The Band was originally formed as the Croydon Temperance Silver Band in 1911.

It has subsequently undergone a number of name changes:

• Croydon Borough Band

• Croydon Co-op Brass Band 1977 - 1998

• Croydon Brass Band 1998 - 2009

• Croydon Brass  2010 - present

The Band has rehearsed in several different venues in Croydon over the years.  However in 1967, with the development of Croydon Town Centre, the Band was left homeless.  This meant a move out of Croydon and for the following ten years the Band rehearsed in the Sutton Arts Centre.  In 1977 the Band secured a sponsorship deal with the South Suburban Co-operative Society.  The Band then rehearsed at the London Road Co-op store in Croydon, until the Band was forced to move when the store was closed.  After a spell rehearsing in Addiscombe the Band moved to Parchmore Methodist Church and Community Centre in Thornton Heath where it remained until the end of 2018.  Between January 2019 and December 2024 the Band rehearsed at Stanley Halls in South Norwood thereafter moving into its new home at Salvation Army Hall, Penge.
