Consisting of local amateur musicians of all ages, the Hemel Hempstead Band, a brass band, based in Hertfordshire, England, continues it's quest to entertain the public more than a century after it's foundation.

The full brass band of 20 - 30 players regularly performs for a variety of public or private functions and concerts at Sports Events, Carnivals, Fetes, Park Bandstands, (including the London Parks), Church events, Shopping Arcades, Remembrance Day Parades, and many other social gatherings, mostly within the Dacorum district of Hertfordshire.

The Band also helps to raise funds for local charities and institutions which in the past have included the Hospice of St Francis, the Macmillan Nurse Appeal, the Sgt Pepper Charity Concerts, the Freemasons Charity Fetes, the Royal British Legion and the Rotary Club of Tring. Opportunities to perform further afield occasionally bring additional interest to the Band's schedule, and performances have been given at Looe in Cornwall, in Turnhout , Belgium, in Hammelberg, and Neu Isenburg, Germany and in Stockholm , Sweden.

Although the playing members are encouraged, and expected, to spend time on individual practice, twice weekly rehearsals and training sessions are held under the control of  the Band's musical director, and during the quieter winter season these rehearsals are directed towards national and local contests, which help to ensure continued interest and further musical progress. The Band has an extensive music library containing nearly 3,000 items of music extending from pop to classics, which is continually being expanded. So, whatever the occasion, the Band will almost certainly have the capability of providing suitable musical entertainment.

The members have free use of a large number of brass musical instruments, all of which are owned, maintained, and insured by the Band, although some members choose to use instruments owned by themselves. However, it is necessary to maintain an acceptable balance of instrumentation when it comes to public performances, and for that reason the Band maintains a large reservoir of equipment. All performing members are provided with uniform jackets and ties.  All money raised by the Band is used to meet running costs.
