Young brass players in the USA can now register to be part of the Colorado Brass 'Youth Brass Weekend', which brings together High School and College students for learning, collaboration and performance.

It will be undertaken in conjunction with 'side-by-side' tuition and performance opportunities with Colorado Brass Band and takes place at Smokey Hill High School in Aurora, Colorado over the weekend of the 15th & 16th November.

The event is rounded off with a special concert to showcase the progress made.
