Yesterday at T1

New session.
Circus skills and archery! Creative concert, and showcase for song writers in "Stage 2"

Full orchestra rehearsal playing among other things an arrangement (By James Sills) of a Bellowhead piece which will feature orchestral instruments plus guitars and LOTS of accordions.

And some more.

Saskia singing in the concert last night Sunset over music camp on the first night

Ruth and Amy playing Mozarts Table music.

Todays super hero Tom. Tonight he will pass the cape on to someone else.

Everything underway.

T1 is in full swing with all going well and lots thats exciting happening. The concert last night was superb, with lots of campers and staff sharing their music . It was a real musical showcase, and a chance to get to know other people, and learn from their music making.
Pictured below are a few of the B groups ..... sounding really good, and its only Tuesday!
The soul band. (Could go on tour tomorrow!)

The folk session (with melodica!) sounded really nice

The vocal group deep in concentration learning some (very tricky) harmonies. Going to sound really impressive.

Matt directing the group

Choreography in the cook tent!

A really vibrant samba session

Too good to leave out.
