Barnsley Metropolitan
History
The band was established in 1974 under the name of Barnsley Music Centre Brass Band. It has evolved over the last 50 years to become Barnsley Metropolitan Band.
Over its 50 years, the band have always valued a strong connection to civic events, while creating a safe and progressive place for young musicians.
Parents and carers have been invited to learn alongside their children and the band built a real family feel to membership. Many members have stayed with the band as they moved into adult working life or returning after university studies. Now, the band boasts a mixed membership of musicians aged from ten to over 60.
We are all looking forward, especially our younger members, to be playing in the National Finals.
