Trimdon Concert Brass Band
Art & Culture
We want to buy new instruments, uniforms and equipment to enable more people to join us.
About this cause
Trimdon Brass is a friendly, motivated and progressive fourth section band which began its life as Thornley Colliery Band in 1870. The band relocated to the village of Trimdon, County Durham in the early 1990s. We have a flexible approach to membership and welcome players of varying ages and abilities (our youngest member is only eight years old and our oldest is over eighty). We also have a junior band (with 15 members) and drum class which offer tuition and the loan instruments at no charge. The full band rehearses twice a week at Trimdon Station Community Centre. We are very active in the local community and represent Trimdon (and the North East) at concerts, civic functions and in competitions both locally and nationally.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We are very active in the local community and represent Trimdon (and the North East) at concerts, civic functions and in competitions both locally and nationally. We perform for the local community at carol services, remembrance parades, in nursing homes, the local school, community fetes and also accompany the local Mining Banner into Durham Miners Gala.
