Wellingborough is ‘Highly Commended’ at NFMFY
We’re slowly recovering from a fantastic day on Friday at Symphony Hall, where the Wellingborough Festival Band played ‘Mazama‘ and ‘Lord of the Dance’. ‘Mazama’ is inspired by a tribe of Native American indians who lived on the side of Mount Mazama and where wiped out when the volcano erupted.
They played really well, presenting a very enthusiastic and enjoyable performance, which earned them a ‘Highly Commended’ award. We have a video of the performance and plan to get it up on the web over this summer, so watch this space!
Earlier in the week, the Three Brass Farthings also played in the finals and they too, were awarded ‘Highly Commended’. Well done you three!
Apparently the Northamponshire groups who played also did very well, with many receiving ‘Outstanding’, including the Northamptonshire Youth Concert Band. I stayed for a bit and got to hear them play too. It was a very mature and sensitive performance. There is just so much music talent around the county.
