BRASS QUINTET SUPPORTS WORLD-FAMOUS BLACK DYKE BAND

We are incredibly proud of our students in the brass quintet who supported the world-famous Black Dyke Band at their recent concert at Tennants. The five students, Freddie Lundberg and Tom Grigg (trumpet), Edwin Carr (baritone), Andrew Lunn (trombone) and Thomas Pyrah (tuba) are all members of Leyburn Band and represented the band and the school at the concert. The students had the opportunity to meet the Conductor of Black Dyke, Prof Nick Childs, who also found time to offer them some musical advice.
Andrew and Thomas are also members of theYorkshire Youth Brass Band which was founded in 2006 as a junior arm of the Black Dyke Band to inspire young musicians aged 11-21 to play high-quality brass music.
