0 Blewbury Youth Brass on Good Form

  • Mar 5th
  • by judithatkins
  • · Learner Band · News

BYB played really well at today’s rehearsal making excellent progress on a number of new pieces.  We were fortunate that nearly all band members attended today which added to the quality of the sound.

We worked very hard on a number of the solo pieces and were impressed by the progress achieved on Desperado, Pure Imagination, Yesterday and I Will Follow Him. Well done to soloists Thea, Alice, Megan, Ciaran and Grace and to the entire trombone section.

The band is working hard on our ‘Boppathon’ sponsored music challenge and an impressive amount of practice is being done. Please sponsor our young players and help to support our tour.

Thanks to Lauren for some great photos which show the band and its adult helpers hard at work.

  • · Events · News · Private Event

A talented ensemble from Blewbury Brass Band joined guests in East Hagbourne to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of its finest residents. The band gave its first outing of the new summer fete programme which included Oklahoma, Teddy Bears’ Picnic and Pirates of the Caribbean. We were joined by Megan who played the beautiful horn solo ‘Demelza’, and were also treated to ‘The Acrobat’ by Grace on trombone. The band had a lovely afternoon and would like to thank our hosts for looking after us so well and providing a lovely lunch.
