We're building a band of young musicians from across the New Forest — and we want you in it.

Whether you play violin or produce beats, sing in the shower or compose in your bedroom, this is your chance to make something genuinely brilliant with people you've never played with before.

What's the vibe? Serious about music. Not serious about itself.

You'll work with professional conductor Phil Daish-Handy — composing, rehearsing, and then performing to a packed St Thomas' Church in Autumn. The music can go anywhere: orchestral textures, electronic sounds, improvisation, your own compositions. We're not prescribing the genre. You are.

This is for you if you're...

• Aged 11–18 and based in the New Forest

• Playing any instrument, singing, composing, or producing

• Ready to commit, collaborate, and have a lot of fun doing it

100% free. 100% real experience. Looks great on a UCAS application. Feels even better on stage.
