On 30th October the Association held its Brass Training Day at Hellesdon High School, Norwich. 50 delegates had enrolled for the course which was led by the Musical Director of Leyland Band, Thomas Wyss. Sectional tutors, also from Leyland Band, were Iain Culross and Sacheus Pritchard (cornets), Ryan Broad (flugels), Rebecca Doyle (tenor horns), Danial Hohm (euphoniums and baritones) and Chris Doran (basses). Thomas Wyss led the trombones sectional.
Delegates were delighted to accompany Chris Doran in the solo The Sun Has Got His Hat On. Other music studied included two pieces by local composer/arranger and euphonium player Joseph Knight, A Norfolk Fanfare and Swing Low Sweet Charity. Star Lake, Prismatic Light and Abba Gold were the other three pieces played by delegates.
The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
