MID SUSSEX MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Music Festival was held on 19/20 November 2011 at Burgess Hill. I entered a few of my pupils plus my Senior brass group from the School.
Precious Metalz, the newly named Senior Brass Group from the school were up against Mid Sussex Youth Brass Band who have entered a few times before and usually won. We made sure we put all the dynamics in and the girls gave a very accurate and tight performance. Gaining first place the group were photographed for the Mid Sussex Times. My daughter Amy, who has been playing for just two months performed in the duet section with her Dad and gained a merit. The solos on Sunday saw Charlotte, Eleanor and Jasmine give very competent performances with wonderful dynamics and style. Brian was the last of my pupils to take part, receiving very complimentary remarks regarding his rendition of Reflections, on Euphonium, in the Adult Learner class. Well done to all who entered and watch out next year when I intend getting a lot more to play including Evolution Brass!!
