I am delighted to welcome you to the Camborne Town Band Music Society website incorporating the Camborne Town Band, Camborne Brass and Camborne Youth Band, including the Junior Band and learners.
We aim to encourage continuous improvement and are immensely proud of all of our bands as they continue the long-standing record of success both at contests and concerts.
Our band room on the Camborne Community Centre site was refurbished and extended following a Big Lottery Peoples Millions grant and is open and accessible for all by prior arrangement.
