We’ve had a lovely musical morning.

Eighteen players including a new lady with her recorder.

Great to see Rachel back playing her violin and thank you to Colin for taking over the Conductor role.

Somewhat hindered by the school gates being stuck shut, but it didn’t affect our enthusiasm!

Next rehearsal 28th March…

Did you play an instrument at school?

Do you still have it?

Be it 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years ago, why not dust off that instrument and join Skegness Community Orchestra?

You‘ll be made very welcome.

Playing music is like riding a bike, the know-how never completely disappears!

Our next rehearsal is 7th March, we‘d love you to join us.

And we have a new Musical Director…

You could start your journey together!
