It's that time again, folks. 2024 has been a whirlwind of a year for the BBE network; Youth Fest and Brass Band Week launched over the summer, Elevate debuted at the Blackpool Tower, both Youth Champs and the Brass Band Conference came to the South of England, and the team continued support in delivering the sold-out Brass in Concert Championships. All this alongside the busy programme of training and networking events for bands.
The team will be taking their usual break for the Christmas period, with the office closing at 4:45pm on Friday 20 December until 9am on Monday 6 January. If you're submitting an enquiry please try to do so before 4pm. Please also note that we will not have full staffing during our final week of term and may need extra time to get back to you on certain topics. All enquiries will be responded to as soon as possible upon reopening.
But the team won’t be on rest mode for long - come the new year BBE will be full steam ahead for their spring events schedule, beginning with BandSafe on Wednesday 8 January.
Should anyone have any questions prior to the Christmas break, they can email info@bbe.org.uk or call BBE on 01226 771015.
BBE wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
