Speaking about the course, St Ronan's Band Chairperson Jane Hogarth said: "We're delighted to be able to run the event once again.

We have a very long tradition of nurturing young musicians, and our Band Camp has become a major vehicle to give fledgling players the opportunity to come together and have fun playing music!"
