JUNE – JULY SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS
These
were an outstanding success with the biggest number
of registrations so far. Existing and prospective players
improved their musical skills through expert tuition.
New friendships were formed and games thoroughly enjoyed.A
highlight was the last day when a talent show was held
where attendees performed some creative pieces and our
Patron, Graham Quirk, visited and
conducted the band! If ever our Musical Directors are
busy we now have a guest conductor!
Thanks to the tutors, members of No. 1 and No. 2 Bands
and QBA for their assistance.
But
the biggest round of applause for Cathy who organised
the whole event!
