National Children's Wind Orchestra of Great Britain

[1] The boys and girls in the group used to rehearse as The National Children's Wind Orchestra for just one residential course a year held in the East School Holidays.

This was led by their conductor Phillip Scott who developed the band and drove the standard and popularity of the course up.

He still holds the position of Conductor at the present day, but he now conducts the National Youth Wind Ensemble.

The National Youth Concert Band has a grade 7 requirement to apply for audition.

Throughout the history of the band they have performed world premieres of pieces such as Thames Journey and Global Variations.
