Brass Band A Big Hit!



The Wanganui Opera Houses roof was blown off as the Royal Navy Brass Band performed a free concert for Wanganui Schools on the 28th of May.

The concert began with a speedy xylophone act which quickly engaged the audience. Next up was a medley of film themes, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Sponge Bob, which got all of the audience on their feet clapping and dancing away.

The music was from all different years from 200 years ago, to the Can-Can, YMCA and a well known Kiwi pop star, Stan Walker 'Easy'. Children volunteered to conduct the band and to show the audience the Cancan dance.

In my opinion the concert was well-performed, as it kept all ages entairtained. Everyone learned about different types of instruments and had a blast dancing to pop songs. In conclusion I thought the performance was entairtaining and educational.
