- Amington_Band abstract "Amington Band which is a brass band was started in 1917, with Roland Davis as Bandmaster using old instruments until they could raise enough money to buy new ones. After they had raised enough money, they also employed a professional tutor, William Pollard. They began to enter competitions and soon began to win them, including the National Brass Band contest held in Crystal Palace in 1924.Much success followed and in 1928 they built their own band room and also performed on the BBC and became one of the leading bands in the country. During the 80's Amington Band had a bit of a hat trick they came 1st place in 4th section in 1985, 1st Place in Third Section in 1986 and 1st Place in Second section in 1987.However, during the 90's the band began to decline but thanks to committed players the band was revived.
