The Oxted Band Spring Concert will be held on Saturday 4th May at St John’s Church, Hurst Green, Surrey RH8 9EA at 7.30pm, and will feature another soloist in our ‘Stars of Brass’ series.
This year our special guest will be Steven Kane, solo baritone of the number 1 ranked brass band in the World, the Cory Band. Steven comes from Bexleyheath in South London, but moved to Wales for his studies and has enjoyed huge success while he has been a member of Cory, winning all of the major brass band competitions both nationally and internationally with them.
Steven’s father Derick, who recently retired as principal euphonium of the International Staff Band of the Salvation Army after over 40 years, will be playing a duet with Steven in the concert.
Tickets are £7.50, and will be available on the door.
Refreshments, included in the ticket price, will be served at the interval. (We welcome donations for refreshments but it is not compulsory).

Our Spring Contest is moving to a new venue and date in 2020!
The new date – 8th March – gives bands an ideal opportunity to run their set test pieces out ahead of the Regional qualifying contest, and our section structure and relaxed registration rules open the contest up to Ungraded and Youth bands too.
The new venue – the Attenborough Centre – is a purpose-built performing arts facility on the University of Sussex campus, close to the seaside town of Brighton and beautiful parkland. More info can be found on the ACCA Website
Watch the contesting page of this website and follow #scabaSpring20 for updates and entry forms which will be published in December.
