The Middleton Youth Band is a very important part of the music making community in Middleton and is a valuable asset to the "senior" band. Even though the two bands are administratively separate, they are very closely linked with the "senior" band supporting the Youth band in many ways. The young people of the youth band benefit from the experience of several members of the senior band, regularly seeing David, Louise, Kevin, John, Emma, Jamie and Sam in rehearsals and many others at concerts.
The musical director of the Youth Band is Mr David Wall, who has spent many hours with these young people at rehearsals. David joined the Middleton Youth Band as a youngster playing Flugel Horn before progressing into the senior Middleton band. David now leads the youth band in regular concerts, charity events and weekend trips including the Severn Valley Railway and East Lancashire Railway 1940's events.
With the help and support of several Middleton Band players, the youth band has grown steadily and has even toured to Euro Disney Paris twice!
