Members of the Hangleton Band are preparing for the National Brass Band Finals.

The event takes place in Harrogate in Yorkshire on Saturday September 27.

The band is a modern brass band with an active Senior Band and Youth Band. Some of the 80 members play in both bands, with about 50 making up the Youth Band.

Membership is drawn from a wide cross-section of the local community.

Both bands rehearse on Friday evenings at Hangleton Junior School Hall in Northease Drive.

The Youth Band rehearsals are from 6pm to 7.30pm. The Senior Band rehearsals are from 7.45pm to 9.45pm.
