Has anyone else got through in the National Festival of music for youth to perform at Birmingham? I play in a recorder trio and we got through and we're soooo excited! Woohoo, only just over a month to go now! We've gone way over the top by taking a coach full of friends and family to watch, great stuff...anyone else going?!

I think one of the school bands near me have got through. Its not fair our school band has only got about 12 players, they have over 50

I know how you feel...before transferring to my present school , my old school orchestra consisted of about 3 players! There was me, maybe a cello and a beginner violinist...needless to say, we weren't very good!

lol does that actually count as an orchestra?!
it doesnt mean you had to be that bad though!!!
suppose it could have been a chamber orchestra, just maybe not quite up to the standard!

i have to say i don't know anyone in music for youth! never even heard of it until earlier this year! (thats education for you!)
best of luck with it though - im sure you will be great and it should be amazing fun!
