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 famous tuba soloist Steve Sykes, and Alan Morrison, principal cornet with the Brighouse and Rastrick Band. We are also available for private or corporate events.

We regularly compete in the first section, both in local contests at Stevenage and Folkestone and further afield at the Whit Friday Marches, made famous by the film "Brassed Off", and at the Bugle Contest in Cornwall.

We are fortunate to own our purpose-built rehearsal hall (with social club), located close to Egham railway station and Junction 13 of the M25. We rehearse on Monday and Friday from 8 to 10pm. We always welcome new players, but we're currently looking for good cornets and basses to complete our contesting band.

Egham Junior Brass is our training band and has been ably led by George O'Mara, 1st Horn in the main band, for the past five 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.

The band's most recent event was a trip to the Bugle contest, held near St. Austell in Cornwall, followed by a concert at the Royal Inn in Par.
