The band diary is almost booked up for 2006 and the band are especially busy through the summer period. Please support the band at these (mostly free) events. See engagements section for details.

On Sunday 12th March 2006, the Morecambe Senior Band competed in the 3rd Section of the North West Regional Championship.

The band met at the band room at 7.00am and then set off to Poulton-le-Fylde bandroom. We rehearsed there from 8.15am-9.00am, then after a brief speech from the conductor Mark Vause we returned to the coach and awaited a phonecall for the draw. We soon found out that we had drawn 14th (second to last). Some were not happy by this as it made it into a long drawn out and nervous day. However, this was a good contesting draw, and we felt with only fifteen bands in the section, at least with a good solid performance the adjudicator would remember us.

Tickets have gone on sale for Morecambe Brass Band's Annual Easter Concert at 'The Platform' on Friday 14th April. Unlike other years the band has decided not to have a theme for this year's concert. Instead the band has spent £300 on new music and have decided to highlight these exciting and beautiful pieces during the evening.  The music will come from various genres and the audience are guaranteed a wonderful evening of music making. Tickets are available from 'The Platform' box office and are priced £6 for adults and £3 for children.

Morecambe Brass Band Musical Director Chris Larder wishes to thank all players of the band for the ahrd work and commitment they have given in preparation for the North West Regional Brass Band Championships. The band will have eventually completed fourteen rehearsals in three weeks in their bid for a successful return to contesting.

The Morecambe Brass Band Association is delighted to welcome Laurie Johnston as the conductor of the Morecambe Brass Ensemble. The current MD of the ensemble Chris Larder has stepped down due to his current workload. The Morecambe Brass Ensemble and MBBA committee wish Laurie a happy and successful time with the band.
