living memory, we played a wide selection of music in between breaks for much-needed hot drinks. In spite of the arctic temperatures, we seemed to go down well with the green-fingered punters, and we hope to have the opportunity to do so again next year. In which case, we will be taking no chances on the weather, and wrapping up as if we were carol singing in the snow!
Watford Band, a brass band with more than one hundred years of history are pleased to announce the appointment of a new musical director, who played at the Queen's Silver Jubilee and at a royal wedding.
