Stone Town Band has a history of contesting, but was forced to curtail these activities in the mid-1990s due to financial constraints. However, the band continues to perform at many events in and around Stone.

The band has recently begun to contest once more. Its first appearance in a contest since the mid-1990s was at Bolsover in 2010. The band came first in the un-registered section at that contest and is now registering as a fourth section band for the 2011 season.

Stone Town Band actively seeks to enrich the cultural life of Stone and to ensure that the musical traditions of the brass band movement are passed on to the next generation. In order to further these aims, the band has an ongoing training programme.

If you are interested in sponsoring the band so that it can expand these training activities and further its contesting ambitions, please e-mail Sylvia or telephone the band on 07900 467529.
