The City of Oxford Silver Band is a long-established competing, performing and touring band playing in the British brass band tradition. The band is notable for its emphasis on training and being the progenitor of several other bands in the local area.〔These include the ''Morris Motors Brass Band'' (1924), the ''Kennington (Oxford) Youth Band'' and ''Oxford Concert Brass'' (1972) and ''Jubilee Brass Band'' (1977).〕 Having been founded in the mid 19th century it is the oldest surviving brass band in the county of Oxfordshire.〔COSB website〕 Its motto is 'Amicitia per musicam' ('Friendship through music' ). == Origins and history ==
According to the band's official history it was formed as the ''Headington Brass Band'', in 1887 by AJ Taylor, three of his sons and eight other friends.〔''Oxford Mail'', 19 October 2013, (Silver band concert will mark 125 years )〕〔COSB website〕〔Victor Sugden "An Oxford Diary" gives an exact date of 11 February 1887 but provides no source.〕 In fact the ''Headington Brass Band'' had been playing at marches, village feasts and fêtes at least as far back as far as 1849〔''Jackson's Oxford Journal'', 2 July 1849〕 and Alfred Taylor, a carpenter, and his three brothers are recorded as being members in 1857.〔Jackson's Oxford Journal, 18 July 1857〕 It is possible that 1887 saw some form of reorganisation. In the 19th century the band's activities included playing at village feasts, horticultural and livestock shows, Friendly Society gatherings, processions and marches. In the summer of 1887 the band played at celebrations to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.〔''Jackson's Oxford Journal'', 23 July 1887〕 In 1894, at the Oxford Waterman's regatta, the band played from the Varsity barge.〔''Jackson's Oxford Journal'', 29 August 1894〕
