M3 is the organisations youth band and welcomes youth players from across South East Wales. They rehearse on a Sunday from 17:30 - 19:00 during term time. The band has won countless gold awards in competitions and is proud to have such a talented and dedicated membership.
The band every year has to say goodbye to members as they move on in their lives away from Cardiff.
Many have progressed onto music college or into musical careers with past players now teaching music or members of military bands. Other choose to continue their playing as a hobby in others bands in the organisation, the region or university.
However, the band is also able to welcome new players each year as they move up from M4 to continue to gain confidence and skills.
