Our Principal Band is the official VERWOOD CONCERT BRASS Band.
The band rehearses twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays from 8 – 10pm under the baton of MD Kevin Smith. Several younger players from our Verwood Town Band have recently been promoted to this band.
Mike Dunnings, who plays Bb Bass, is the Bandmaster
The Band enters several contests during the year as well as performing in concerts, either in Verwood or the surrounding area.
