Werneth Youth Concert Band

Our youth band is open to any musicians under the age of 18, grade 2/3 standard and above.

Please download our poster for further info and to give out to others.

The Youth Band was formed in autumn 2010 as a part of Werneth Concert Band. It aims to get young people involved in making music as part of a group. The conductor is Alan Cottrill and the administrator Jane Cottrill. Both hold full CRB checks from Stockport MBC. Alan has twenty-seven years experience working for Manchester Music Service organizing, teaching, taking bands and ensembles. He now teaches brass at Bredbury Green Primary School. Jane is a Primary School teacher and teaches both woodwind and brass. Both are long term members of Werneth Concert Band.

The band meets every Friday during term time at the Overdale Centre / Bredbury Green and Goyt Valley Children’s Centre, Powicke Drive, Romiley SK6 3EF, from 6.30 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. Click here for a map and here for rehearsal dates.

Be a part of it!

So here is your chance to join a thriving organisation on your doorstep and make music part of your life. Rather than just practise on your own be part of a big sound! Just turn up with your instrument; music is provided. Parents are welcome to stay. There is a break of about 15 minutes and a tuck shop is available.
