Another eventful day for Nelson Vivace Youth Brass starting with an trip to Otago Museum for a concert with a a smaller band. Unfortunately There was a confusion with the time; the band turning up for 9.30 but the museum didn't open untill ten. The concert went ahead anyway and went excellently with the repeat in the afternoon going just as well. We were lucky enough to have our sponsor Riki McDonnell, owner of Vivace playing with us to a receptive audience.
The highlight for band members though was the visit to the Cadbury factory topped off by witnessing a ton of chocolate being poured down a huge silo and of course the chocolate handouts which allowed some band members to showcase their skills at consuming vast amounts of chocolate. Anticipation is building towards tomorrow 's contest even though everybody is stuggling to keep their eyes open.
