Saturday, 21 July 2012

Four young musicians from the Whaley Bridge Band have all passed their first music exams with distinction.

Fab Four

The ‘Fab Four’ of cornet players Dillon Roberts (aged 11) and Emrys Williams (8), Alex Camenzuli (12) on trombone, (all at Grade 1) and high flier Cerian Marsden (12) at Grade 3 on euphonium, passed with flying colours thanks to hard work, practice and bags of talent.

Delighted

Their teacher Lorraine Jenkins, who plays horn in the band, is immensely proud of her pupils, as she told 4BR: "I’m absolutely delighted that their hard work has produced such excellent results."
