Staggering standard

Ensemble Director Dr Brett Baker told 4BR: "With an age range of 11-16 the different groups will entertain with pieces from The Beatles to marches by Erik Leidzen.

The standard of playing from the young players is staggering so please do not miss a really entertaining programme of music to raise money for the trombone players of the future to take part in a concert that will allow them to experience a trip of a lifetime to Singapore."
