13 Jan 2010 Forming a Community Orchestra

With her permission, we’re pleased to help spread the word for Kirsten and her community initiative…

Calling All Musicians!
Come and Join a New
Community Band/Orchestra

Do you play – or did you once play – a musical instrument? Do you ever think it would be nice to play with like-minded people in your area – just for fun? We think there may be quite a few people like you around – who enjoy playing but don’t find the time or opportunity – or who have a trumpet in the cupboard that they keep meaning to dust off.

We are hoping to set up a Community Orchestra or Big Band in the New Year – when we will all be full of shiny resolutions – to bring together all that dormant talent. You don’t have to be an expert – just enthusiastic and enjoy making music together, all sorts of music. We anticipate a weekly session in the evening and who knows what that could lead to.

If you would be interested in joining in, please email Kirsten Sagar, phone on 890223 or drop a note into Testbourne school. It would be great to get this off the ground if enough people are keen. Go on – give it a go!
