Dec 13, 2007 Big 4-0. Brass Band - 'The March King' (Sousa)

The Huntingdonshire Music School is 40 years old this year.  To celebrate this we arranged a complete weekend's worth of concerts and music-making activities - running through from Friday 23rd March through to Sunday lunchtime on the 25th March.

 

Obviously part of this involved some poor fools having to play during the night or unsociably early hours of the morning. These slots were referred to as the 'Twilight Zones'. Mostly they involved solo or duet performances (have you tried getting an orchestra to play at 4 o'clock in the morning? Wink )

We did, however, manage to persuade the Intermediate Concert Band to arrive for 8 o'clock on the Sunday morning and to stage a rehearsal for an hour. In this short clip we see them perform a selection of Sousa marches under the banner of 'The March King'.

 

You'll notice a wide range of ages of players - we have no age barriers. Anyone who wants to have musical fun is more than welcome to come and join in.
