Crawley Contest - May 2000

In May Hangleton played in the second section at the Crawley SCABA contest. It turned out to be a prize winning performance as the band was awarded first place. As these pictures show everyone was very happy with the result!

 

Millennium Dome - June 2000

As part of the millennium celebrations Hangleton, along with Brighton and Hove's two other brass bands, Patcham and Brighton were invited to play at the Millennium Dome in Greenwich. The combined youth bands of Hangleton and Patcham bands played in the main arena in the morning, while the combined senior bands played outside in the main square in the afternoon. And in between band members had a chance to look around the dome for free!

 

Millennium Brass Weekend - July 2000

The centerpiece of the band's millennium celebrations saw Hangleton, Brighton and Patcham bands joining forces to put on the combined 'Living Brass' concert at Hove Town Hall. The result was an event where the band played to one one of its biggest ever audiences (well, until Borde Hill at least!). Also in the run up to the concert each of the bands played at the Ellipse on Brighton seafront.

 

The Hangleton Band rehearses at Hangleton Junior School, Dale View, Hove, on Friday evenings.
Youth Band 6:00pm - 7:30pm , Senior Band- 7:45pm - 9:45pm.

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.

Alternatively, if you are interested in booking us to play at your event, please contact our Band Manager, Rachel Taylor.
