Wessex Band Summer School goes Online
The Wessex Band Summer School will go ahead virtually this year ensuring that the longest running brass and wind band summer school will provide its usual high quality experience for attending musicians. The summer school offers a warm welcome to brass, woodwind and percussion players of all ages and abilities, with leading tutors and a family atmosphere. Chairperson Matt Stimpson stated, "With such large numbers involved from all over the country, we have had to make the difficult decision to not meet physically this year, as it puts the safety of our delegates and the local community in Wessex at risk.
As a committee our priority is the safety of our members, and the long-term future of the course, rather than taking a short-term risk based on a national roadmap with potential for change. We are excited to be running a virtual course this year, which will be led by our inspirational Musical Director, Michael Fowles, and our fantastic tutorial staff. Our Wessex family is so important to us, and we will look forward to meeting both returning and new players between Monday 2nd and Wednesday 4th August 2021, with more details being announced in the near future.”
