Mount Charles Band

"The Background of the organisation can be traced back to 1779 as the Charlestown Regiment Volunteers Band, and after several name changes became the Mount Charles Band which we remain today.

A significant year for the band was 1984, which is when we started an active youth policy and set ourselves some realistic but challenging aims to produce home grown talent and musicians from the surrounding areas.

Since those were set the bands have grown from strength to strength, supporting and training numerous members from beginner to proficient and some onto professional musicians.

Today the organisation is proud to have 3 bands who regularly meet to rehearse and develop our skills and knowledge of brass playing, for the benefit of the local and national public, as well as for ourselves.

There is much more information about the Senior, Youth and Junior bands throughout this website, detailing exactly what we are doing and how far we have progressed together."
