The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain's Alumni Reunion Band is set to return to the concert stage next month as they join Brett Baker's Alumni All Star Sextet to perform in free event. The players will be directed by Guest Conductor, and former NYBBGB euphonium, Captain Sam Hairsine, Director of Music HM Royal Marines at Stockport Citadel on Saturday 8th April (3.30pm-5.30pm). The Alumni groups will be followed later that evening by the current players of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain as they give their Easter course concert at Stoller Hall at 7.00pm.
Supported by Denis Wick Products Ltd, Brett's Alumni Allstar sextet will consist of the Black Dyke trombonist alongside Tom Smith (principal cornet, Brighouse & Rastrick), Keith Britcliffe (cornet, Black Dyke), Emily Evans (solo horn, Flowers), James McLeod (euphonium, Easington Colliery) and Gregor Spence (solo Eb bass, Flowers). Speaking about the event, Brett stated, "I'm delighted the group is able to support the National Youth Band bursary scheme to support our young players on future courses."
Formed in 2022 for the 70th anniversary of the organisation, the Alumni Reunion Band comprises former players who have enjoyed the benefits of playing with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain. Speaking about the event, Chair of the NYBBGB Alumni and Associates Committee, Richard Hillson explained, "Our mission is to build a group that proudly serves the alumni community.
