Who are we?
The Littlehampton Concert Band is a local community Band serving Littlehampton and the surrounding area. The aim of the band is to make music in a fun and interactive way and we enjoy putting on concerts and playing at a number of events around West Sussex.
The key to the band's achievement is the fun, interactive approach that it has towards music. There is no set standard and the only thing they ask is that the members simply try their best and have fun in the process. As a result, the band has a wide variety of members of all ages and standards. More experienced musicians get to try some challenging music and the less experienced members have a great time developing their skills and learning from their colleagues.
In recent years, the band has started heading out into the wide world and now regularly puts on trips to perform (and have a good time) in other countries such as France and Germany.
The band also enjoys an active social scene with regular events such as bowling, meals out, trips to musicals and parties. This makes for a great atmosphere and helps promote a real sense of community spirit.

When do we meet?
We meet every Thursday evening from 7:30pm until 9:30pm including a break for a cuppa in the middle.
There is also an early session from 6:30pm to help beginners and those that wish to work more slowly on some of the music. Ideal for that bit of extra practice!

The band has a wide range of music in it's repertoire and we pride ourselves on playing something for everybody, including marches, fanfares, medleys and a lot of well known themes from films, television and west-end shows.
The music we play is of varying standard so that there is plenty of enjoyment for the beginner and experienced musician alike.
