National Youth Ambassadors Reach Out
The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain 'Ambassadors' ensemble has recently returned from a phenomenal 6 day outreach tour for East London Music Alliance, culminating in a radio appearance for Times Radio on 14th July.
After meeting on Sunday 9th July, the group got into action for great first day starting with an early Monday morning rehearsal before travelling to Haggerston School for two fantastic concerts to their year 7 classes.
On Tuesday morning they visited a junior school that comes under the auspices of Redbridge Music Services before moving to Tower Hamlets in the afternoon to play at Stepney Greencoat Primary School.
Wednesday saw them head to Essex with a visit supported by Barking & Dagenham Music Service at Warren Junior School before they headed to Winns Primary School supported by Waltham Forest Music Service in the afternoon.
On Thursday the group linked up with Newham Music Service at Tollgate Primary School, where they were described as inspirational, before an afternoon slot working with Bexley Music Service at Harris Academy.
The tour concluded on Friday 14th July with an exciting visit to Times Radio in the morning, where the group appeared on the Matt Chorley show, before a great visit with Havering Music Services to Emerson Park Academy in the afternoon.
A spokesperson for the organization commented, “The Ambassadors performed and presented inspirationally, and we are so very proud of the work they have done, how they have confidently risen to every challenge and shone at every opportunity. Thank you so much to our Operations Manager (and 5* Chauffeur!) Richard Milton for organising and facilitating this brilliant experience.” Highlights from the tour, along with information about the bands’ summer courses and concerts, are available to view on the Youth Band’s social media pages.
