Consett Junior Brass

Out and About in Our Community

A group of children from the Junior band were invited to play at Rosemount residential care home on Tuesday 6th July. The children played a variety of music in an hour concert to entertain the elderly, which was greatly received by everyone, including the staff. The children were given chocolate as a token of appreciation so they have decided that they will definitely be returning to the home this Christmas!

Band Day in the Easter Holidays

It was lovely to see some of the children from the band attending school in the Easter holidays! They were busy most of the day rehearsing two new pieces of music, ready for the concert with White River Brass in June. We did however find some time for a brilliant game of Rounders!

The children who attended behaved exceptionally as usual and a great day was had by all!
