Helston Town Band has, in one form or another, had a 'training' group for many years. Over recent times, the band evolved following the merger of the Junior and Training bands, and the Concert Band now incorporates younger players who have moved up from the beginners group, players who do not want the full time commitment of contest banding and also players returning from retirement.
The band, initially known as Helston 'B' Band was renamed Helston Town Concert Band in 2013 to acknowledge the positive steps the group had made, and also to ensure that the link between the senior and concert remained strong.
Ashley Chinn, who plays percussion in the main band, is the Musical Director for The Concert Brass
