EHCB was formed in 1989 and can celebrate its first ten years. The band has played
many concerts in various parts of East Herts, in-doors and out. At Easter 1992 EHCB
toured in Holland and in February 1996 made its first recordings of music by Marvin
Hamlisch, Robert Farnon and Timothy Blinko for Music in the Air.
In July 1996 the band and East Herts Youth Orchestra visited Florida at the invitation
of Florida Sympony Youth Orchestra giving concerts in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando,
Disney's EPCOT, Sarasota and Tarpon Springs. EHCB has a wide repertoire made up of
music from films and shows, arrangements of orchestral classics and music written
specifically for the modern symphonic wind orchestra.
In 1999 EHCB joined bands from Iceland and Germany for concerts in Broxbourne Civic Hall and Castle Hall, Herford. We hope
that this will lead to further collaboration.
A tour is being planned for Summer 2002, which it is hoped will be based in the Black Forest area of Germany.
