A new home for our Website
The Website has moved to a new domain, in reality it is just a change from .org to .org.uk. Sorry if you have missed us but the change was necessary. Please bear with me while I try and get links changed from third party websites so it points to the new domain and please spread the word!
If anyone has any ideas or photos they would like to see on the website please contact me. I have very few early photos so please contact me. Also I am putting a form on the contact page soon so that your comments can be added to the site

Please check the Engagements section regularly as this will give you a diary of our forthcoming events, as well as events already played. You will see it is a very full diary!
The Band
Christchurch and Highclffe Band is a traditional Brass Band playing a wide variety of music from both traditional and popular genres. We rehearse in Highcliffe see Find Us .
We have recently launched a Training Band (see article below) with the aim of both sharing our love of playing and ensuring our band remains strong well into the next century.
Our M.D. is Lawrence Butchart and President David Hills from Wessex Band Assoc.
Come and Join us
The Band is always looking for new players young and old to join in the enjoyment of creating music.
On Tuesday May 12th 2009 we launched a Training Band at an open evening at the Band rehearsal base. We were very pleased with the event with 16 new players arriving and luckily we found instruments for all!
The event was supported by the Mayor of Christchurch, Cllr. David Flagg.
