Brass Concert Review

12 December 2011

The annual Informal Brass Concert held on Thursday 1st December 2011 was a huge success and, in Mr Boote's opinion, was the best Brass Concert held at Downsend since the concerts first started seven years ago.

All together there were fifteen performers, who all played to a very high standard, with music ranging from Christmas favourites through to classical and jazz. Other highlights of the concert included 'Suo Gan' played by three students who have only been playing trumpet since half-term, the Downsend Brass Band playing the Dad's Army theme and Mr Boote who performed a Grade 8 piece, 'The Woodland Song' by Eric Ball.
