In the charity's own words
BIYB provides young people an opportunity be part of a marching and concert band. From representing the UK in international tattoos along side professional bands, to leading the local town Remembrance Parade. With band members only paying a nominal fee and with all 'employees' being unpaid volunteers this is an amazing charity that requires and deserves support.
