After Brass at the Seaside, Riverside Youth puts on pBuzz music camp
Budding young musicians are being invited to take the first steps on their musical journey at an exciting musical event in Port Glasgow.
Riverside Youth Band - the reigning Scottish youth champion in the Senior Section - is welcoming young people from across Inverclyde and beyond to get involved in its latest pBuzz music camp.
The free sessions take place in Port Glasgow New Parish Church from 28-31 July, from 10am until 11.30am, and will be led by experienced educators and graduates of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the University of Strathclyde.
Youngsters aged seven-plus are welcome to get involved. Musical instruments will be provided and no previous musical experience is required.
Laura Good, RYB education director, said: "Learning a musical instrument is a life-changing experience, and our pBuzz music camp gives young people the chance to take the first step on what could be a lifelong journey in music.
"The music camp is an ideal activity for children to enjoy during the summer holidays, and we look forward to welcoming people to our sessions in Port Glasgow New Parish Church."
The pBuzz music camp comes after Riverside enjoyed a successful three-night trip to Lancashire where it was the first Scottish band to participate in the Brass at the Seaside music festival. The band performed in a prestigious evening concert alongside Lancashire Youth, St Helens Youth and Blackburn & Darwen bands, with all the organisations joining forces for massed items to bring the concert to a close.
The next day, Riverside Youth and Training bands performed in the picturesque bandstand in St Annes, entertaining crowds in the sunshine.
Mark Good, RYB musical director, commented: "Our young members represented Inverclyde with pride on their travels. Their standard of playing was very high, and they conducted themselves with great maturity at all times."
