Who are we?

We are a small group of brass players who meet weekly at St. Giles Church, Exhall. Ages range from 10yrs to 73yrs. We also have a small number of youngsters in our learners class. The yearly programme includes playing at the Summer Fete’ and Christmas Fayre, Carol Playing prior to Christmas, and  the Remembrance Sunday Service. We also play at local homes for senior citizens and promote two band concerts annually. We enter the Nuneaton Music Festival each year to encourage our young member to raise the standard of their playing.

History

The band was formed in about 1975 as an additional music group based at St. Giles Church, Exhall, Warwickshire, just North of Coventry, by junction 3 of the M6. The Band rehearses in the Small Church Hall on Wednesday evening  at 7.00pm until 9.15 pm. The juniors rehearse from 6.30.pm. prior to band practice.

Future Goals

We would welcome additional members to help us continue raising the Band’s playing standard and give the band a fuller sound. We will also teach  adults and children to play brass instruments.  The Musical Director visits one of the local schools weekly and takes the School  Band, this has resulted in several pupils joining the Church Band, this in turn has speeded the youngsters progress, by having help from the experienced players.
