FREE Youth Band Day
Grimethorpe Colliery Band are offering the chance for young Brass and Percussion players of almost all levels and experience to take part in a FREE Workshop with members of the band on (DATE TBC) at Barnsley Civic.
- The course is FREE, and open to all Brass and Percussion players up to 18 years of age

- The day starts at 9.30am at Barnsley Civic (Hanson Street, Barnsley S70 2HZ)
- There is a concert featuring both bands at 3.30pm – everyone is welcome
- The course will finish around 4pm
Our teaching team are all experienced and DBS checked, and will run a course where the young players will be rehearsed on a selection of fun and challenging music in equal measure. The tutors will also sit in the band and conduct at the concert so it should prove to be a brilliant and rewarding experience.
The pupils will need to bring their own instruments, a pencil and some lunch with them. There is a registered First Aider who will be present at the course, and there is a tuck shop if the delegates wanted to bring a small amount of money to spend in the breaks. All percussion and stands will be provided by our friends at the Barnsley Music Service.
The band are committed to providing high quality musical experiences at no cost, and the course is open to any Brass or Percussion player or around Grade 1 standard and above, up to 18 years of age, and from anywhere in the country.
