Rio Bravo - Bruce Pearson & Barrie Gott, Eltham High School Training Band

Eltham High School Training Band, Conducted by Rick Plummer. Recorded at Mid Year Concert on June 21 2017
The Training Band contains students in year 7. All of the students started learning their instrument during term 1 of this 2017 and have had ten rehearsals in the lead up to this concert. The members of the band are extremely focused during each rehearsal, mastering many basic fundamental ensemble skills. As a result the collective sound created is beyond the individual level of each student.

Mister, I played with my band back in the old days at 3 months old and I assure you that this (sorry for my language) is "absolute dog shit" I played with a band half this size and some even acoustic and I sounded miles away better
