St. Ronan’s Silver Band is the most active arts organisation in the town of Innerleithen, providing music for numerous events as well as tuition for local youngsters. We have entertained thousands of people in our 214-year history… let us entertain you!
St. Ronan’s is one of the Borders most successful contesting bands with Scottish Championship titles in the Fourth, Third and Second Sections of banding.
The Band promotes a popular concert series every year and plays a leading role in St. Ronan’s Border Games Week. The Band also participates in many other summer festivals and events within the district and beyond, including the prestigious Edinburgh Riding of the Marches.
The St. Ronan’s Family of Bands incorporates a training band (beginners), St. Ronan’s Future Band (our youth band) as well as the senior band, involving over sixty musicians in total. Our current aims are to:
- Be a learning organisation that puts youth and player development at the heart of our work.
- Be a happy, purposeful band where players feel welcomed and encouraged.
- Play regularly in our community and beyond at a variety of events always giving the best performance possible
