Great Western Youth Band aims to encourage young brass musicians from Swindon and the surrounding area to pick up an instrument and learn. The Rising Stars band is the first step on the children's musical journey, where they will be instructed by the tutors from the organisation on how to play, often playing alongside the children so they can hear how the music should sound like! When they have reached the right standard they can move up to the youth band. The youth band plays more complex music, and in 2019 also competed in the fourth section of the West of England Regional Contest in Torquay. They came 10th out of 17, which is particularly impressive when 95% of the band were youngsters, and they were competing against adults bands.
