Junior Timbrels

The Boscombe Junior Timbrel Brigade are the Young Peoples tambourine group, if you thought that you'd never like the tambourine before hand, this group will change your mind with their marvelous routines and displays.

This is the Y.P. Band, it is a valuable part of our church family at Boscombe and is lead by Bandleader Malcolm Randall assisted by a team of able helpers constantly tutoring new young people to play instruments.

In 1993, the Y.P. Band undertook a tour of Romania and was the first Salvation Army section to visit that country after the fall of communism.

2008 is the centenary of Boscombe Y.P. Band, the first commissioned Y.P Band in the United Kingdom Territory.
