British Youth Band Association
Youth Music In Action
The 2023 Individuals and Ensembles (I&E) competiton, scheduled for Sunday 19th November, is unfortunately being postponed until the new year. We are currently exploring dates around the end of January and will confirm a new date in due course.
BYBA's Individuals and Ensembles (I&E) competition is your chance to stand up and show the rest of the banding world what you're capable of. We have categories to accommodate everyone. Play flute? No problem! The woodwind category’s for you. Want to show off your moves with a rifle? Of course! Individual colourguard is your category. Oh, you have a beatboxing grime collective? We have no idea what that is – but no worries at all! There’s the entertainment category for you.
Only a few more days until the British Youth Band Association National Championships take place on 6th October at Butts Park Arena, Coventry.
Happy New Year to you all. I hope you have all had a great Christmas and feel refreshed and ready to go with the marching band year ahead!
We are pleased to offer BYBA member bands a free training day at the Corps of Army Music’s historic headquarters Kneller Hall.
