The Hawk Green Band was originally formed in 1982 as a junior feeder band to The Marple Band and was known first as Marple Brass and then as Marple 'B' Band. It has just had its 25th anniversary.
In 1986 it started to compete in contests, having its first win at the Pilkington Northern Open Contest in St. Helens in 1988.
In 1997 the band took its current name of Hawk Green (Marple) Band.
The band is in the Third Section, North West Area.

We rehearse, under the baton of Phil Pavey, at the Cricket Club in Hawk Green, a small village just outside Marple. Rehearsals take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays (8pm-10pm).
Visitors and prospective players are always welcome.
