Wessex Military Band - Winter Concert

From its humble beginnings as a youth band in 1981, the Wessex Military Band has grown into a vibrant and cherished part of the South West’s musical landscape. In 1990, the band was invited by the British Army to become the Voluntary Band of the Army Air Corps, based at Middle Wallop near Andover. At the time, the Corps did not have its own regimental band, and this collaboration filled that gap with pride and professionalism. Although the Army disbanded its volunteer band system in 1993, the spirit and dedication of the musicians endured – and so, the Wessex Military Band was born.
