Youth Champs 2026

Youth Champs 2026 – King Edward’s School, Birmingham | Saturday 28 March 2026

Firth Park Community Brass Band is gearing up for another performance at Youth Champs 2026, Brass Bands England’s national celebration of young brass talent.

The 2026 event will take place at King Edward's School in Birmingham (Edgbaston Park Rd, Birmingham B15 2UA) on Saturday 28 March.

Formed through a partnership between Beck Primary School, Firth Park Academy, and Sheffield Music Hub, the band made waves at the 2024 Youth Champs with a joyful, Sheffield-themed set. They were praised for their energy, musicality, and community spirit. 2025 saw them performing a Ska medley called Ska’d for life.

Led by Andy Harris, the band brings together young musicians from across Sheffield. Their return to Youth Champs reflects the strength of local music education and the power of collaboration. They are ready to represent Sheffield on the national stage once again!
