Marking the passing of our founder and first musical director, Ian Milligan, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday 15th January.
Friend, mentor, guide, and teacher, his influence in our musical journey was immense.
Rest well, maestro, we play on with fond memories and thanks.

[Callander Brass @CallanderBrass]

Apologies for short notice, but due to sickness and unavailability there will be no rehearsal tonight. See everyone next week, hopefully!!!

Congratulations to MD, Phil Guy, leading us in our first full concert under his baton, which we as band members have thoroughly enjoyed preparing for and performing.
Now, bring on the madness of Brass Band December!!!! #christmasBrassBand

Thank you to our audience this evening at our 'At Home' Concert, who raised over £150 and certainly appeared to enjoy our blend of brass band music and feature solo performers from McLaren High School.
