Perfect Performance

Trumpet playing brothers Zachariah and Alexander plus trombonist Christian  were enthralled to play with the Fisher’s Ghost Youth Orchestra’s (FGYO) production of Carnival of the Animals at Gledswood Homestead & Winery on Sunday 4th March 2021. After the concert they expressed their eagerness  to join the FGYO in future productions.

Murray Bishop, Musical Director of Camden Community Band applauds the successful implementation of his long-term goal of cross pollination of players that give young members from both groups the opportunity to broaden their musical experience. He stated that it is paramount to any musician’s development to maximize their musical experience.

One of the highlights of the concert was the narration by FineFM host Andrew Bukenya.

It’s been a tradition in Camden for many years  to have Camden Community Band, the local band, play in the Main Street for the enjoyment of passers by and to raise necessary funds to maintain the band.  Musical Director Murray Bishop was ecstatic when the band was given the all clear by Camden Council to perform in the main street of Camden. Mr Bishop stated “The 6th March is the rebirth of that tradition!

The band has beedi rehearsing in a COVID safe environment for many months and is looking forward to entertaining the citizens of Camden once again.
