Based in West Sussex, Bognor Regis Concert Band is Bognor's very own concert band.
The band performs regularly at the Bognor bandstands, on the Seafront and in Hotham Park. Annual engagements include the popular "Proms in the Park", the opening of the Arundel Fringe Festival and Bognor Carnival. Other engagements include Worthing Assembly Hall, Felpham Village Hall, Alexandra Theatre, Butlins, Our Lady of Sorrows Church, St Thomas A'Becket Church, Royal Norfolk Hotel and residential homes around a wide area.
