The DSFRS Concert Band performs across Devon and Somerset throughout the year, including at open days, fêtes and concerts for a wide variety of organisations and charities, both as the full Concert Band and as smaller Wind and Brass Ensembles. We are proud to represent the Fire Service in our activities.
We also perform at the annual Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service Awards Ceremony, Service Headquarters Open Day, and at the Blue Light Carol Service held at Exeter Cathedral. The Concert Band has a varied repertoire including military marches, classical pieces, big band classics, pop and ragtime numbers, and medleys from films and musicals, as well as some contemporary music. If you are interested in the Band playing at one of your events, or you have any other enquiries, please refer to the ‘Contact Us’ page. Tickets for our own concerts are available through TicketSource.
