The highly successful City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Band is continuing to set its sights firmly on the future with the news that they are to form their own youth band

Compliment

The band will compliment its existing Senior Band (M1) and Development Band (M2) and will hopefully be attracting young players under the age of 18 who are looking to play brass instruments, regardless of ability under the direction of the band’s MD, Gareth Ritter.

Promise

Band Chairman Dave Howard told 4BR: "There is no better way to improve playing ability and all-round musicianship than playing in an ensemble, and, with Gareth Ritter in charge, this promises to be one of the best."
