Castletown Metropolitan Silver Band

The Castletown Metropolitan Silver Band has been in existence since 1896, and in fact actually existed prior to this under a different name. There is much historical information available, which can be obtained from the Secretary. Two amusing booklets, outlining the early days of the band, have been produced by the late Dennis Spooner and can also be obtained from the Secretary at £6 per set, inclusive of postage.

NEW MEMBERS

New members are always welcome. In the first instance an approach should be made to the Secretary or Musical Director. Instruments are available for new members.

BEGINNERS

The band has a Junior Band consisting of new players and players not quite ready to join the full band. This meets on a Wednesday evening, 6pm, at the bandroom under the leadership of Bob Astill, our deputy conductor. New members, young and old, are always welcome.

Instruments are provided.

VISITORS

Players from visiting bands are most welcome.

Prize Winners

Every year the band presents awards to players, friends and supporters for their efforts during the year. These are voted on by all the playing members of the band. For a list of previous winners, click here.
