Forty attendees at this week’s NYBBS Easter course

Just over 40 young brass instrumentalists and percussionists will be descending on Strathallan School in Perthshire tomorrow to take part in the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland’s (NYBBS) three-day Easter residential course.

Musical directors Ian Porthouse, John Boax and Alan Fernie will be in attendance to rehearse the players from the NYBBS Reserve and Senior bands for their end-of-course concert in the school theatre on Friday at 6pm.

During the week the three MDs will be holding group practice sessions, sectional workshops and individual tuition with the aim of perfecting the young musicians’ performance skills in readiness for the concert finale.
