Our Youth in Banding

One great thing about playing in a musical group is not just playing a tune, its also about learning, no matter how old you are.

At senior band rehearsal tonight, percussionist Steve is showing new percussionist Sarah the correct technique for doing a cymbal roll.

Good to see the young ones interested in music, and the more experienced players willing to teach their skill.

With pieces like Uptown Funk, Ghostbusters to Fly Me To The Moon, the performance was well received by the audience and Library staff.

Even the Manawatu District Mayor, Helen Worboys who is the Patron of Feilding Brass got in on the proceedings by shaving some of Nigel’s beard off.

Well done to Nigel and Rhyan and to Feilding Brass for another entertaining mini concert.
