Welcome to the website of Torrington Silver Band.

We’ve been in existence for over fifty years, and whether we’re taking part in national competitions, playing in local carnivals or holding concerts, our combination of fun, enthusiasm and hard work shine through for all to enjoy.

We always like to meet new members. Why not come and join us? We can offer:-

• Free use of an instrument
• A lively social atmosphere
• The chance to meet new friends

We welcome experienced players, but equally welcome are those who want to come and learn. We have a thriving junior section consisting of both children and adults, and when you're good enough, you can graduate as a fully-fledged member of the senior band.

If rhythm is more your thing, we have a thriving corp of drums, of which we are very proud. We are unique in the region for having such a drum section, and they are always an attraction at concerts, carnivals and other events.

Living in such a wonderful town enables us to take part in some fantastic local events. Every year, the band are an important part of the May Fair festivities. The twinning of Torrington with Roscoff, France, has made for some memorable trips to Brittany in the past and every other year we look forward to welcoming our French visitors, entertaining them at various twinning events.

We hope you enjoy browsing our site. Feel free to email us if you would like any further information.

Band looking forward to regional contest

Torrington are practising hard in preparation for the Regional Finals Contest, which will be held at the Riviera Centre, Torquay on 10th and 11th March 2007.

Terry Hutchings, conducting the band, says, "This event is one that we always look forward to. The band have been working really hard on the test piece and we hope for a good result this year."

Corp of Drums receive marching orders

The corp of drums has been practising for a busy season ahead. Led by Drum Major Sid Adams, the drummers have been testing out their pieces ahead of the 2007 season.

With the drummers in our midst, the band are hard to beat!
