Women In Brass Bands

Do you think we should see more female conductors in brass banding? Whilst the numbers may be growing, they are an under-represented group in our sector. Why is that and what can be done to increase their opportunities and encourage more women to take up the baton?

To celebrate International Womens Day we are celebrating all the women in banding. Women play a core role in bands at all levels as players, conductors, organisers, committee members, adjudicators, composers and many other jobs these fabulous people do to help make banding brilliant! Send us pictures of your fab banding women to celebrate everyones amazing contributions.To celebrate we included music composed by Lucy Pankhurst as our sound track for the day with Once in Never performed by Tom Hutchinson!
