Tewkesbury Town Band

Tewkesbury Town Band is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Charity Number: 1171327).
Although records show a Town Band in Tewkesbury as far back as 1838, the present band was reformed in 1974.
The organisation provides free tuition in brass instrument playing together with free instrument hire to people of all ages but particularly to children and young people via its Training Band. Generally, at any one time, there are 25 to 35 people learning to play. On gaining a sufficient level of proficiency they then transfer to the Senior Band which is made up of 25 to 30 players. Many of the young people continue their music studies onto University, Music Conservatoires or leading UK brass bands.
The bands give public performances all over Gloucestershire and surrounding counties as well as further afield including in its twin town of Miesbach, Bavaria. Tewkesbury Town Band also leads all major parades in the town such as Remembrance Day, Civic Parades etc. The band has hosted bands from Norway, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Ireland.
