Hurray!! The Bandstage is back.

The bandstage has made a comeback at Priory Park on Sunday 20th July. Southend Band as the town's Civic Band, had the honour of being asked to play for the grand opening. What a grand affair it was with the Lady Mayor Gwen Horrigan making a rousing speech and cutting the ribbon. The large enthusiastic audience applauded the band as we opened with Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001- A Space Odyssey). As the band tried to keep a hold on music that was blowing away in the wind we played a mixture of traditional marches, and more modern upbeat music.

We thank all those who congratulated us on our performance, the band certainly enjoyed themselves, both band and audience had a brilliant afternoon.

Music for a Summer's Evening

The band had a wonderful time at Thorpe Bay Methodist Church on Saturday 19th July. We were joined by the Fidelio Singers who sang some wonderful harmonised songs. Together with their conductor Margaret Cozens and accompanist Neil Clary, really made the evening.



Belles with Brass May 9th.

Many thanks to all those who came along to support the band, the St Bernards High School for Girls and The Koinonia Trust. A princely sum of approx £1500 was raised by the concert for the Trust. So congratulations to all.

‘The band had a very successful concert at Southend Salvation Army Hall. We had an upbeat and varied program and together with our guest singer John Mitchenson an enjoyable evening was had by all.’
