Marching Band UK
 

Marching Band Activity United Kingdom (MBAUK) has launched a new on-line presence for anyone who loves music and marching.

It offers the opportunity to share positive stories and to share information about themselves, their past, or indeed about things they are aware of coming up in the world of music and marching throughout the United Kingdom.

Autism Plus

Founded in 2013, MBAUK now has 10,000 on-line followers and has undertaken a very special link with the charity Autism Plus to help promote Mayfield belllyres, helping to connect music making to people with autism.

As part of the promotion MBAUK runs, amongst many other campaigns, marching band awareness and weekly recruitment campaigns for all groups, and uses its increasing reach to share that information with the wider audience.
