The senior band’s next ‘gig’ will be at the Youth Remembrance Concert at the Leas Cliff Hall on 7 November.
The children’s brass band, which includes over 40 children from around Shepway, rehearses every Saturday in term time at the Folkestone Academy and, thanks to generous national and local funding, Shepway children aged 8-18 can learn to play a brass instrument for an incredible £1 per week.
Shepway Brass Academy is holding an Open Day, and children from 8-18 are welcome to come along and have a go at blowing a cornet, trombone, tuba, baritone or tenor horn. If they enjoy it and want to take it further, they can join the beginners band and very soon learn to play some tunes.
The Open Day will take place on Saturday 26 September between 9.30 and 11.30am. Come along and have a go!
