Well the first day and the first gig of the tour is over. The band played very well, the soloists excelled, and the audience were 'wowed'. Then the band settled in to hear Canterbury Brass play their contest pieces. Canterbury Brass are an A Grade, so the Youth Band got to hear something to inspire them (Katherine Carpinter now knows what a Bass Trom should sound like! Come on Katherine!)
To finish the day off we had hot milo and home baking at Blue Skies. Tomorrow morning (5.30 no less!) Fenella, Melon, Jarrah, Dj, and Mike leave for the solo competitions in Dunedin. Whilst the rest of us have a lie in till 7 before leaving for the Army Base!
From Fenella's Granny and uncle. "Both Charles and I very much enjoyed Fenella's concert last night. Extremely professional, especially considering the age of the players."
