​

Sandhurst Silver has always grown its own learners and at most times in the band’s history there has been a junior band of some sort, where developing players can practise performing as an ensemble.

​

In 2006 the “Thursday nighters” group gained an independent existence within the band as the Sandhurst Community Brass. They rehearse on Thursday evenings from 8:00 - 9:45 pm.

​

It includes developing players young and old, and has fulfilled a number of engagements. With the main band heading for even giddier heights, the training band has now been renamed Sandhurst Community Brass, reflecting its expanded role as a more relaxed alternative for experienced players without the pressures of contesting.

​

Sandhurst Community Brass continues to develop its skills and repertoire, and welcomes new members of all ranges of ability.
