Brighouse & Rastrick has confirmed that they will be holding an open day at their West Riding headquarters later this month to welcome players who wish to be part of their brand new youth band set up.

Potential

Brighouse & Rastrick Band President, Paul Beaumont told 4BR: "The youth band has the support of everyone associated with B&R and potential players shouldn’t miss out on a great opportunity to be part of something unique and very special right from the start.

As well as players, we welcome parents to get involved with the day to day organisational side of running the youth band and potentially the senior band as well."

Welcome

The Brighouse & Rastrick Youth Band will welcome any player aged 18 or below that that can play to an acceptable level.

The open day is planned at the bandroom on Saturday 27th April between 10.30am and 3.00pm at which any interested player is requested to come along to see the facilities the band has to offer.
