Tickets have now gone on sale for the National Youth Championships of Great Britain.

This year's event will take place at Hymers College, Hull, on Saturday 29th March and will see a record 40 bands and ensemble perform across three sections.

Sections

This includes the non-competitive Besson Prodige Showcase section, which this year welcomes a full roster of bands making their debuts.

The Championship Section will see 12 high-achieving youth bands, including defending champion Wardle Academy, whilst the Yamaha Performance Section is bursting with 21 bands ready to perform on a national stage.

It is envisaged that well over 1,200 youngsters will take part, with a dozen bands making a welcome first appearance.

Growing in popularity

Speaking about the contest, Jess Wilson, BBE Events Manager said: "I'm thrilled to see the Youth Champs growing in popularity. Last year we had two packed out performance spaces, full of supporters.

We also had some bands who were new to the contest who enjoyed it so much they've decided to make it an annual activity. I hope that all 40 bands have a fantastic time this year — and with such a full programme, I'd definitely recommend securing your tickets in advance."
