The Rode Hall Silver Band is a 3rd Section contesting band competing in the North West area. Originally formed in 1837 as a fife and drum band, it transitioned to its current brass band format in 1886.

Today, the band performs at numerous events across South Cheshire and Staffordshire, bringing high-quality brass music to local communities. Alongside its busy concert schedule, the band actively competes in contests to challenge its players and refine its sound.

In recent years, Rode Hall Silver Band has enjoyed great success on the contest stage, achieving 2nd and 3rd prizes at the Wychavon Festival of Brass 2018, 2nd place at Brass at the Guild 2019, and another 2nd place at the North West Area Regional Championships. This result secured the band’s promotion to the 3rd Section and an invitation to the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, where they proudly finished 5th. More recently, in 2025, the band secured 1st prize at the NEMBBA contest under the baton of its new Musical Director, Ken Mackintosh.

With a strong focus on player development and musical excellence, Rode Hall Silver Band looks forward to continuing its tradition of entertaining audiences and achieving success on the contest stage for many years to come.
