Christmas 2019
The Band outdid last year, with 12 outings through the lead up to Christmas,. We turned out willingly, often in the cold and damp, and at BH2 with very impressive snow! We are very grateful to our collectors, particularly to Martin and to our very own elf, Julie.
Our thanks to Shannon Butler for the photos in the snow!

We won a cup!
We competed in the Wessex Brass Band Contest in November. This was the first time in many years that the band has taken part in a contest, and the first experience many of us have had of competing.
"This new Unregistered Section was won in wonderful fashion by Christchurch & Highcliffe Brass who played 'Divertimento' by Bryan Kelly." 4barsrest.com

Brownsea Island Scone Fest, Sept 2015
A Perfect Day in Poole Harbour
This was C and H Brass at its best. With a backdrop of Brownsea Castle and a blue sky, the Band played five sessions through the day to a very appreciative audience. A perfect finale to an excellent summer concert season. The smile o Lawrence's face as we all embarked for Sandbanks at 4.15pm said it all!

Christmas 2014
Christchurch Quay, Sept 2014
As caught by visiting phtotographer, John B Davies:
"Great show on Sunday. Although we were at Christchurch for only an hour or so, the sound of BRASS set the mood and made the experience a memorable visit... and the young man was fantastic."

Brass on the Grass
The weather on Sunday at Christchurch Quay was perfect for a Fun Day by the sea. There were stalls of ice-cream and food, circus training, fire-eating and, just overhead, an amazing display of birds of prey of all sizes. Then, to crown a glorious day, a brass band started to play from the elegant rotunda.
