A spokesperson told 4BR: "They will be asked to fulfil a range of duties such as acting as event runners, stage crew and stewards.

The volunteering programme offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the running of complex, large-scale activities, as well as meet and network with banders from across the UK and Europe."

Initial volunteer positions are available to support the 2022 National Youth Championship in Corby (25th/26th March) and the European Brass Band Festival in Birmingham (29th Apr — 1st May).

Training

Marketing & Communications



BBE's also has a paid vacancy for a new Marketing & Communications Assistant role, which will support the organisation's communications to its membership and with the wider banding community.

Brass Band Archive

BBE also continues to welcome those interested in the Brass Band Archive to come and explore the collection whilst preparing for its reopening in 2023.
