Great Yarmouth
  Great Yarmouth showcased its present and future talents at the concert event

The Great Yarmouth and Great Yarmouth Future Brass Bands recently enjoyed performing at a highly successful joint 'Future Brass 2016' concert played out to a packed hall of listeners and supporters.

Music

The bands presented a highly enjoyable programme of music — ranging from 'Slaidburn' and 'Valero' to 'Immortals' and 'Mexican Hat Dance'.

Awards

The event also saw the presentation of the Ron Larkins Memorial Shield to talented young trombone player Jamie Harrison who beat off the strong solo competition challenge of cornet player Sean Edwards and trumpeter Kumani Debbage.

Also taking the plaudits was Kai Hart on tenor horn who showed no nerves in playing 'Happy Birthday' on the tenor horn just three weeks after he had started playing!

Jamie Harrison is following in the footsteps of his father Carl, who plays bass trombone for Great Yarmouth Brass4BR

Footsteps
