Real stories from the musicians and families that make our bands great!!

What a brilliant day we had at the Lions District 105SW convention in Croyde on Saturday!
A very early start but after bacon butties we were ready for our part in the opening ceremony. Our Youth Band played magnificently and entertained Lions during lunch.
Thank you to the Lions for making us feel very welcome and a big thank you to Ian Maitland-Round for driving the bus and stepping in last minute to conduct when our MD Abie Evans became unwell and unable to come with us. Get well soon Abie!!!"As a parent, seeing my daughter's confidence grow through the Training Band has been incredible. The tutors are supportive and truly expert."
"The Youth Band challenges me to play music I never thought I could. The performance opportunities at places like Bristol Beacon are unforgettable."
"The community spirit here is what sets it apart. It's not just about the music; it's about belonging to something bigger."
Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to take your playing to the next level, we'd love to hear from you.
