The Rogerstone Band was formed in 1948, initially as a wind band but soon converting wholly to brass. Under its first conductors, Mr Tom Morgan and Mr Sam Roberts, the band maintained a steady progression from 4th Section to 2nd Section by the late 1960's.

Following the untimely death of 'Sam', the baton passed to Mr. Brian Buckley. Building on these strong foundations, 1970 saw the band achieve a record of twelve 1st and two 2nd prizes from fourteen local and national contests. The jewel in the crown - the title of 2nd Section Champion Band of Great Britain.

The following year the band won the 1st Section at the Welsh Area Championships, gaining its first appearance at The Royal Albert Hall, and also 3rd place at the European Championships held in Brussels. Two further appearances were made in the 1st Section of The National Championships before a steady change in fortunes and personnel saw the band moving back to the 2nd Section. In 1992 and 1993 the band again qualified to represent Wales at the National Championships in London and gained a short-lived promotion back to the 1st section.

In 2000 the band once again qualified to represent Wales at the National Championships of Great Britain and have again regained national and local 1st Section status. At the end of 2001 the band were joint runners-up in Wales.

The band works hard to encourage young players via its junior and learner sections. With a mixture of enthusiastic young, and not-so-young, players we continue with our aim to make The Rogerstone Band a more potent force in the brass band world.
