On Wednesday 22nd January a number of musicians visited Fivemiletown College to attend Music Workshops with the Band of the Irish Guards. Brass players, woodwind players, pipers and drummers had the opportunity to play alongside the professional musicians for sectional workshops in the morning. The woodwind and brass players then had the experience of performing alongside the musicians in an afternoon concert, playing to a packed Assembly Hall of pupils and staff. Mrs Bloomfield was also invited to conduct the band for one of the pieces which was an unexpected surprise and a great experience! Overall, everyone enjoyed a very informative and productive day of music making and we thank Mrs Allen and all of the staff at Fivemiletown College for their very warm welcome and generous hospitality.
