Welcome to Test Valley Brass
Welcome to Test Valley Brass - an organisation dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of live brass band music

of concerts and events throughout the year.

players of all abilities and performs at a wide range of engagements from formal concerts, to flower shows, summer fetes,
parades, birthday parties and carol services.

and enjoyable environment to play within a brass band, performing at a range of concerts and fetes throughout the year.

young learners to the art of playing in an ensemble before 'graduating' to the Youth Band (under 19's only).

adults which introduces complete beginners to playing brass and percussion instruments in an ensemble before 'graduating'

Test Valley Brass AGM
Test
Valley Brass is a registered charity and each year, around March or April, it holds an AGM to elect a TVB Committee to
manage Test Valley Brass; as well as review the year's bands activities and accounts, which is open for members to
ask questions about. The management of this successful group of brass bands, depends on volunteers who are members and
their support in maintaining a well run community facility. The TVB bands help to develop young musicians and support
local community events, along with giving youngsters, teenagers and adults an opportunity to work as a team, culminating
in successful brass band concerts enjoyed by the residents of Andover, and occassionally by residents of Andover's
twin towns in Goch in Germany and Redon in France, and this year, in Portugal.
Note: The next AGM is scheduled
for Monday
31st march 2014 8pm to be held at John Hanson School, TVB
Band Room
Last year's AGM minutes are available to download and are approved by the charity
committee. If you require a copy before the meeting, please download from our TVB downloads page.
