The Band is pleased that once again our youngsters staged a Recital at the Tamatea Community Church. On Sunday 16 July they played a number of tunes and each person played the test piece Loch Rannoch. Samuel Cater was the winner of this which was judged by our veteran pipers Hugh Harrison and Rod Appleton-Seymour.
July Keeping Warm Workshop
Over the three days 11-13 July we enjoyed a workshop involving many of our members.

We covered the fundamentals and learnt some new music and refined other tunes. Young Ben even got on to the pipes, playing them for the first time with the group. We also went over the music to be played in the Recital on Sunday 16 July. After a busy week everyone is looking forward to having some time off next week!
Sunday 9 October the band’s youngsters and learners, the All Stars, staged their second recital of the year. Here are some photos.

In October we’re holding our second workshop and look forward to providing some individual and group tuition for our members. On Thursday 6 Oct we’ll be playing in central Napier during lunchtime to give everyone a chance to put their skills to good use and to entertain the public, while the recital on Sunday 9th will be another chance for the pipers and drummers to perform.
The Band’s All Stars were involved in a holiday workshop in July and then all members performed at a Recital held on Sunday 24th at the Tamatea Community Church.
The workshops gave them a chance to work together as a group and to get some one-on-one tuition from our experienced tutors.
