Two Learning Roadshows had been planned for the east and west of Scotland during June and September with the intention of reaching out to brass band musicians with useful workshop and information sessions as a means of celebrating SBBA's 125th anniversary year.

Now, because of COVID-19, the two events are being combined into a single, online experience which will be beamed into people's homes on 20th September.
