Stafford Brigades Youth Band

We would like to wish our members, and any of our extended band family who are receiving their GCSE results today all the best!

We are so proud of you all, so remember, whatever happens, anything is possible and that you can achieve great things!

We have warmed up in a wide variety of places before… however, in a library is a new one for us and definitely the most unusual!

Another fantastic message from a parent today. Although not directly musical related, it’s definitely something to share!

One of members today received her Silver Blue Peter Badge for her efforts raising money for Comic Relief. She took this upon herself to organise and raise funds for such an important cause.

They felt she deserved their Silver Blue Peter Badge for her efforts and demonstrating acts of kindness, community work, volunteering and fundraising.

We love hearing about all the different and positive things our members are involved in, within band and in their own lives.

Fantastic work!

Our fundraising and information stalls are almost up and running at Westbridge Park part of Stone Carnival!

We are also taking part of the carnival parade through Stone Town Centre!

There’s lots going on throughout today and tomorrow, so come down and enjoy the fun!

While we waited to form up this afternoon for the Mayor Making Parade through Stafford, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to take a nice mugshot!

We are at Trentham Gardens Community supporting their fundraising event for Dougie Mac Hospice!

Although the weathers not the best, it’s already been a fantastic morning, with lots going on!

If you want to get out and looking for something to do, it’s open until 4pm in the main gardens, £5 a ticket, with part of the tickets going directly to Dougie Mac!

We are out today with our info stand in Stafford part of Staffordshire Day in the town centre!

Perfect opportunity to pop down and speak to us about the band, what we get up to and how to get involved! We have some of our senior band members around too to help answer any questions.

We also have a jigsaw stall, to help raise funds for the band… so if you’re a keen puzzler, then come and see if any take your fancy… only £2 each!

The sun was out and it was a tad warm, but it was fantastic to be back out leading the St George’s Day Parade today in Stafford with Stafford District Scouts.

A while since we had this many out and marching in ranks of 4, but they all did amazing. For some of our members it was their very first parade with us, and for others it was their first on a new instrument.

Such a great afternoon.
