Youth
Brass 2000 is a youth band based in Wilbarston
Village, Northamptonshire.
We compete in many National and European competitions, and as you can see
from our list of achievements on the right we don't do too badly! However Youth Brass 2000 do more than just compete, we play in many
concerts, at local events, and go on an annual tour. We have been known to
perform all over Europe, with Paris, Holland, Germany,
Austria & Italy being just a few of our more recent venues.
We also do several social events throughout the year, ranging from
barbeques to visits to see famous bands in concert. In the
past we have taken the stage in the BBC studios and performed in front of
the cameras for Blue Peter, as well as appearing on stage at the Royal
Albert Hall. We have produced many CD's, our latest being Swing Swing
Swing (released December 2008). One, a Christmas CD, entitled, We Wish You A
Merry Christmas includes tracks recorded both by ourselves and senior
band, Foresters Brass 2000. The other CD, entitled Spots & Stripes
forever, includes many of the bands favourite items. Samples of both these
CDs can be found on the CD/Tapes page.
