The Swedish Youth Brass Band, SYBB, was formed in 2006, and is organized by the Band Federation within the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, SMM. SYBB, consisting of about 30 musicians from all over Sweden, gathers three or four times a year for rehearsals and concerts. Musical Director of SYBB is Mrs. Berit Palmquist. In 2007 the Band made its first trip abroad, taking part in Grenland Brass Festival, Norway. The year after the band recorded a CD, featuring Steve Sykes, tuba, Stephen Sykes Jr, trombone, and Carlton Sykes, tuba, as soloists. In 2009 SYBB was invited as guests to perform at the gala concert of Northern Ireland Brass Band League Spring Festival in Strabane, Northern Ireland.
