The Kibworth Brass Band is a friendly and long‑established village brass band based in Kibworth Beauchamp, South Leicestershire. Founded in 1905, the band has enjoyed many successful years, including regular appearances at the National Finals and the Blackpool Contests, and is currently graded nationally in the Championship Section.
We perform an extensive range of music, from traditional brass band repertoire to jazz, swing, dance band, modern pop, classical favourites and film music, as well as contemporary works written specifically for brass band. This variety allows us to perform at an equally wide range of events, including formal concerts, community fetes, weddings, birthday celebrations, proms, firework displays, corporate dinners, outdoor events and much more. Whatever the occasion, we bring a warm, polished and engaging musical experience.
The band rehearses on Monday and Thursday evenings in our purpose‑built band room, where new players and visitors are always welcome.
Alongside the senior band, the Kibworth Centenary Youth organisation offers young musicians the chance to learn, grow and perform. We run two ensembles: the Kibworth Centenary Youth Brass Band for players of Grade 2 standard and above, and the Kibworth Centenary Training Band for beginners working towards that level. Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings, giving children the opportunity to develop their skills, gain ensemble experience, and perform in concerts and competitions as they progress toward joining a senior band.
