Age is no barrier, we welcome children and adults alike.
If you fancy "leading" your local town band at numerous events throughout the year come along and have a go!
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.
