We are a band of brass players under the age of 19. There is no lower age limit, and we have had members who are 8 years' old previously. Our alumni have highly varied careers...

and youth bands to perform to appreciative audiences.

The standard of playing across all the sections was outstanding and there was a real festival feel to the event.

And the party continued late into the night with the @louisdowdeswell Big Band serving up a treat to players
