The youngsters of Lions Youth Beginner Band are to benefit from the skills of baritone star Katrina Marzella next month.

Katrina will head to the band on November 6th to work with the 30 or so players aged between 6 and 11.

Delighted

MD Chris Thompson told 4BR: "We are delighted to be able to welcome Katrina.

The organisation strives to provide the players in the band with the best possible experiences, and to have somebody of Katrina’s standing lending her expertise, drive and abilities to the Beginner Band gives them a wonderful chance to learn from one of the very best."

Brains

Katrina’s visit caps off what has been an exciting time for the youngsters, following an exciting quiz night that tested their musical brains against the adults and their forthcoming visit to play at the Newcastle Festival and National Youth Brass Band Championships in early 2013.
