| The villages of Carharrack and
St. Day lie six miles southwest of Truro. There has been a brass
band connected with these two villages since 1912. |
| Initially brass players were
predominately male, however, over the years this has changed
and today Carharrack & St. Day Silver Band has 12 female
players and 8 bandsmen. Practice takes place on Wednesday and
Friday evenings under the direction of Roy Trelease, the 17th
musical director of the band. |

| The villages lie at the heart
of what was once a thriving mining industry, with some of the
first practices taking place in the outbuildings of Ting Tang
Mine. To this day remnants of this industry can still be seen
in the abundance of mine buildings in the area. |
| The music that Carharrack
& St. Day Silver Band play demonstrates the fun and light
heartiness of this youthful group of musicians. |
