Besses Boys Brass Band

Besses Boys Band set up a training band when the main band were short on numbers and they have thrived ever

since. The band forms a massive part of the Besses boys organisation, it is here that the musical director and

helpers from the main band help to train the talent of the future. We offer instruments, tuition, and full band

rehearsals to anyone who wants to learn. The training band provides the future for the main band and so is an

essential part of the main band. For details of how to join the training band please view our contacts page.

Thank you

The training band recently received a dontaion from the Greater Manchester Police property Fund. This has enabled us to provide new instruments for the beginners and training band and invite people from our waiting list to and learn a brass instrument.

If anyone out there has a burning desire to join our training band and have the chance to learn a brass or percussion instrument please view our contacts page.

The training band is conducted by Jon Taylor. Jon is principal percussionist with the main band and before that played both Horn and Cornet. Jon is currently preparing for his A level exams after which he hope to attend music college to study composition.

Jon's concert debut is expected very very soon and preparations are well under way and Jon and the players get to know each other

Pictures coming soon.......

Jon is using the experience to help with his studies and hopes to be able to help the training band progress quickly to give the players of the band the correct preparation for an eventual step up to the main band.

Anyone wishing to join in the experience of learning brass instruments can get further details by viewing our contacts page
