Last night at the Anvil in Basingstoke I was the guest of the Berkshire Maestro's for their third Junior Festival for their West Berkshire members. There were 350 children from primary schools across West Berks performing in the choir, and some also performed dance, drama and poetry.
Additionally there were musical numbers from the Benham Woodwind Ensemble, Broken Bones trombonists, the Bradfield Recorder Ensemble and Welford and Wickham C E Primary School's African drumming sequence. Its a shame all primary schools can't have a set of african drums! I'm pictured with Naomi Hinton, the compere for the evening, and David Marcou, the president of the Maestro's at the drinks reception after the concert.
