Today, The Brantford School of Instrumental Music offers progressive musical instruction in First, Second and Third Year groups. As each student becomes experienced and exhibits an eagerness to learn, the student is promoted to the next level of training. Members are then recruited to the Bell City Concert Band and, ultimately, into the Brantford Memorial Concert Band.

The Brantford Memorial Concert Band presented its first series of Sunday Serenades in 1961 to an audience of 150. Today, over 800 people enjoy our Sunday Serenades presented four times a year (February, May, October and December) at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts. The band entertains large audiences at various senior citizen facilities in Brant County each spring. Under the baton of Director of Music Sean Colwell and Assistant Director Ken Black, the Band performs a wide variety of music to delight its audiences time and time again.
