Elland Youth Band has come up with their own innovative way of celebrating their 25th anniversary.

Owing to COVID- 19 the band was unable to host their planned concert event later this month, so that has now been postponed until June 2021.

Stay at Home

To make sure they are still able to celebrate though they have recorded a special 'Stay at Home' concert to be shared through YouTube and social media which will be broadcast on Saturday 27 June (7.30pm).

Current and former youth band members are being invited to record a brand new arrangement from former alumni Jonathan Bates to mark the occasion.

We're disappointed not be able to go ahead with our planned celebration concert, but with a little creativity and technology we can mark the occasion on-line eventElland Youth Band

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "We're disappointed not be able to go ahead with our planned celebration concert, but with a little creativity and technology we can mark the occasion on-line event, featuring performances from all our young musicians pre-recorded from home.

There will also be a fun camera roll of all our best moments."
