The Courtyard Theatre at Ballyearl hosted the annual Mossgrove Youth Music Festival from February 3rd to 10th 2007 where a number of the band’s junior members competed. No less than 7 players were placed in the contest, a wonderful result for the competitors, tutors and the future for both the junior and senior band.

Congratulations to all who took part and we look forward to reading much more about the future successes of the junior band and it’s members as they continue to develop their playing skills and become accomplished musicians.
