Who are we
Hessle High School Drum Corps come from Hessle, a town in East Yorkshire, close to the city of Kingston upon Hull, England.
Hessle is famous for being at one end of the second largest single-span suspension bridge in the world.
The band, consisting of around 30 members aged between 10 & 25+, play a variety of instruments, namely:
Percussion: Snares, Bass Drum, Quads Cymbals
Tuned Percussion: Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Marimba
Wind: Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, Contrabass
The band also incorporates a colourguard, a team of girls using flags to highlight and emphasise the bands musical performances.
We are based at Hessle High School, although we run as a separate entity from the school. Membership of the band is found from around the region.
