Red Admiral Youth Band- congratulations 2nd place, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 29th Oct 2018 @ 9:46pm
At weekend, Red Admiral Music Academy took part in Brass Factor Youth. It is a competition done in the style of X-Factor where each band performs in front of a panel of judges. The judges all give feedback and score each performance to decide on the winner. It is an entertainment contest so the performance is judged on how entertaining it is, in addition to how good the music playing is. The audience also get to vote for their favourite performance as a separate prize.
We took our Youth Band which comprised of players aged between 8 and 18 and they performed a fantastic Space Themed performance. We wanted to let you know as one of more of your pupils were part of the band. They all did an amazing job and won the Audience Prize and came second in the overall contest.
The performance is on You Tube if you would like to see it https://youtu.be/6yqsOEQWfEc
