Core Values

When MYBB was founded in 2005 the Trustees had a set of core values upon which they hoped to build a successful organisation. Despite much change and growth, our founding principles are still the same:
- Providing low cost access to participation in music for all
- Encouraging a diverse and inclusive range of players
- Developing the skills of players in every way we can
- Supporting all players in every way we can
- Building the confidence of players
- Treating players with respect
- Being volunteer led and run
- Contributing to local life as a community band
- Furthering the brass band tradition in a way that appeals to young people of today
- Maintaining our independence as an organisation
- Expecting high standards from all
- Working to achieve the best standards of musicianship
- Encouraging team work
- Being innovative in our approach
