Youthful reflections

Chris Jeans and his Youth Brass 2000 have enjoyed a year to remember in 2008.

 

Tuesday, 30 December 2008

        

Youth Brass 2000 and their MD, Chris Jeans, are looking forward to 2009, and are hoping to repeat the success of the past twelve months in the process.

Success

Under the baton of their Artistic MD and Resident MD Peter Collins they enjoyed success at the National Youth Entertainment Championships, gained a Gold Award at the National Youth Championships, picked up an 'Outstanding Award' at the National Festival of Music For Youth with an invite to perform in the Royal Albert Hall School Proms, as well as producing a fine winning performance at the Tameside Youth Contest.
