We are not professional musicians, although a few have a semi-professional musical element to their working life, some of us are retired. The aim of the band is to make music, live music. We operate on an equal opportunity basis, the only requirement is an enthusiasm to make music with wind or percussion instruments at almost any level (although it is not recommended for absolute beginners!).

We have a variety of professions among our players: (in no particular order) a chemical engineer, a computer analyst & programmer, a plumber, a retailer, secretaries of various sorts, a company director, some students and some who have retired from the rat race.

A range of non-musical interests is also to be found from playing bridge and solving crosswords to extreme sports via steam-train enthusiasm and model railways, science-fiction and several stops between.

We cover a wide range of ages from young to more senior and a range of musical experience.
Most live in the Borough of Harrow or adjoining boroughs, but some travel up to 30 miles every week for rehearsal and for concerts.
