Macclesfield Youth Brass Band is hosting a Drum Corps Workshop with the help of Cheshire Police Band Drum Corps this weekend (Sunday 5th February) at Morton Hall on Union Road in Macclesfield.

Budding drummers

The event is open to budding young drummers aged from 7 years upwards and will hopefully provide a launch pad for the band to create its own drum corp in the future.

Develop skills

Louise Renshaw, Chair of the band's trustees told 4BR: "We have a raft of young percussionists progressing through the ranks of our three bands, and this is a way to develop their skills and give them a new challenge."

She added: "If it takes off I hope that we will have a drum corp which could support the youth band when they perform at community events and parades. My thanks to the Cheshire Police Drum Corps for giving their time to come and show us how it’s done."
