The Cornwall Youth Brass Band will be holding auditions and an open rehearsal for new musicians from on Sunday 1st April (1.30pm to 4.00pm) during their forthcoming Easter Residential Course.

It is hoped that a new generation of young players will come along to join the band for their next season in September. They will be able to find out more about the band by meeting up with local conductor Darren Hawken and some of the experienced tutors.
