About - Martlesham Brass Band
Martlesham Brass was formed on 13th September 1996. In response to a great demand from brass musicians in the Martlesham area, an organisation was set up with an original membership of 26 musicians and three Bandleaders. The idea behind the group is to provide an opportunity for people in and around the Martlesham area to learn to play brass instruments.
What to expect
Since our formation in September 1996 we have grown from an original 26 musicians to 115. We have now got 6 Bandleaders and Instructors and a very strong training structure. Due to the dramatic increase in numbers we have had to relocate our main Friday practice to larger premises and have recently started to hold additional practices on Wednesday evenings at a local primary school. As far as the musical ability of the band goes, the standard of performance has improved beyond all recognition. Both traditional brass band music and more modern popular arrangements are being performed. We have also arranged a number of pieces of music ourselves in order to ensure each section of the band is encouraged to play more difficult parts and so improve. The average age of the band is about 16, although we do have members as young as six and few over 60s (reaching into the 90s too).
