History

2007 marked Abingdon Concert Band's 30th Anniversary.  The Band was originally formed in 1977 by Derek Jones and Alan Bolder (who still plays in the Band today) as Abingdon Military Band.  The name was subsequently changed to Abingdon Concert Band in 1988 to better reflect the varied music that we play - our repertoire does still include some military style marches, but also much more besides as you can see from our previous programmes.   Over the years we have given over 150 public performances in and around the Abingdon area.  These have included fetes, concerts and charity events.

Musical Director

The Band is currently under the baton of the talented Philip Burditt.

Sponsorship 

Abingdon Concert Band would like to thank National Lottery Awards for All; Abingdon Town Council and Vale of White Horse District Council for their financial support.
