It was formed in 1983 by a few like-minded friends who felt there was a need for an organisation to cater specifically for youth bands, which project a traditional British image and adopt a British military style of drill.
Objectives
Organizational structure
TYMBA is run by its own members, who together, decide what they want from the association. A national committee is elected annually to manage the affairs of TYMBA. Our regional structure allows bands in each geographical region, South, Midlands and North, to meet regularly and feedback ideas and comments to the national committee through the regional meetings. The current chairman is Carl Nelson.
Bands classes
Currently TYMBA membership stands at 18 bands, divided into three competition classes, as of 2014.
