The Test Valley Brass Youth Band recently held their annual summer concert which included the passing on of the Blue Baton as part of the ‘Brass the Baton’ relay.

Flame

The local school hall was packed to near capacity and saw a local Olympic Flame lit to provide a welcome accompaniment to the great music that was performed by both Test Valley Brass Youth Band and their beginners in the Frosty’s Band.

The evening was based around movie themes with music from ‘Mission Impossible’ to ‘Highlander’. Trainee conductor Alistair Goodwin received his Level One Conductors Award.
