The Adur Concert Band
the leading wind band in Adur District, West Sussex
2012 Massed Bands Extravaganza
Adur Concert Band next major event: 31 March 2012
Worthing Assembly Hall:
Adur Concert Band, with Bognor Regis Concert Band and Second Wind
Rehearsals:
Due to theft of roof lead, and pending repairs, we shall be rehearsing back at King’s Manor, Shoreham, for the next few weeks.
The Adur Concert Band rehearses in Lancing, West Sussex, UK, and we play concerts all year round in the South East of England.
The Adur Band grew out of the Adur Youth Concert Band in 1991, and in 2001 changed its name to The Adur Concert Band to properly reflect the type of band it had become.
The band has a membership from Shoreham, Hove, Brighton, Worthing, Steyning and as far away as Crawley and Chichester.
We are a community band that welcomes anyone 18 and over who can play a wind instrument or percussion; our members already include beginners to semi-professional musicians.
