?Do sub group members automatically get main group posts? ?

I am setting up a group for an umbrella music organization, they will have sub groups. If the umbrella group is the ?Mobile ?group
a- Do sub group members get any main group posts? E.g. for umbrella level announcements
B - if so should the ?umbrella group also have their own sub group Internal management.?

Generally, yes.

Subgroup members are also members of the main group...it is not possible to join the subgroup without joining the main group. So under normal circumstances anything posted to the main group will be be received by everyone. However, such emails can be restricted on an individual basis using normal mail filters (e.g.: "follow only") and subscription options (e.g. "no email").

I don't understand what you mean by this.

Thanks Bruce I think your answer to a) actually answers b) as well. If all main group emails go to everybody in sub groups, then the organizing group responsible for the list should have their own sub group for their own internal organizing.

Whenever a subset of the general membership exists, and might need to discuss things among themselves without the involvement of everybody else, this is a natural case for a subgroup...with the membership at large in the main group.

Examples include a committee, board of directors, and so on (Ref:?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Why-use-a-Subgroup#Examples).

It somewhat depends on the purpose of the subgroup.

For example, I have a large group on a general topic and several subgroups on particular aspects. This was done because the subgroup transfer costs could not be justified by the smaller membership but the subgroups are worth keeping.

So, while the default is everyone gets all messages to the main group, I encourage subgroup members to set their main group message preference to no email.
Hence subgroup members get only the subgroup messages and the very few Special Notices from the main group.
