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, local events, and go on an annual tour. We have been known to perform all over Europe, with Paris, Holland and Germany 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. We have produced many CD's, our latest being Pure Gold. 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.

Our Artistic Director, Lord Chris Jeans is a renowned trombonist and conductor in his own right and is currently Principal Trombone with the famous Virtuosi GUS Band. His past accolades include being Brass in Concert Solo Champion two years running and being Principal Trombone for many top bands, including the likes of Black Dyke and Yorkshire Building Society Band. Our Director of Music, Peter Collins, is an Ex-Principal Cornet of Youth Brass 2000 and currently is Principal Cornet of the Polysteel Band. He now conducts 1st Section Band, Foresters Brass 2000, and has played for many of the top bands, including Desford Colliery, and Yorkshire Building Society Band.
