"Campbeltown Brass relies almost entirely on youngsters from the local schools for its membership, since the majority of players leave the town to attend further education or to gain employment.

The average age of its members is 16 years. Being a very young band and having such an onerous journey to make every time it attends contests - just to get to Glasgow is a 150 mile trip - the successes it has enjoyed in its 25 year history are highly commendable."
