Watford Band

Watford Band The Watford Band is a relaxed, traditional brass band based in Watford. All that's required is a willing attitude and a smiling face.

Watford Band rehearses twice a week at its own premises in Bushey, Herts, and performs in public about 25 times per year. We play at all sorts of events, including contests, paid concerts, charity fundraisers, summer fetes, carol concerts and occasionally even a march! We aim to uphold the tradition of banding in the Watford area and to nurture a new generation of brass players who will carry the

torch onwards. We're always on the lookout for potential new members, irrespective of ability or experience.

What a great audience at Chesham Bandstand yesterday! 🎺🎶

We played a selection of music to suit everyone, from lively favourites to more traditional pieces — and it was fantastic to see so many people enjoying the afternoon with us.
A big thank you to Ian, our Musical Director, to the deps who helped us out, and to our fantastic soloists: Shirley, Ken, Karen, Gavin, Robbie, Alison, Simon and Jordan.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came along, listened, clapped and supported the band. We loved playing for you!

Want to know more about the band, join us, or find out about our development band, BrassBeats? Get in touch — we'd love to hear from you!

What a pleasure it was to spend Sunday afternoon performing at Ashlyns Care Home.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Ashlyns for the warm welcome and kind hospitality. It was wonderful to see so many residents, families and staff enjoying the music, with plenty of smiles, singing along and toe-tapping throughout the afternoon.
It's always a privilege to share our music with the local community, and occasions like these remind us just how much live music can bring people together.
Thank you for inviting us—we thoroughly enjoyed performing for you and we will see you in December. Ashlyns Care Home B&M Care

What a brilliant weekend at Bandamonium!

I honestly think we’ve had such a great time. Lots of music, laughter, friendship and plenty of movie magic along the way!

A massive thank you to everyone who got involved with the theme — the costumes were fantastic and it was so much fun seeing everyone embrace it. There were some amazing characters (and some very questionable ones 😂).

A huge thank you to Ian for putting together two brilliant musical sets and for all the hard work that goes into making weekends like this happen.

A special thank you to Karen for everything she did behind the scenes to help make the weekend run so smoothly. It’s often the things people don’t see that make these events possible.

Also a big thank you to the deps who stepped in and helped us out — we really appreciate you giving up your time and being part of the weekend.

It was lovely to spend time with other bands, catch up with friends and be reminded what makes being part of a band so special — the music, the friendships and the memories we create together.

Here are just some of the photos from a fantastic weekend. There were so many great moments it was hard to capture them all!
