Live Performance
Brass Band
We are a non-contesting band based in the market town of Ross-on-Wye. Our aim is to provide entertainment for the people in and around the town of Ross.
New players are always welcome in all sections, and if you have ever dreamt of playing a musical instrument, we have a very active training band, where everyone is welcome, and we will teach you all you need to know and even lend you an instrument!
We meet every Friday for friendly rehearsals.
The Band was formed in 1924 and thrived in the pre-war years and competed at both Crystal Palace and Alexandria Palace. After a break for WWll the band reformed in 1947, the band prospered until the late 1970’s when it once again disbanded, but only for a short time, in 1984 a public meeting was held to see if the band could be reformed, and in January the following year the new band started rehearsing with just 13 players we have gone from strength to strength since then.
Caroline Symonds Gardens serves as a cherished public space within Ross-on-Wye, a focal point for community gatherings and a venue for diverse events. Its status as a well-known destination for local and regional happenings underscores its importance beyond a mere commercial enterprise, acting as a vital hub for cultural and social engagement.
The atmosphere within the gardens is one of open tranquility, with the gentle rustling of leaves providing a natural soundtrack. The air often carries the faint scent of damp earth and blooming flora, creating a refreshing sensory experience. The bandstand, a central feature, invites a sense of shared enjoyment and communal spirit.
Practical considerations are well-catered for, with accessible public conveniences available. The gardens themselves offer a pleasant, linear space, complemented by the adjacent Linear Arboretum, which showcases a variety of tree species. While specific event details vary, the venue frequently hosts music concerts, community festivals, and markets, drawing people together for shared experiences.
