SSBA
 

The Scottish Brass Band Association (SBBA) has set a short survey to assist its research into the number of brass band players currently studying in Scotland’s universities.

Youth Development

It will form part of its Youth Development Programme, with SBBA inviting university students to complete a short online survey which will help pinpoint potential development areas in the country’s universities.

Online:

The online survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5SP89CW and takes only a couple of minutes to complete.

Accurate

A spokesperson told 4BR: "To produce an accurate collection of data, SBBA encourages all brass and percussion playing students based at Scottish universities to complete the 10 simple questions as soon as possible."

They added: "SBBA looks forward to receiving the survey responses and being able to assess the future brass band potential within Scotland’s university sector."
