Brass in Class Visit Swinging Strings

 Students on the Swinging Strings programme enjoyed a wonderful workshop with the Brass in Class Team . Mr Daly and Mr Fitzgerald  arrived with a car packed with  all sorts of brass instruments , trumpets cornets, horns and trombones. We especially liked the bright blue p-bone.

They explained how the instruments work. We learned about valves, mouthpieces and bells. We heard a thrilling display of brass playing skills but best of all everyone got to have a go. Even our caretaking staff and our principal! Photos yet to be released but keep an eye on the school website.

Don't forget to watch out for the Ennis Brass Band recruitment announcements in September or call to the Band Room in Ennis Community College on Monday and Wednesdays.

Overheard in the yard on the way home. 'I really want to learn to play the garden hose!'

My only complaint - Mr Daly and Mr Fitzgerald made it look too easy.
