National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain
We are extremely proud to announce that current and former Wardle Academy Youth Band members have been hand selected to perform in the prestigious National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain!
This is an outstanding achievement and we wish Mollie, Ben, Emma and Adam all the very best on this exciting adventure.
The Youth Band is for young people aged 12 and above who play at a Grade 8 standard or above. The Youth Band plays some demanding brass band music designed to challenge and develop the musical skills of our members. The Youth Band meets twice per year for residential courses, at Easter and in the summer. Every year the Youth Band commissions new pieces which are studied and performed during our courses.
Members benefit from tuition by our world-leading instrumental tutors and perform alongside outstanding soloists. The band is conducted by high-calibre conductors from brass band and orchestral backgrounds. We also employ an exceptional team of pastoral care staff who provide support to our young members throughout the courses.
