There's a few more i's to dot and t's to cross before we can share all our plans, but keep checking back here soon for some VERY exciting announcements! And, hey - in the meantime, why not spend the evening with World of Brass and all the action from last year?

And just like that, the performances of this year’s Youth Brass in Concert have come to an end. As the adjudicators make their decisions, let’s look back on our second half:

🎶 From the early days to the future, defending champion Wardle Academy explored the evolution of technology and its place in our lives in their aptly named ‘Tech Takeover’ set

🚂 Houghton Area Youth Band celebrated the 200th anniversary of the railway, including in their set the hymn “Thine Be the Glory’, which was traditionally played by a brass band when a new railway station was opened

🥁 Youth Brass 2000 closed out the show with Big Band energy, bringing Glenn Miller and jazz to The Glasshouse

See you back here soon with the results! 🏆

It seems like it's only just begun, but actually the first half of Youth Brass in Concert has finished - let’s take a look back at what the brass stars of the future have played so far:

💃 We started our day with Lancashire Youth Brass Band, who brought the party to Youth Brass in Concert with ‘Just Dance’ - we now only ever want to hear Cascada via brass arrangements

🔕 In a not-so-distant future when the world has fallen silent and music is banned, Elland Silver Youth Band unburied the sound of brass and began ‘The Awakening’

🏺 Lions Youth Brass brought myth and legend to the Sage One stage with a ‘Hercules’ set full of heart, soul and a little gospel flair

💭 Memory and movement were at the core of Shepherd Brass Band (Youth) set, with a programme that spanned dance, gaming, meditation and more
