Following the recent launch of their Scottish university student survey, the Scottish Brass Band Association (SBBA) has announced the second phase of their research, with the release of a further survey designed for students attending further education colleges.

Surveys

Both surveys will assist SBBA’s research into the numbers of players currently studying at Scotland’s higher education establishments in the hope of encouraging further brass band participation and development.

Encourage

A spokesperson told 4BR: "To produce an accurate collection of data, SBBA encourages all brass and percussion playing students based at Scottish further education establishments to complete the simple questions in the relevant surveys as soon as possible.

SBBA looks forward to receiving the survey responses and being able to assess the future brass band potential for Scotland’s further education students."
