Welcome to the website of Torrington Silver Band
Christmas Carols Evening.
Thank you to all who came along for this great evening of carols and a few other peices of music.
I'm sure a similar evening will be arranged again for next year. The band and audience would like to thank Bill and Daphne Metherill for arranging this festive treat.
The band was also presented with a cheque from Sophie Parsons who has raised £155.59 for the band.

Christmas Concert.
Thanks to everyone who came along to our Christmas Concert, the band enjoyed playing to a completely full house and were pleased to see so many people enjoying themselves and supporting the band at the same time.
As well as the main bands' concert the audience were also treated to some pieces played by the newer band members and a couple of old members who have changed instruments.
October Concert.
Thanks to all who attended our mid-week concert on October 19th.
Those that attended were treated to a wide range of music to suit all tastes, although the band didn't play to a full house the nice comments at the end from guests made the concert worth while.
Mant thanks to all of you who purchased draw tickets, this helped us raise £147.20 on the night.
A little about 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.
We still have a few copies of our CD - In The Mood for sale. If you are interested they are available from Nick Megson, priced £5. please email Nick Megson.
