Foundation Youth Pipe Band visit
 |
Several years ago we were privileged to host the youngsters of the Foundation Youth Pipe Band in Napier and they are returning in October. |
The band will be performing at the Municipal Theatre in Napier on Monday 1st October at 7pm and in Hastings at Lindisfarne College on Tuesday 2nd October at 7pm. The cost for adults is $25 – tickets can be purchased via Ticketek for the Napier show and from Lindisfarne College for the Hastings show.
One aspect of the NZ Youth Pipe Band programme is to give school aged children the opportunity to come into a professional setting to see and hear the band free of charge. The band has formed a close relationship with entertainer Suzanne Prentice, OBE who will be joining the band for these performances.
Suzanne Prentice and the Foundation New Zealand Youth Pipe Band are delighted to present a night of musical excellence. Suzanne’s songs of sophistication and ballads with the warmth and depth of a truly great merlot combined with the Foundation New Zealand Youth Pipe Band’s sweet tone and dynamic rhythms will excite every soul.
This is a show for all ages and will incorporate many styles from ballads, pop and country to toe tapping jigs and reels. School aged children are encouraged to attend free of charge and will have the opportunity to have a go at playing a tune on the pipes or drums. Prepare yourself to be entertained from start to finish.
