Foden's prepare for Armagh leadership

Player from Foden's Band are getting ready to lead another wonderful Armagh Summer School

john Barber
 

Members of Foden's Band will be making one of their most enjoyable annual musical trips when they head to the Armagh Summer School in Northern Ireland between the 8th — 13th August.

Lead

It will be the 16th consecutive year that the players will lead the tutoring on a course that has benefited hundreds of players of all ages — and not surprisingly it has become an integral part of the North West Area champion's diary.

As well as various sectional and full rehearsals split into two bands (Sterling/Sovereign), the delegates are also treated to a soloist concert, BBQ, tutor's treat concert, individual tuition and master classes as well as a end of course concert.

Total cost of the course is £45 per person.
