Something to think about ...
The importance of music in every child and young adult's life is unparalleled.  Music provides opportunities for self-expression, creativity and achievement.  By learning an instrument or learning to sing and participating in musical ensembles, is not only fun, but important life skills are developed in problem solving, teamwork, goal-setting, self-confidence and self-esteem.

The Brent Youth Concert Band can help you make that difference and make new friends along the way!
