Blackburn & Darwen Band, a cornerstone of our community's musical heritage, is embarking on an exciting new chapter, and we need your help! This year, we’re proudly celebrating 185 years of inspiring music, camaraderie, and tradition. To continue this legacy, we’re launching a Crowdfunder to support two vital initiatives: recruiting for our Community Band and marking this incredible milestone with a celebratory event.
Building the Future: Community Band Recruitment
Music transforms lives, builds confidence, and fosters lifelong friendships. By investing in our Community Band, we aim to pass the baton to the next generation of musicians. Your support will help us:
- Provide instruments for young learners.
- Offer free or low-cost lessons to make music accessible to everyone.
- Host fun workshops and events to inspire a love of brass band music.
With your help, we can create opportunities for local children to discover their musical potential, regardless of their background.
Honouring 185 Years of Excellence
This milestone year deserves a celebration to remember! We’re planning a spectacular event to honour our rich history, thank our supporters, and showcase the incredible talents of our Senior Band. Contributions will help cover:
- Venue and event costs for our anniversary celebration.
- Special performances and collaborations.
- Archiving and sharing our band’s storied history with the community.
