The Band, with members aged from 10 to 25 years, is playing Christmas Carols in order to raise awareness of a major European Tour in 2011 with the Marathon 'Play-a-thon' on Monday 20th December and Tuesday 21st December.

In 2011 the Victorian State Youth Brass Band will be travelling to Europe where they will be performing in many of Europe's best concert halls, parks and venues. The Band will visit Germany, Belgium, UK, France, and Austria whilst passing through many of the other neighbouring countries.
