June 19th
On Friday evening we brought music to the park in the form of Holymead Junior School Choir and Recorders, The Salvation Army Youthband and several performers from Brislington Enterprise College.
The sun came out just in time for the school choir and queues at the barbeque never stopped.
The music from all groups was great and provided a good chance for the community to see the talents of local schools. It included everything from Ave Maria, Brass Band to Indie Band and went on for 3 hours.
Everyone finally left the park by 10.30 pm after spending an enjoyable summer's evening listening to good music. Comments following ranged from
'what fantastic music and singing' to
'we will be using the park more often to have family activities'
Our thanks must go to the following, without whom the evening would not have been possible:
• Holymead Junior School Choir, Recorders and Mark Hoskins, Music Teacher for some fantastic singing and recorder music
• Anthony Selfe and the Salvation Army Youthband
• Richard Sykes, Teacher from Brislington Enterprise College for arranging for students to play at the event
• And the young people themselves, many of whom have never performed in the community, especially in a public park
We should also thank those who spent time organising, setting up and putting away as the 'behind the scenes' work is just as important.
