Welcome to our website ! Although the band has
been in existence since 1907 this website gives you an insight into
the band, as it is today.
Please check the Engagements section
regularly as this will give you a diary of our forthcoming events.
We hope to soon add a players profile page too !
Christchurch and Highcliffe Brass Band have existed under
different names since 1907 due to changes in rehearsal bases. The
band started life as the Highcliffe Silver Band when they rehearsed
in the Highcliffe Library building later becoming Highcliffe British
Legion Silver Band until the British Legion Club was demolished
for housing development. Having been offered a room in the Highcliffe
Sports and Social Club the band name changed accordingly again.
Some six years ago the Band moved to the Highcliffe Youth Club
and this became their new rehearsal base. At this time the Christchurch
Council offered to support the Band, and it took on the present
name of Christchurch and Highcliffe Band. |
