We are a self-funding brass band organisation based in the Tendring Pensinsula which forms part of North Essex. In 2019 we gained promotion to compete in the Second Section of the London & Southern Counties Regional Brass Band Contest.
We are a friendly band for all ages, with current members ranging from 12 years to 80+ years old!
Tendring Brass as an organisation, consists of its Main Band (which consists of the Contest Band and Concert Band) Community Band and Music Academy, supported by a non-playing Support Team.
The younger members of the Band and Music School are an integral part of the organisation, and we recognise child safety and protection. We have a child protection policy and have DBS checked members in our Academy teaching staff.
Likewise, we adhere to the requirements of Child Performance Legislation and work with Essex County Council Child Services department to ensure we comply with local requirements in this area.
The organisation always welcomes new players. We encourage anyone interested in learning more about Tendring Brass to contact us. We have various options for new members –
- If you are relatively new to Brass banding, you could come along to our Academy, where you will find an environment of development and learning.
- If you are already an established player, you enjoy social playing without the level of commitment of a contesting band, you could come along on a Tuesday evening to the Community Band rehearsal.
- For those who enjoy more challenging pieces of music to a contesting level, perhaps the Main Band is a possible option for you – subject to vacancies.
