Members of Verwood Concert Brass perform at the Verwood Talented Youth concert

On Saturday 11th February the annual "Verwood Talented Youth" concert was held at the Verwood Hub.

Four members of the band, Emma, Ellie, Jason and Rhys opened the concert by playing the National Anthem before going on to perform their piece especially arranged by Ian Harris to complement the three cornet and one trombone quartet.
 


Later in the event Jason performed a solo, playing a piece from his Grade 4 exam repertoire.

All four players performed exceedingly well, showing off their talent as well as doing a fantastic job of representing the band. Hats off to them for having the nerve to play in front of a big audience without the usual 15+ other players around them as per the normal band concerts.

There is no judging at the concert, it is purely an opportunity for the community to celebrate the vocal, instrumental and dancing skills of the local youngsters. From the applause received it was evident that VCB's contingent were much appreciated.
