What People Say About Us

I attended the Taunton Concert Band’s performance at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre last month, and it was fantastic! The musicians were incredibly talented, and the selection of music was both diverse and engaging. I especially loved their rendition of classic movie themes. Highly recommend catching one of their shows!

The Taunton Concert Band never disappoints! Their recent concert was a delightful mix of contemporary and traditional pieces. The conductor’s enthusiasm was infectious, and the band’s performance was flawless. It’s always a treat to see them live.

The Taunton Concert Band’s Christmas concert at St James Church was absolutely magical! The band’s performance was filled with festive cheer. They played a wonderful mix of classic Christmas carols and modern holiday tunes, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. A perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
