铜管乐队产生于英国19世纪工业革命时期，那时很多工人在业余时间都热衷于参加政治活动，老板们为了转移他们的注意力，于是纷纷资助工人们成立铜管乐队，老板们的目的达到了，早期的铜管乐队也就这样慢慢建立起来了。但到底哪个乐队最先成立，目前还无法确定，而能够确定的拥有最悠久历史且最负盛名的乐队之一是本盘的演奏团体、1816年成立于英格兰的黑磨坊(Black Dyke Mills)铜管乐队。
随着乐器制作技术、院校管乐教育以及演奏水平的不断提高，1860年英国已经拥有了750多支铜管乐队。初期这些乐队的乐器配备不够完善，一直到了19世纪后期，配置齐全的铜管乐队才初步成型。随后乐队之间的竞争愈加激烈，客观上促进了铜管乐队的普及和发展。目前在英国主要有两项铜管乐队赛事，即全英铜管乐锦标赛和英国铜管乐公开赛。全英锦标赛是唯一向英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士开放的比赛，1856年以来，这个赛事一直是不定期举行的，直到1900年由Arthur Sullivan爵士正式接管本赛事后，才真正规范和延续下来。
始于1853年的英国公开赛，主要是邀请世界各国的乐队参加，第一届的优胜乐队是Mossley Temperance Saxhorn Band。这两大比赛都是每年秋天举行，竞争非常激烈，无论赢得哪项比赛乐手们都会感到无尚的光荣。据英国媒体报道，参加比赛的乐队赛前每周至少排练三个晚上，到了比赛前一星期更是每天晚上都排练。还有其它青年铜管乐比赛也是如此，他们使得学习演奏铜管乐的人越来越多。
英国现在有几千支铜管乐队，其中大部分成立于1900年之前，起初都是由当地的煤矿成立，至今还有一些企业赞助。这些乐队中很多乐队成员是利用业余时间参加乐队排练演出，他们的职业是公司职员，随着乐队水平的提高以及频繁的演出锻炼，其中部分人转为职业乐手了，如纽约交响乐团的小号首席Phil Smith 以及芝加哥交响乐团的长号演奏家Michael Mulcahy等等。如今，英式铜管乐队在日本、澳大利亚和新西兰等国也很受欢迎。最近几年，铜管乐队在很多欧洲国家也相继成立。欧洲铜管乐队比赛也同样如火如荼。
