Interview with Dobcross Youth Training Band

  The players of Dobcross Youth Training had a great time at the 2019 National Youth Championships

4BR was at the 2019 National Youth Brass Band Championships at Warwick School, where we caught up with conductor Seth Livingstone and three players, Orran, Megan and Caspar to find out a bit more about the famous youth band which was formed just over 30 years ago.

Seth is a former player with the band and has returned to help the next generation of young players who come form local primary schools in the area.

There are now over 35 players receiving tuition — and they certainly had a great time playing the likes of 'Slaidburn' and 'Hall of the Mountain King' as they claimed a Silver Award in the Elementary Section.
