Welcome to the Hawick Saxhorn Band website!
The Hawick Saxhorn Band is situated in the lovely town of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders!
We play at different events during the year, from January right to December. We do mainly concerts and marches, but we sometimes go to rallys and other shows.
Our band takes place on Monday nights from 7.00pm until 8.30pm, and on Thursday night 7.15pm until 8.30pm. There is also a junior band for our younger players which takes place on Thursday evenings before senior band, from 6.30pm until 7.15pm.
More info will be up soon!

Hello,
I am related to one of the previous conductors of the Hawick Saxhorn Band. His name was Robert Rimmer, born 1863 at Southport, Lancashire and was a professor of music. Robert Rimmer moved to the Scottish Borders (Hawick) circa 1908-1910 before moving to Kirkcaldy where he lived out his life. He was the brother of the famous bandmaster/conductor/composer, William Rimmer and the noted conductor/composer, Arthur Drake Rimmer.
Should you have any information regarding Robert Rimmer and the time he spent with the Hawick Saxhorn Band, I would be most interested.
