A Bristol based drum ensemble is planning to create a youth band for kids living with challenges and have launched a fundraiser to support the major key effort to amplify a Diversity Drum Corps
The Bracken Cavaliers of Bristol are starting a band specifically for kids with challenges it was announced last week in a Facebook post.
In the spirit of working more closely with the Bristol Community, Bracken is looking to reestablish a musical ensemble for the youth of Bristol. Not any type of ensemble, but a very special one to perform here in Bristol and its surrounding areas.
“This ensemble will be made up of those with disabilities, the post reads.

Bracken Drum Corps has deep connections to the area for close to 100 years, according to its website.
We know that many of those with disabilities have some very amazing talents. Unfortunately, many never get a chance to show their capabilities. Bracken wants to provide that opportunity here in Bristol, a spokesperson said.
Adding, “It is time to give the disabled citizens of Bristol, a chance to show their talents”
The Bracken Cavaliers of Bristol,have a long heritage, with many proud traditions, and is part of the fabric that comprises the Bristol community During that time, we have provided a safe place for the youth of Bristol and surrounding areas to have a fun time learning music and performing shows not only in Bristol but throughout the area
“The one thing Bristol doesn’t have is a music/performing arts program for the youth” the post says
In the spirit of working more closely with the Bristol Community, Bracken is looking to reestablish a musical ensemble for the youth of Bristol. Not any type of ensemble, but a very special one to perform here in Bristol and its surrounding areas.
Bracken feels this is a large but worthwhile undertaking. It will literally take a village to provide the wonderful gift of music to these young kids.
