    We cant wait to start making music, and memories.

    We are inching closer to the start of the 2025 National Youth Band of Tonga course. The band got together again last weekend for rehearsal under Rev. Eloni, and they had a wonderful time working on the music.

    We have felt so blessed to have so many donations, and offers of support, from financial contributions, to printing of music, posters, donations of valve oil and instruments - it's been amazing!

    Thankyou so much for all your generosity, and we cant wait to share with you photos from the course, and the concert (which we will be recording).

    Thanks again,

    The NYBBT Team

    Thanks so much for your donations, we really appreciate it.

    The band got together in Tonga over the weekend, and started looking at the music under the Assistant Music Director Rev. Eloni Tuakoi Niu. They had a great time working through the pieces and hearing how they go.

    Will send more updates as they happen, and also plenty of photos and videos from the course once it starts.

    Thanks again for your support,

    Regards

    David Bremner
