Wight Diamonds Marching Band

Music With Friendship - Not just a motto

Our motto is not just a collection of words, it was formed by all that the band does.

Wight Diamonds is a community band formed in 2000. We operate as both a concert band and as a marching band with members from various backgrounds, ages and abilities playing in one or both capacities.

Each year we participate in a variety of events on the Island and the Mainland including carnivals, fetes, bandstands, concerts and private events.
On this website you will be able to find out more about us, where we are appearing and even how to get involved.

Practice Night

If you play a musical instrument or would like to learn to play a musical instrument in a fun environment, why not come along to one of our practice nights and see what we are about?
Practice nights are held on Tuesdays (19:15 - 21:00) at Cowes Methodist Church, Birmingham Rd, Cowes.

Missed us at Newport Carnival? Well never fear, we’ve got 3 engagements this weekend so there’s lots of opportunities to see us in action.

On Friday 25th July we’ll be playing jointly with another Island band, Vectis Corps of Drums, at Sandown Children’s Carnival. The carnival will leave Sandham Grounds at 3pm and will finish at Eastern Gardens around 3:45pm.

On Saturday 26th July we’ll be participating in Sandown Main Carnival which will leave Sandown Esplanade at 7:00pm and will work its way through the town centre before finishing back where it started.

On Sunday 27th July we’ll be taking part in the Island Highland Gathering which takes place at Northwood House, Cowes between 10am and 5pm. This annual event celebrates all things Scottish from food and the traditional Highland Games to dancing and pipers. We will be performing 3 displays at 11am, 12:30pm and 2:50pm culminating in a massed band and pipers finale at 5pm.

Hopefully you’ll see an engagement that piques your interest so head on down and check us out!
