Welcome to the online home of the
Towcester Studio Band

Towcester Studio Band is a brass band based in Towcester, South Northants. We have a very well appointed and comfortable Bandhall in the town and rehearse at 7.45-9.45pm every Wednesday.

We also have Beginner and Development groups for learners - please follow this link to get more details.

The band is in demand locally for concerts, fetes and park playing, as well as providing the music for celebratory town and area events and regularly competes in regional and national contests having been promoted to the second section in 2025.

Our 'Friday morning' daytime band has been a fantastic success. It rehearses at 10:30am to 12:30pm most weeks. As it is a purely 'for' fun session it is open to any player from any band that wants to come along.

We also encourage you all to support us by signing up to 'easyfundraising'.
