Description

Frampton on Severn Silver Band was established in 1977, making it one of the youngest bands in the county.

The senior band currently has 18 regular playing members. We also run successful Training and Starter Bands.

The groups all rehearse on Tuesday evenings at The Cadbury Hall, Frampton on Severn.

We play a variety of music from traditional marches and arrangements of classics, through to music from film, television and shows as well as popular modern music.

Our regular engagements through the year include traditional village fetes, garden parties, country shows and formal concerts as well as carol playing and festive Christmas concerts.

We have also been known to play at weddings, funerals, birthday parties and a variety of other events.

We are always delighted to welcome new players of whatever standard so, if you like the sound of what we do, why not come to one of our rehearsals?

Description

The Bandstand is situated off Wye Street, in the Caroline Symonds Gardens. The Mayor of Ross in 1987, Cllr David Fishpool, a keen musician and member of the Ross Town Band, had the original idea of providing a bandstand for the town and made it his Mayor's project. However, although he was able to raise funds for the project, it never got any further until the Ross Lions took the project on some 15 years later. The Bandstand, or Outdoor Pursuits Building, as it was officially named, was finally opened in 2005 and handed over by the Ross Lions to the Town Council.

The Town Council arranges a series of free Sunday afternoon band concerts during the summer between 2.30pm and 4.30pm with a collection by a local charity.

Other events are organised by different groups during the year. The space can be used for various kinds of concerts and displays, as a starting and finishing point for organised walks, for outdoor theatre or charity exhibitions and stalls. If your group would like to hold an event there, please read the letting conditions and return a complete a booking form to the Town Clerk.
