About Us

Chichester City Band, founded in 1897, has a long and proud history spanning over 125 years. We are a Brass Band in the true British tradition with over 30 members who share a passion for making music together. We are an inclusive, ambitious and enthusiastic group of amateur musicians, united in getting the most from our hobby while maintaining a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. As with most bands, we often have seats to fill and you can find out more on our “Join the Band” Page

In keeping with brass band traditions, the Band has, over the years, taken part in competitions and enjoyed success on many occasions. Most recently we have represented London & Southern Counties at the last four National 3rd Section Finals in Cheltenham. Our consistent results in the Regional contests mean that we now compete in Section 2 which is equivalent to League 1 of the English Football League.
