What a strange year 2020 has been. This time last year we were looking forward to our usual schedule of concerts, contest and outdoor events but like many areas of life, Coronavirus has meant none of that has happened.

As the lockdown continues, Oxted Band have been unable to physically meet now for some seven weeks, but we are doing our best to continue our activities as far as we can. Many of us meet each week online for a catchup and we decided we’d like to share something of us playing, so here’s …
Oxted Band is an amateur Brass Band, based in the Surrey town of Oxted, where we have been since 1901.
The band is made up of a friendly group of amateur musicians who come from all walks of life, but are drawn together by the common interest of playing music, both for enjoyment and to improve ourselves and to entertain those who listen to us.
Oxted Band has around 30 playing members at the present time from a wide range of backgrounds, and ranging in age from school students to those enjoying their retirement. Some members have joined us in the last few months, others have been with the band since the days of black and white photos!
The band meets weekly throughout the year to rehearse a variety of music which we perform at a range of events including our own concerts, local events such as fetes and parties; and community events around Christmas and Remembrance Sunday. We also take part in Band Contests which are a great challenge for the band to improve our playing as a group.
Find out about the individual members on our Personnel page.
During the pandemic, the band has been unable to undertake any events but with restrictions now starting to be lifted, we’re very excited to get back out playing to people.
