Aberystwyth Silver Band has taken a step forward into the world of social networking by joining Facebook
 
The Band's Publicity Officer (Matthew Ruel) and Student Representative (Graham Brand) are confident that the move will encourage members of the band to give their opinions on how they would like to see the Band develop and progress in the future as well as providing a platform for past and present members to keep in contact and finding out what they have been up to in the brass band movement.
 
 
Facebook is a fantastic way for people to interact and connect with each other, especially if they have shared interests, so it seemed logical that the Band should try and become a part of it.

To see or join the Seindorf Arian Aberystwyth Silver Band Facebook group you need to create a Facebook account.

Cambrian News Article, Orchestral manoeuvres in the park
 
"The Aberystwyth Silver Band is back in tune after a major refurbishment of its hall on the newly-developed Ystwyth Retail Park.  The band had vacated its rehearsal hall premises whilst property developers Liberty Mercian took on the retail park re-design and associated works.  And although rumours persisted that the band had been evicted permanently, Silver Band officials had confirmed that their return to the long-standing band hall would  take place after completion of the work ... Liberty Mercian also gave the historic hall an upgrade, including the addition of a new porch, new windows, and landscaping outside the hall ... [The band was delighted to be] invited to play at the official opening of the Ystwyth Retail Park.  [It was] particularly fitting that [the band] had the opportunity to say 'thank you' to Liberty Mercian for the work that they did in improving [the] band hall ...
 
Seindorf Arian Aberystwyth Silver Band [is also pleased to announce it has launched] a new website reflecting a new era in the band's [long] history, under its new musical director, Geraint Evans."
