NYBBS Courses Cancelled

The Scottish Brass Band Association has announced that its National Youth Brass Band of Scotland (NYBBS) summer courses and concerts that were scheduled to take place at Strathallan School in Perthshire from 2nd to 8th August have been cancelled.

SBBA President, Carrie Boax stated, "Everyone at SBBA, as well as our key funding and venue providers, agree that the health and wellbeing of all members of our NYBBS family, from students to staff and conductors is our top priority and we do not want to risk this during these extraordinary times."

SBBA officers are working with key personnel and funders Creative Scotland to try to find a way to 'stay connected' during the prolonged period of musical isolation and they are hoping to announce an exciting project over the next few weeks which will involve as many NYBBS students as possible to provide a final concert performance on 8th in a virtual setting.
