Kick off

It will all kick off at 12.45pm and finish at 2.30pm — and all you have to do is bring your, baritone euphonium or tuba (of all varieties), a music stand and colourful clothing!

Join us

Conductor, David Powell told 4BR: "We hope as many players as possible can join us once more. We will be having plenty of fun but will also be raising money for The Evelina Children's Hospital.

So if you fancy having a blow on your cimbasso, helicon, ophicleide, serpent, sousaphone or even Wagner tuba you'll be very welcome too!"
