Become a Band Friend

As you would imagine from its wide range of activities, the Band has aroused much interest - both in Wantage and elsewhere. In response we formed ‘The Friends of Wantage Silver Band’ which anyone may join. Friends may visit band rehearsals and will receive the band newsletter. In addition they may purchase band concert tickets at concessionary rates.

The aim is to encourage enjoyment of brass band music and participation in the life of the band. Ideas for fund raising events, publicity and social functions are welcome. This is especially needed at the moment as we are fundraising to build a new bandhall. Due to the huge amount we need to raise we have set the minimum subscription at £15 but hope that those who can will contribute more!

If you would like to join the Friends of the Wantage Silver Band please fill in the application form, enclose your subscription and send to:
