This band provides training and opportunities for young people aged 7-19 to play in a brass band. They will use the award to purchase 7 alto trombones which they hope will lead to more young people under 12 taking up the instrument. They will train their existing tutors in playing and teaching methods for these mini trombones. The youngsters will be integrated into the band and it is hoped will progress to normal trombones at about 12 years of age.
