Brassbanned has been streaming the universe’s best banding since 2008. That’s 18+ years of championships, concerts, interviews and the occasional heroic cable untangle. We are awesome, amazing, exceptional and globally acclaimed, and every single stream is free to watch. Donations from Loyal Viewers like you are what keep the cameras rolling.

Why is it free to watch?

We passionately believe that community music making, especially brass and concert banding, is an amazing thing the whole world should be hearing. Put up a paywall and fewer people experience that fabulous music. We want the band movement to grow: more players, more bands, and all the existing bands sounding even better (no offence!). The best way to do that is to put banding in front of people who aren’t involved yet, and nobody pays to watch something they’re not yet interested in. So the streams stay free. You’re welcome, universe.

So instead of Pay Per View, we ask for your support. Please note we are not a registered charity. We’re just exceptionally dedicated.

What your support does

We’re sensational when a contest is on (you may have noticed), but we’d love to do more between events too: more interviews, more streams, more time invested in the banding world. Regular monthly support from Loyal Viewers makes that possible.

So please consider donating! $5, $20, $100, $1,000,000… every bit is hugely appreciated.

You can also grab some merch at the trade stands or buy online. Or just bring Tim a coffee. That works too.

Thanks to all our Loyal Viewers for your support!
