Ratby Youth enjoy EuroDisney

The young players of the Ratby Co-operative Youth Band recently enjoyed a third musical trip to the joys of Euro-Disney Paris.

The Ratby Co-operative Youth Band recently enjoyed the opportunity to perform on stage at Euro-Disney Paris during the May half term.

The band previously played there in 2007 and 2010, but with many of those players having now progressed through the organisation, the Youth Band was able to make an exciting return with a host of new players in the ranks

Royal Castle

The concert took place outside the famous Royal Castle right in the centre of the theme park which attracts millions of visitors each year. And with wonderful weather to enjoy, they performed their programme featuring pieces such as 'Whole New World', 'Beyond the Sea' and the 'James Bond Theme'.

I couldn't be more proud of all the children who played so well in such a wonderful setting. The trip was a terrific experience for everyoneMD, Becky Moss

Proud

Musical Director, Becky Moss told 4BR: "I couldn't be more proud of all the children who played so well in such a wonderful setting. The trip was a terrific experience for everyone."

The 38 members were also able to enjoy two full days in the theme park.
