New Youth Band Sponsorships from TCTC Group

Following the successful sponsorship of TCTC Group Band, and continued commitment to supporting the local community, TCTC Group is now delighted to sponsor the Youth Wind Bands based in Sandbach, Cheshire. The Youth Wind Bands, which will now be known as TCTC Group Wind Bands, have been set up to give young brass, woodwind and percussion players the opportunity of playing together as an ensemble.

There are five bands in the organisation: The Starter Group for children who have just started playing and know just a few notes.
The Beginner Band, which accepts players with a knowledge of a few notes and teaches them basic skills to be able to play in concerts at various times in a year and The Junior Band, which aims to develop skills further so as to be part of a larger ensemble that takes part in Festivals, competitions and plays at Concerts and events throughout the year.

The Youth Band that performs joint concerts with brass bands, choirs and takes part in many events. It also competes against bands in national competitions and at Music Festivals.

The Community Band, is a relatively new group that provides adults with a musical platform where age is not restricted.

We are extremely proud to add the group to our community sponsorship portfolio”
