Christmas Carolling - December 2011On Sunday 4th December Hangleton Band spread some festive cheer (and raised some well needed funds!) by entertaining shoppers at West Hove Sainsburys. Both the youth and senior bands played for 2 hour sessions, and some hardy members of both bands even played for both! Below are some photos of the Youth Band in action.
Christmas Meal - December 2011On Friday 16th December the band held our annual Christmas Meal. The evening was originally going to be held at a hotel in Hove until a last minute double booking, but luckily West Hove Golf Club was able to cater for us instead at short notice! The meal was also the venue for the annual Hangleton Band Awards (an often dubious honour!) and an intensly fought inter-table timbrels competition. Much fun was had by all and our thanks go to the staff at West Hove Golf Club for the great food and venue.

The Hangleton Brass Band
The Hangleton Band is an active, modern, brass band based in Hangleton, on the outskirts of the city of Brighton and Hove, in Sussex, England, UK. We have both an active Senior and Youth Band and take our membership from a wide cross section of the local community. There are currently around 80 members, some of whom play in both bands, with a group of young learners constantly feeding into the Youth Band, which alone has 50 members
We are the only brass band in the City of Brighton and Hove with charitable status and operate as a single entity with all proceeds from fundraising, concerts and subscriptions being spent on the band, rather than being targeted at any individuals or sections. We have a large repertoire of music with anything from Mozart to Miller to Mercury!
Historically, the policy of the Hangleton Band is to provide an instrument and tuition for any child who wants to learn, giving them the opportunity to learn without the cost of having to buy an instrument (which can be very expensive, sometimes costing up to several thousand pounds!)
Many members of the Hangleton Senior Band give up their time and energies to teach the learners and help the youngsters in the Youth Band.
Youth players range from 8 year old beginners to 18 year old grade 8 musicians, while the Senior Band ranges from talented 13 year olds to an age when it is impolite to be specific!
The Hangleton Band is currently a SCABA (Southern Counties Amateur Bands Association) second section band and competes in the Third Section nationally (promoted 2002).
We play a range of concerts over the year for our own stalwart supporters, and for different audiences in the immediate locality and around the county.
