Bilton Silver Band's Christmas Concert
Crescent School’s young brass players performed alongside former Crescent pupils at the Bilton Silver Evolution Band’s Christmas Classics concert last Friday 8 December. The performance took place at St Peter’s and St John’s in Rugby and was a fabulously festive affair. Both Brass Group and Mini Brass performed, delighting all with their renditions with Mr and Mrs Thackway in attendance.
Playing at the evening event were Year 5 pupils Alex B and Edward M who have both just been selected for the National Children’s Brass Band of Great Britain. Alex and Edward are following in the footsteps of Old Crescentians, Alyssa Barnett, Charlotte Corbin and Henry Corbin who all successfully auditioned for the National Children’s Band when they were pupils at our school.
We couldn’t resist taking a photo of these five talented brass players together with the amazing Di Fisher who has inspired so many of our young pupils to pick up and play a brass instrument.
Special congratulations to Princethorpe College pupil Henry who has just auditioned for and been accepted into the prestigious National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain. A really impressive achievement!
