Elland Silver Youth Band has received an invitation to perform at Music for Youth School Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

It is the first time that the multi-award winning band has been invited to perform at the event, which will take place on Tuesday 14th November.

Original works

The 2017 European Development Section Youth champion will feature a brace of original works — opening with 'Daybreak' by Jonathan Bates, which features plenty of eye-catching choreography and body percussion to go with the pulsating music. They will also perform 'Starburst' by Dan Price.
