Leyland set for development

Leyland Band to hold development workshop later this month.

Leyland
 

The Leyland Band will be holding a Development Workshop on the 28th February.

After allocating initial places to local bands Leyland has opened up the event to players from outside the immediate area.

Led by Phil Harper and Leyland players, the aim is for a fun filled day of rehearsal, sectionals and masterclasses from Leyland’s soloist line up. The day will end with a short concert for friends and relatives to perform the repertoire worked on.

Open access

Access to the event is open to all irrelevant of age or ability and the band looks forward to welcoming old and making new friends alike.

All we ask is ‘an open mind’ to enjoy a great experience.
