More bands from around the borough are asked to come into the next meeting and register an interest; this will take place in Harryville Partnership Offices, Larne Street on Thursday, April 15 at 8.00pm sharp.

Many benefits are there for the bands from the Ballymena area and further a field. A direct line of contact is made from the local forum to the Confederation of Ulster Bands (CUB) who in turn take the voice of all of Ulster’s marching bands to government level and media alike.

Specific to bands, help with funding applications can be offered along with the knowledge of the other member bands experiences.

Promotion of the local band scene and all the positives attached to it will have a knock on effect to all the local bands and each will be able to benefit from and advice on the directions taken.
