Our Values

The foundation that makes us second to none (Nulli Secundus).

Musical Training

We aim to encourage and train young musicians to develop both mentally and physically for the demands of musical performance. We teach them to play music and march.

Iconic Moments

Members of our band also learn essential life skills that can help them out in later life. We give young people the confidence to succeed in anything they want.

Music for all

We are proud to take an open door approach and therefore welcome young people of any ability. No experience needed, no instrument required. Only the desire to learn.

Having Fun

We believe having fun is at the very heart of what we do. We bring joy to young people and provide them with a real sense of achievement and fulfilment.

This is a fantastic organisation and does amazing work with kids. Provides a safe environment for them to learn not only music but life and social skills. They also get to experience public performances some of which are at amazing venues. Check out the website and get involved!

Quite simply a brilliant youth band. My three children could not play an instrument or read a note of music before they joined. Over the years they have been lucky enough to visit and play in many foreign countries.

An amazing organisation. Open door for all. My daughter was a complete novice on the trumpet and she has learned so much in the 6 months she has been there so far. She loves attending the band and looks forward to many opportunities to travel and play with them.

Fantastic band. Friendly and inclusive environment for young people to learn a musical instrument. The volunteers are dedicated, caring and talented. The rapport and support given to each other by the young people involved is heart warming.
