The Princeton Youth Brass Band
Registration is now open for the Princeton Youth Brass Band’s 2023-2024 season!
The Princeton Youth Brass Band is the educational outreach ensemble of the Princeton Brass Band. PYBB is open to all high school brass and percussion players, 8th-12th grade. PYBB was created to offer an exciting musical opportunity for the devoted brass and percussion musician, while supporting and supplementing their high school music programs. Members of the PYBB have the opportunity to perform in concert, as well as work alongside members of the NABBA National Champion Princeton Brass Band. All this while playing exciting, challenging and varied music, including pop, rock, film, folk, spiritual and dynamic original brass band literature!
The PYBB is open to all high school brass and percussion players, 8th-12th grade. This is a musical setting for players of a variety of levels to grow. We have a great mix of more and less experienced players.
Membership is based on musical enthusiasm, a desire to improve both individual/ensemble playing techniques, and commitment. An audition is not required to play in the band. The registration form (which asks you to include your experience) is used for general seating purposes to balance the band. There are select seats in the band that do require an audition to earn those spots. These seats will be determined at a later date.
The PYBB will rehearse Monday evenings from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM at Franklin High School in Somerset, NJ. Rehearsals will begin November 20, 2023 with our Open House and conclude in June. Please refer to the Commitment Form for the exact list of dates for all rehearsals and performances.
The PYBB will perform three concerts this season including a performance with the Princeton Brass Band at the historic Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, NJ!
The tuition for the 2023-2024 Season is $350.00 per musician.
