Welcome to the Boys' Brigade Northern Ireland |
|
 The Boys' Brigade is a worldwide, Christian, youth organisation for children and young people aged 4 to 18 years.
In Northern Ireland, The Boys' Brigade, sometimes referred to as the BB or BBNI, is the largest uniformed youth organisation. We have 300 BB Companies meeting weekly, usually weeknights, from September to April / May. The Boys' Brigade companies are run in local churches and missions throughout Northern Ireland by officially trained local volunteers from the church or mission. |

 Whilst the number of entries was lower than in previous years for the Northern Ireland Junior Section Musician of the Year, the overall standard of the musicians taking part was very high.
A wide range of instruments and the varied selection of pieces entertained the very appreciative audience throughout the afternoon. All boys performed extremely well. In her remarks the adjudicator, Mrs Karen Withers, provided very useful guidance and advice along with very encouraging comments. |

BBNI Verse of The Day |
“ For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” ( Psalm 18:1-2) |
