New music all the way
YBS are currently making their preparations for the forthcoming British Open in September.
Following new works at both the International Masters and English Nationals, the British Open will see the band undertake the third new set work of 2008.
Morgan Griffiths added: "It has been a fabulous year so far for new test pieces and Edward Gregson’s 'Roccoco Variations' is another fantastic new work that will certainly challenge all the bands at the British Open and I’m sure the audience will enjoy listening to it immensely."
