The Foden's Youth Band is open to members aged 21 or under who have reached a minimum standard of Grade 5 on brass or percussion instruments. The band meets once per month in Sandbach, Cheshire on a Sunday morning (9.45am-1.15pm) with concert performances on a number of occasions throughout the year.

Support

The rehearsals are designed to stretch the young players, offering them access to experienced high profiles tutors, exciting new repertoire and high quality direction."

Foden's also run a Junior Band (as a feeder to the Youth Band) for players between Grade 2 and 5. The Junior Band rehearse as per the Youth Band in Lymm.'
