Wincanton Silver Band is Looking To The Future

Wincanton Silver Band is looking forward to another year of concerts, competitions and performing throughout the area. At the recent AGM the band emphasised the importance of investing in the Youth Band, which now boosts over 20 youngsters. This ensures the band's future, which in 2015 will celebrate 125 years since the band's formation in 1890.

The band took part in The West of England Championships on Saturday 9th March at Torquay's Riviera Centre. The band performed "Devon Fantasy" by Eric Ball, the chosen test piece played by all 21 bands in the section, and gained a creditable 14th position. Three of the band's juniors were part of the band line up, making their contest debut.

The band's next concert will be on Sunday 19th May at Wincanton Memorial Hall at 3.00pm, featuring music for all tastes. This concert is being supported by Parkinsons UK and proceeds will be shared between the band and Parkinsons UK.

Tickets will be available from band members and Elaine Rodgers (01963 33914) at £6.00. Please come along and support us.

If anyone is interested in joining the band or coming along and learning an instrument, or booking the band for an event please contact the Band Secretary Miriam Adey (01963 33072).
