Southern Counties Youth Band

About SYCB

scaba funds the Southern Counties Youth Band to give young brass banders aged 11-18 a unique opportunity to improve their playing ability whilst having fun making music in a band of players their own age from all over the South East.200

Rehearsals are held on Sundays, giving players the opportunity to play a wide range of music under the direction of our excellent team of conductors and tutors, all volunteers from local bands.

We meet near the centre of the area close to Crawley and the A23 which is easy for everyone to get to.

New players are always welcome at SCYB! If you're interested in joining the band, or just coming along for a taster, please contact Alex Sears: scabasecretary@gmail.com

The membership information pack and application form can be downloaded HERE.
