Monkton Wood Academy’s Music Department is proud to announce that four students – Josiah, Chloe, Lucy and Verity – have been selected as members of Somerset Youth Concert Band.
The Concert Band, run by Somerset Music, has a long history of excellence in performance, and gives students the opportunity to work at a high level with other musicians from across the county. Selection for the band is via a very tough audition.
The department is also delighted to see Monkton Wood Academy percussionist Robert earn a place with Somerset Youth Orchestra.
All five musicians attended courses during the school Christmas break, culminating in Christmas concerts to large audiences from across the region.
Music teacher Sian Bowen said: “We are all very proud of you! This is an excellent achievement, well done and congratulations!”
