The Band was formed in March 1978 by the late Leighton Rich M.B.E. as there was no opportunity in Harrogate for young people to play in a brass band. About 15 young people turned up to the first practice and they had to have a collection to find money for. As word got around the schools, more people became interested and the numbers grew to about 28 very quickly. Lack of instruments was a problem, but some were donated and some members had their own, so they just about managed. Within a year they were entering competitions in the area and even winning some.
