Pupils from King Edward’s School’s Brass group performed outside Bath Abbey on Tuesday 6^th December raising money for local charities in association with Bath Rotary Club.

The Brass ensemble played a wide variety of Carols and famous Christmas melodies, delighting the crowds of Christmas shoppers in the centre of Bath.   

King Edward’s School’s Director of Music, Rupert Drury said:

“After last year’s wind, snow and biting cold, it was fabulous for King Edward’s School’s Brass Group to perform in glorious sunshine. Within a few bars, passers-by were stopping and donating. Within fifteen minutes, we had over £50!”

“A supportive and highly appreciative audience gathered around and clapped enthusiastically whenever we stopped playing, and at least 30 or so of the general public remained for nearly the whole two hour performance.”

King Edward’s School’s Brass Group would like to thank:

The generous people who donated during our performance. Over £200 was raised for local charities in just two hours, a wonderful achievement. 

Starbucks, who so kindly donated hot chocolate to warm up the whole Brass group. Such a treat, thank you! 

Mr Jon Griffin for all his hard work preparing the ensemble in their rehearsals.
