- 21st March 2005 - Back Row

This is where most brass beginners start.... the back row, 2nd and 3rd cornets.
These are 3 of the back row players in the training band I now conduct!

Our first outings are at the end of April, but the programme is coming together
very well, and the sessions are as much fun as I can make it, while still
keeping order and making progress! We have a wide age range from 8 to over 70! :)

The garden birds are getting closer.... but only stay long enough to swipe a nut.
In this shot the bird is about 20 foot above the feeder, heading East!



Took the car to the garage this morning though, and rather than sit and wait, took a
turn around the block - via the canal.... bird not quite in focus, but.... :)



Note we've had to put in a formal system to get parental approval for the use of
all photo's we take of the training band - happily all parents agreed and signed :)
checkout www.chesterbrass.co.uk for more band info.


Sorry no time to catch up with PaDs. Breakfast meeting tomorrow at 7.15!
But should find tome over coffee later tomorrow :)

hehe looks fun, I wouldn't know where to start, but there'd be nothing cooler than being a star musician =o)

where there's muck there's brass... I see the girl is concentrating while the boys muck about, tsk, typical

Looks like they are having a lot of fun, and there is lots of personality here.

Excellent capture! Two boys goofing off and the girl *trying* to get some work done... how typical!
