At the end of August, secretary Rhiannon Harrison saw the call-out from Neighbourly to tell them about a great cause to be featured in a Christmas advert, and got in touch to let them know all about the wonderful Kearsley Youth Brass Band. Shortly afterwards, a whirlwind commenced as ET Casting got in touch – they wanted to have Kearsley Youth Brass Band represented in the advert, but there was still no indication as to who exactly this advert was for…

The 19th of July 2022 wasn't just the hottest day in UK history (so far), but it was also the day we decided to hold our end of year celebration concert! Whilst we can debate the wisdom of holding it on such a warm evening, there is no arguing with the fact that it was a fabulous evening, and a fitting way to end such a fantastic year. Our training band kicked off the evening with a plethora of soloists, performing to a simply packed church! Huge congratulations go to Annie, Ember, Mabel, Kensi, Tilly, Lily, Kaleigh, Amelia, Summer, Charlotte, Emily, and Darcy for their wonderful solos!

What an end to the year!
