Following the continued success of the sponsorship link of the Championship Section TCTC Group Band, the leading contract research company based in the North West will now support Youth Wind Bands based in Cheshire.

The TCTC Group Wind Bands will give young brass, woodwind and percussion players the opportunity of playing together as an ensemble at five different musical levels, including a Starter Group; Beginner Band; Junior Band; Youth Band and Community Band.

Community support

The progressive approach offers ideal ensembles for children who have just started playing and know just a few notes, all the way to adults with a musical platform where age is not restricted.

Kerri Leeming, founder of TCTC told 4BR: "TCTC have always supported community groups which involve our employees and their families. The TCTC Group Wind Bands offer children the opportunity to develop musical skills which they may not otherwise be able to access.

We are extremely proud to add the group to our community sponsorship portfolio and thanks to this new arrangement the bands have a secure and positive future. We look forward to many years of high-quality and entertaining music-making to come."
