The Band and its Training Band keep its links with village by performing at local events. One of the most popular occasions is the famous Lympstone Furry Dance which takes place on the first Saturday of August. The band leads a procession of brightly dressed dancers through the winding village streets. This traditional part of the village life dates back to 14th century for trading and possibly even further back into pagan times.
The band also gives regular concerts at venues in Exeter and East Devon, notably at the Annual Family Memorial Service each July at Exeter Crematorium, and takes part in Remembrance Services and parades and other community events. Previous engagements include prestigious appearances at St George's Hall, Exeter as a featured event under the wing of the very successful Exeter Festival. One of which was in November 2007. The band joined forces with the Exeter Symphony Orchestra, Exmouth and Ottery St Mary Choral Societies and Soloist Alison Burnett at the Great Hall in Exeter to raise money for the FORCE Cancer Charity. Other events have included a joint concert with the highly regarded Bodmin Town Band, and an appearance with the Mount Charles Band at Plymouth Pavilions in February 2000.
