Just to let you all know, we have successfully bid for funding from the ‘Music for All’ charity, for additional instruments for our wonderful school band. We are over the moon that the charity recognised all the amazing things that we do at Consett Junior school, through the many hours of practice our dedicated staff and children put in, to their high class performances in the local community. We have successfully bid for over £1500 that will enable us to purchase 20 new instruments, the PBones and PCornets are plastic instruments that allow the younger children to learn to play Brass Instruments, with lighter and more accessible equipment – yet still having the same sound.
I can’t wait to see them all perform in June, alongside White River Brass – one of the highlights of my year.
Many thanks,
Mr Dixon
