Who are we?

We are a concert/military band based at RAF Halton in Wendover, near Aylesbury (see map). For those with a keen eye you might recognise the stairs from the Netflix production "Bridgerton".  Its members come from all walks of life, including the Armed Forces and the Civil Service. The majority of the band are local civilians who travel from a wide area to meet for rehearsals. We rehearse every Tuesday evening from 7.30 - 9.30pm. We do have a break for a coffee and a chat around 8.30. Our main aim is to support the RAF and sister services, hence we wear RAF uniform (which is provided free of charge). Having said that, the majority of our band engagements are playing in various parks during the summer months. 

Overall we perform around 20 - 25 engagements a year, but the majority of those are official functions attended by one of our ensembles. Over the past few years we have performed as part of the massed bands at the Shrewsbury Flower Show, Massed RAF Voluntary Bands concert in Symphony Hall and at Windsor Castle. We play on bandstands thoughout Bucks, Berks and surrounding counties, including Windsor, Amersham and Henley.

We perform around 4 - 6 concerts a year, mainly in support of local charities, and generally have a full concert band on these occasions.
