British brass band
A British brass band is a musical ensemble comprising a standardised range of brass and percussion instruments. The modern form of the brass band in the United Kingdom dates back to the 19th century, with a vibrant tradition of competition based around communities and local industry, with colliery bands being particularly notable. The Stalybridge Old Band (still in existence) was formed in 1809 and was perhaps the first civilian brass band in the world.
Bands using the British instrumentation are the most common form of brass band in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, and are also widespread in continental Europe, Japan and North America. The tradition for brass bands in the UK is continuing, and local communities and schools have brass bands, such as The Ouston and Pelton Community brass band, which draws their new members from more than seven local schools.〔()〕 A selection of brass bands can be experienced at the annual Durham Miners' Gala.
==Silver band==
The term, ''silver band'', is synonymous with ''brass band'' in this sense; the vast majority of bands termed either ''brass'' or ''silver'' incorporate musicians playing both lacquered and silver-plated instruments. In the days when brass instruments were not as costly as silver plated ones, the term, ''silver band'', implied a band that could afford the latter and thus were a more successful band. Now, however, the costs are similar and the distinction between brass and silver bands is generally not made. There are, however, some brass bands who carried the name, ''silver prize band'', as a result of their successes in contests and competitions. As time went on, some kept the name, ''silver'' but not necessarily the instruments. Nowadays, the only real difference is that silver bands are located mainly in the south of England and brass bands in the north, although some silver bands do still exist in the North and many brass bands exist in the South.
