We had our first ever Granite City Brass 'Come and Play Day' today in Oasis Church, Bridge of Don. Putting this event together was all about creating a space for young musicians to play, and seeing it come to life today was very rewarding. The atmosphere was excellent, and we hope everyone enjoyed the music as much as we did. It went so well that we'll definitely do another one.

Thank you to all the young people who came along and made it a success. If you are interested in joining us for future events, please get in touch by private message, or by emailing [email protected]. We will be in touch soon for some feedback to help us plan for next time.
